Adobe has officially announced that they will be bringing Flash 10 support to Windows Mobile, Android, and a slew of other mobile operating systems. Surprisingly, Apple’s iPhone is missing from the mobile roundup. Adobe’s CEO Shantanu Naraye released the news during Adobe’s latest earnings call. Adobe’s plan is to release a beta version of Flash for mobile platforms during the Adobe MAX developers conference this October.
Nearly six months ago, we learned that Adobe was working on bringing full Flash support to Android, Windows Mobile and other smartphone operating systems. At the time we saw a video demonstration of a Flash vidoe playinf on the T-Mobile G1. For years, Adobe has had a Flash Lite version of their software available for Windows Mobile, but it is very dumber down Flash support. With Flash 10 support, great HTC handsets are destined to get even better.
The natural benefit of Adobe Flash 10 is that mobile web browsing will become even more like what you get on your desktop. Android’s browser and Opera 9 already offer extremely dynamic experience, but I am really hoping that developers will see Flash as another development tool to enhance their current applications and use it as a backbone to create more streamlined.
