Android and Flash Player?

First it was the iPhone that at least in the current version doesn’t have the Flash Player (although it is rumored to be getting it in the near future), now we have the Open Handset Alliance fostered by Google and still no Adobe presence in the list of members. It would seem like joining the alliance would be a good way to get the Flash Player and in time the AIR runtime onto more handsets.
Perhaps I am way off base and maybe there are politics at play here but I was really hoping to see Adobe in the Open Handset Alliance.

Yes I hope so as well. I think they should be in as many mobile devices as possible!
Thanks for the post!
God Bless,

Same Here. It will give a huge leap for developers to be free to do what they want on the Apple handset.

well the important thing is that it will support h.264

Android support is a MUST for the success of Flash Player in the mobile revolution.

With the growth of hand-helds how could Adobe over look it.

I don’t think its that simple. google had Flash support on the Android during pre realease. They removed it when the G1 is about to release. I personally think that an agreement can’t be reached between Adobe and Google at release.
I think google wants adobe to pay them money for having flash support, so adobe can break into the mobil video playback. Adobe don’t want to pay the amount google want, so no deal can be reached.
Or I could just be BSing, take what I say with a grain of salt

I heard rumors online the Microsoft would like to put Silverlight on Android devices. So in that case it could be a battle between Adobe Flash & Microsoft Silverlight.
But like the previous guy said I don’t really no for sure.

I hope that is true. A little competition may be what is needed. I love my new G1 but am missing the Flash Player.

I really like my G1 internet usage @ work was banned unless work related or unless you are a favorite. I bought my G1 to net surf how ever I LOVE AM. Radio talk stations but can’t get it due to no flash player that is all that really sucks. For $35 a month for G1 service ontop of $69 minute plan I don’t think there should be close to no internet usage limits!!!!!

I o believe that android will have flash. It has been demonstrated and it works. I think any internet phone should have flash. if other phones have it and you just release a new os on a phone, dont ou think that more people ould want to buy if it has the full package. the g1 hasnt turned out to be all it cracked up to be ever since everyone found out internet useage was limited due to the lack of a flash player. Come on , someone smart sould be able to come up with code for a generic version of a player. just use a different name. Thats why its an open source os. I think t mobile will lose sales because of this as word spreads. this phone should of been the ultimate phone as the first release. first impressions do count. they dont count on a second version. If theres flaws and missing applications or if they are removed before sale then that makes me not want to invest my money ina new product. Thats like buying a new computer that has flash( which they all do) but when it hits the shelves they take it off and your left with basically nothing. Come on we want full internet useage. Wake up people , these big companies have enough money to do these things . there shouldnt be any reason they cant come to a reasonable resolution. They should of never put it on in the first place if they were going to remove it. jeeeez do you not want people to buy this stuff. And god forbid enough g1 were pre ordered and sold already to cover the costs of putting a simple program on the phone. Windows mobile and symbian have it. What makes this so different. How about making the customer base larger? Im thinking this g1 fad will wear off very soon. i have a g1 and love it but when i found out no flash i got pretty pissed. especially learning that it was on it and then removed. I will be happy if it is put on the phone as a downloadable application or is put on by an ota update . other than that i could of just bought a regular phone with a touchscreen that had wndows mobile. Like the wing or shadow. Lets get this crap in gear and stop going backwards in the mobile phone industry or does google and adobe want to wait for a new release on a different carrier. I would be worried about losing money. Like i said first impressions, first impressions. well i am done venting so i hope everyone understands that this IS a bg deal for some people, and when i spoke to t mobile customer care they have had pent of questions about flash but no one knows whats going to happen
