Adobe ’s Flash platform will get prescribed support on Android phones after this year , when Google releases interlingual rendition 2.2 of its nomadic operating system , according to the company ’s frailty president of engineering science quoted in aNew York Times consultation .
Almost a year ago , Adobe bragged about the first demonstration of Flash on Android . tight - forward to today , and Flash on Android earpiece is still MIA . Perhaps the whole Apple and Adobe Flash friction made us draw a blank that other telephone were no better at supporting Flash , either — at least not yet .
Sometime later this year though , the situation should deepen . Google ’s Andy Rubin , the lead engine driver behind the Android atomic number 76 , said that “ full support ” for Flash is coming in Froyo , the codification - name for version 2.2 of Android . Note that this statement , as report in theNYTinterview , was paraphrasing Rubin , rather than a direct citation .
Rubin did n’t give away any details as to which Android phones will be upgradable to version 2.2 , or when exactly Froyo will arrive , so many older models could beleft in the rubble , without proper Flash financial support . Hopefully , the implementation of Flash on Android 2.2 will be a better experience than the Adobe / HTC Flash partnership onthe Hero model , which is dull and unreliable at times .
Through this partnership with Google , Adobe is couch its mobile hereafter in the hands of Google . When Apple effectively banned Flash from the iPhone OS earlier this month , Adobe say it would center its campaign on developing for Android devices .
Rubin also took a covert thrust at Apple ’s reluctance to support Flash on its mobile platform and unopen ecosystem , say that being undetermined “ means not being militant about the thing consumer are actually enjoying . ”
“ When they ca n’t have something , people do care . Look at the way politics work . I just do n’t want to live in North Korea , ” Rubin said in the interview .
