Flash 10 for Google Android

Adobe showed at the Adobe MAX 2008 developer conference Flash 10 running on Android.

The Apple iPhone might never get Adobe Flash because it would impact Apple's software control over the iPhone.

This is a real disadvantage for the iPhone as Flash is very popular on the web especially for video playback and online games.

When the Flash Player 10 will be released on the Android OS is not known yet.

Any smartphone with a 200 MHz or better processor and 16 MB of RAM should be able to run the new version of Flash, opening many phones up to the software. A completely capable web browser is also required, implying support of typical standards.

Previously, Flash was only available on a few smartphones via Flash Lite, a greatly stripped down version of the software.
