10 months. That’s how long its been since Adobe first demonstrated Flash on Android — and that’s pretty much a lifetime in the mobile world. And yet, official Flash support for Android is still nowhere to be seen*. Do these people not understand that I have virtual fish to feed and e-crops to tend?<\/p>\n

While we still don’t have an exact date, we do<\/em> know which version of Android it’ll be coming in: the next one.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

In an interview with the New York Times<\/a>, Chief Android Architect Andy Rubin made it official: Android 2.2, otherwise known as the “Froyo” build (with the latest device-ready build being 2.1, otherwise known as “Eclair”), will have Flash support built in. This goes hand-in-hand with Adobe’s previous indications that Flash for Android would be available sometime in the second half of this year. <\/p>\n

Alas, it’s still not clear which already existing devices will be upgradable to 2.2, nor whether or not all upgradable devices will play friendly with Flash.<\/p>\n

*HTC has snuck Flash support into a few of their Sense-enabled devices — but it’s not exactly.. optimal. With video playback rates at around 2-3 frames per second and an overall feel of chunky crashiness, I certainly hope the official Google\/Adobe implementation is quite a bit better.<\/smaller><\/em><\/p>\n
