While Apple continues to give Adobe the cold shoulder over Flash support on the iPhone, it seems that the T-Mobile G1 (and by extension, Google Android) is more than happy to leap merrily into bed with the web standard.
At Adobe’s MAX event this morning, Google’s current director of mobile platforms, Andy Rubin, demoed Flash running on a G1, and apparently making it look easy in the process. There was no mention of when or how the functionality will be added to the G1 in the consumer realm, but you can bet that if Google was willing to show the tech up and running so openly, it can’t be very far away.
Rubin did indeed confirm that Adobe and Google are working hard to make it happen. This means of course that annoying animated banners filled with yapping emoticons and testosterone pumped action movie trailers will no longer be confined to computer based web browsers. Perhaps we should all be careful what we wish for…
