Adobe’s CEO Shantanu Narayen has recently announced during a television interview with Fox Business that Flash 10.1 will finally be available on Android, BlackBerry and WebOS handsets in the second half of this year (H2 2010). Regarding Android everybody should also be made aware that only CortexA8 based handsets (TI OMAP 3x and SnapDragon etc..) will be able to run Flash 10.1. It also seems like Adobe has indeed decided to scrap the Windows Mobile 6.x plugin as it was state back in February (they are curently working on flash for Windows Phone 7 instead). Developers can also sign-up now to be notified of the release of Flash 10.1 and AIR for Android (they’ve entered private-beta).
