The NCAA Tournament streaming on the Nexus One? A nice reminder -- in case you forgot -- that we're still awaiting Adobe Flash 10.1 on our Android phones. [via ...

After Adobe's first video of Flash 10.1 running on the Nexus One, it seems as though the focus was placed on the battery meter and its apparent drain during the video, instead of the Flash 10.1 and all it will bring. But after writers began noticing the video appeared to be chopped and edited, Adobe itself decided to squash the rumors and get to the bottom of things.

Adobe supplied some raw data that showed a three-hour battery...

The rumors are true. Flash 10.1 is in the ROM that was ported from the HTC Desire to the Nexus One. And it works ... OK, it's not great. But remember that...

Yeah, yeah. another teaser showing Adobe Flash on Android. We get it. We're as tired as seeing them as you are and are ready to see Flash 10.1 roll out. And the folks at Adobe assure us it's coming. They're just not saying when.

The good news is that that that we've gotten our hands on it, we're a little less fearful than we might have been earlier. We're not totally on board, and we can't...

This Flash-or-no-Flash-on-Android is getting rather hard to keep track of. Somedays it looks like Android is getting Flash right around the corner, while other days it looks so far off in the future for Android to ever receive Flash. Today, it's kind of in the middle of that. Adobe told Engadget:  

Support for full Flash Player 10.1 requires some enhancements to existing...

During CES it was announced by Motorola that it would be sending out an update to their Android devices to enable Flash with Flash Player 10.1.  As you can see from the video (embedded after the break), Flash has been optimized for the Droid chipset and runs pretty darn smooth.

You can see Flash on the Droid looks like it is ready to go....

From the Forums is a great way for you, our readers, to see the hottest topics being discussed. But you must be a registered member and becoming a member is a simple process. So if you have not already already done so, head on over and register now!

The Motorola Sholes is a hot topic here at Android Central HQ partly because of our excitement for a Moto Android device and mostly because of the disappointment that is the Sholes' teenage sister, the Morrison. We've been excited since we first saw the Sholes hardware and got even more excited after

If you want to see how Flash runs on the HTC Hero, feel free to head over to Adobe where they've got a video look at how it all works. Overall, everything about Flash and Android looks pretty darn good--you can double tap to full screen flash videos, play flash-based games, and even access web pages that utilize Flash. For the video they played the trailer for Transformers 2 and utilized...

One of the things missing from Android, for better or worse, is official Flash support. We can save our 'to-flash or not-flash' arguments for later, but the truth of the matter is, Flash has become a pseudo-standard for the web--so many websites have adopted it that it's become part of the web browsing experience.

So though Android has been without Flash since its inception, make no mistake Flash is coming....

Adobe just announced that they've set a timetable to bring Flash to Android (and other smartphone platforms) and that it'll likely happen before the end of the year. Adobe smartly realizes that the game is changing with mobile devices becoming the new PCs. And with mobile devices being used more and more, the cry for real Flash has only grown louder.

Adobe has been "reengineering its software so that Flash-based games and videos can run on...

Score one for the Android user, kind of. BSQUARE has announced that they'll be porting Flash over to Android for a "global tier-1 carrier". Their words, not ours. We're going to go out on a limb there and predict that the "global tier-1 carrier" is T-Mobile. Shocking, we know.

The press release leaves a lot to the imagination. We don't know the release date, we don't know how it works, we don't know how this solution works with

Though we had fully expected Flash to show its pretty face in Android already, it's always a good thing when there's an official announcement. Adobe just announced at MWC that Flash is coming to Android!

We had already told you guys that Firefox Mobile aka Fennec wasn't coming to Android but more details are coming out as to who's to blame. Fennec won't play nice with Android Market because apps in Android Market need to programmed with a custom form of Java to run on Android. Mozilla and the Fennec peeps won't have that and won't be releasing any form of Firefox until Google amends the limitation of Android Apps.
