Back when Andy Rubin demonstrated
Flash working on the T-Mobile G1 last November, the assumption was that the technology would arrive on Android sooner rather than later. Its been five months and there’s still no sign from Adobe; however, embedded devices company Bsquare is claiming to be working with “a global, tier-one carrier” to bring Flash technology to the Android platform.
Bsquare has apparently already ported the Flash Player to over 100 embedded devices. However this time around the company is porting “Flash technology” not the player itself, to Android. It’s unclear exactly what this means for end-user functionality, and Bsquare is keeping quiet on the details.
Right now there are more questions than answers, and with no time table, software details, or even a hint of which carrier the company is working with (we can probably assume T-Mobile) it’s hard to get excited. Bsquare is an authorized distributor of the Adobe Flash Player and SDK, though, so there is some credibility to the rumors.
