Adobe Flash might get ported to Android by a carrier

Back in November last year we were able to see Adobe showcasing a full-fledged version of Flash 10 on Google's Android mobile operating system, namely on T-Mobile's G1 device (or HTC Dream), yet the company has failed to come to display the Flash 10 mobile that would work on the Android platform.

Now we learn that Adobe might finally make a move in this direction, at least this is what the embedded device company BSQUARE seems to have pointed out, reports Cnet. What is interesting though is the fact that the technology won't be ported to Google's operating system by Adobe itself. BSQUARE has already ported Adobe’s Flash technology to more than 100 embedded devices, and the company is announcing now that it will be porting Flash to the Android platform for "a global, tier-one carrier."

These are the only details that BSQUARE seems to have unveiled on the matter, and no other info on which international carrier it would be making the move for have been made public at the moment. For what it's worth, said operator might as well be T-Mobile, the company that inked the deal with Google for distributing exclusively the G1 handset on the US market.

While the info on what carrier will be in charge has been kept under wraps, there are not many details on what limitations the product will come with either, nor on how the ported Flash will look like compared to Adobe's forthcoming offering. At the same time, it is also uncertain when the final product will actually be available for use on the Android platform.

As you can see, there are a lot of things that still need to be unveiled. Yet, as soon as this company will port Adobe's Flash player to Google's Android platform, we expect more details to become available on the matter, so stay tuned to learn the news.
