No Flash Player 10.1 for Windows Mobile 6.5

Software giant Adobe is known to be working on delivering Flash Player 10.1 for a wide range of smartphones available on the market at the moment, but it seems that the company plans on leaving devices powered by various platforms out in the cold. We already counted Apple's iPhone among them, and now we learn that handsets running under Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system won't taste the technology either.

Flash Player 10.1 is one of the most wanted technologies meant to soon arrive on mobile phones in the wild, most of you might know that. Windows Mobile 6.5 was one of the platforms said to almost certainly receive the solution, something that would have made a lot of users rejoice, yet it seems that Adobe changed its mind on the matter, and the older mobile operating system has been removed from the support list.

“You can expect the final release for Android to be available mid-year. All Android devices that meet our minimum s/w and h/w requirements will be supported. Unfortunately, I cannot say a lot more publicly about our port to the Android platform at this time. As for WinMo, we have made the tough decision to defer support for that platform until WinMo7. This is due to the fact that WinMo6.5 does not support some of the critical APIs that we need,” an Adobe representative stated, reports IntoMobile.

In the end, it seems that, even if Windows Phone 7 doesn't taste Flash Player 10.1 when launched on the market, it will still receive the solution, as Adobe is focused on making the move. However, the owners of a Windows Mobile 6.5-based device won't receive the news as lightly as one might expect, although they might still have the opportunity to enjoy Adobe's Flash technology via Flash Light. Windows Mobile 6.5's performance on the market will be affected even more by the move, that's for sure, even if Microsoft is still focused on its development.
