At the Adobe Max developer conference, Andy Rubin and Kevin Lynch showed that a full HTML web browsing experience was much more appealing using the Flash technology. This collaboration between Google and Flash has been expected for some time, and can only bring benefits to all sides.

Although Apple has been trying to get Adobe Flash to improve the iPhone as well, such a move is not possible, especially “thanks” to the efforts of Steve Jobs, who has showed no sign of “compassion” towards Apple. This can only mean bad news for the iPhone, as all the other important smartphone operating systems, Symbian, Windows Mobile and now Android, support Flash technology, whereas the iPhone cannot boast such an accomplishment.

However, some good news for the iPhone might be just around the corner, as several rumors claim that there is a possibility that Steve Jobs might allow Flash technology to go to Apple as well. This comes after Adobe tried to please Jobs by enhancing the Flash performance on the Mac computers with the usage of Flash 10.

“We are excited to be working alongside Adobe to bring Flash technology to Android,” stated Andy Rubin, director of mobile platforms at Google. “Adobe Flash is crucial to a rich Internet and content experience on mobile devices and we are thrilled that Google will be one of the first companies along with the Open Handset Alliance to bring Flash technology to the smartphone market.”

This development definitely brings the Android's OS what is has been lacking for a while now, giving it an overall better view. The move should also please G1 fans, as they can now fully enjoy the web browsing experience like never before.
