this will be a bust

adobe will do something i am sure of it.

they already got it ready for the iphone.

Silverlight was used by NBC during the Olympics and it looked very, very good. Of course it's not as widespread as Flash, but I heard that MS has exclusive deals with several content providers on the web so it may become more popular in the future. The bottom line is it can't hurt to have it, especially since the iPhone doesn't. If this is true, hopefully it will motivate Adobe as well.

does android support java? if it does, and its the same web browser on the iphone, i saw a video on how to get flash onto the iphone which may help us.

yes it does support javascript but that iphone flash trick would probably not work on the g1 seeing as they are different os's

I wish it would work because I have a friend who does the whole "lifecasting" thing, just caught up with her after a couple of years. she moved to japan from NYC and I havent talked to her in the longest time, there's a chat and a cam on her site and from what i see, it takes flash to run them both
