New "cupcake" update details surface

No Dual Touch?
No Flash player! >.<

multi touch was *never* listed as a feature, and why would google include Adobe software in their os?

Let me know the next time you find a copy of Windows or Mac OS that includes flash.

... really?

Honestly, Flash is created by Adobe. Yes, they could bundle it, but it would no longer be a fully open source OS (or it'll have some serious hiccups, like other similar open source flash players have).

The best we'll get for flash is an add on, and it will only ever be Flash Lite due to cpu requirements.

I would actually hate to surf the web on my phone if Flash was enabled, could you imagine how slow it'll be and how much battery drainage will occur? Imagine a "punch the monkey" flash banner ad, sitting there wasting your b/w and cpu (especially minimized).

As far as multi-touch -- who really needs it? The zoom buttons are far more practical for the screen real estate (try multitouch on a rooted phone). I'm all for cool new animations and features and such, but I'd rather Google spend time fixing and adding features which really matter (such as improved exchange support for those business users).
