Adobe is working on a version of Flash for Google's Android mobile phone operating system, but it turns out it's not the only one.
On Wednesday, embedded software specialist Bsquare plans to detail its work in the area. "Bsquare has been tapped by a global tier 1 carrier to port the Adobe Flash player to the Android platform on more than 100 embedded devices," according to a message sent to reporters about the news.
Flash is a software foundation that's popular for games, video streaming, and other more sophisticated Web site features, but it's mostly a fixture on PCs rather than mobile devices. Apple's iPhone, the technological leader among smartphones by many accounts, doesn't support Flash.
Google Android leader Andy Rubin demonstrated Flash on the T-Mobile G1 Android phone at an Adobe conference in November.

Yeah, iPhone has waaay better games than the G1 but the G1 is 2 and 1/2 years younger or so and if I remember right hardware acceleration is currently disabled.
