So a company (not adobe) is making flash available for dell's android netbooks... Does this sound right to anybody else?

I wonder what the netbooks will look like/cost...

I'm fairly sure, back when Flash on Android was mentioned, that it was the company making flash for Android.

They are "authorized" by Adobe to do this, so I'm sure it will run quite well.

I was more interested in flash, because you know if it makes to netbooks... then maybe like 9 years later we can get it on our phones!

in other words no, no pictures :/

The fine folks at BSQUARE have announced that they'll be porting Adobe Flash to Google's Android on behalf of a "global Tier 1 carrier." Whether or not that implies this "global Tier 1 carrier" will have exclusive access to Flash out of the gate remains to be seen. Details are otherwise very scarce, and it's unclear how this relates to the demo of Flash Andy Rubin showed off at Adobe MAX last year. However, BSQUARE bought NEC's Adobe® Flash® Technology Consulting and Distribution business 12 months ago, and has done Android work for other customers, so the expertise should certainly be there -- and naturally we wouldn't expect them to go shouting about this if they didn't have Adobe and Google's blessing in one form or another.

From engadget, back in May

Not sure what article mentioned they were affiliated with Adobe, but from what I read it implied they were the "trusted" 3rd party for making Flash work on other devices.
