Update from Adobe on Flash for G1

Sorry if this has been posted already, I searched and didn't find anything. Just found this little blog that was posted a few days ago: http://blogs.adobe.com/jd/adobe/

Q) And hey, what about that iPhone I keep hearing about?

A) "Sure. So smartphones continues to be a category that we are focused on. We have clearly streamlined our strategic intent to make sure that we have both web browsing as well as Air support on these smartphones. We actually already deliver Flash for smartphones, such as those powered by either the series 60 from Nokia, running the [Symbian] operating system and/or running Windows Mobile, as well as in Japan we certainly have a lot of support. So I would say that already today we have a lot of smartphone category phones that are supported with Flash. That's why we've shipped over 800 million and we say we expect to reach our one billion mark sooner than anticipated... At MAX recently, we also showed a prototype of Flash running on the Android operating system that's powered by Google, and now we have also said that we are only going to focus on Flash 10 rather than Flash Lite, which is why it's taking a little time. But we fully expect to see versions running for smartphones in the middle of next year." (Yes, I know he didn't even mention the name this time... twice burned and all that, I guess.... ;-)

Adobes major conference where they bring up their speakers and other major tech minds last month had someone on stage, with a G1, running flash FYI.

it will happen, it;s close. BUT! My advice, try to free yourself from flash. Too many devs use way too much of it. It's designed to make certain elements where needed and not to be an entire web-site.
