You’ve got to love this quote (and not so subtle dig) from Google’s keynote today at Mobile World Congress:
“The line is blurring between mobile phones and desktop computing … one of our main goals when we embarked on smartphones at Google was to really mirror the desktop web browsing experience – but for many of you and you know who you are – there’s been a critical component missing – Flash!”
Google Confirms Flash On Phones

Thank you Google. Not only are you more agile – you’re also smarter!

Well it seems like Android will never be able to overtake the iPhone because
of their buggy multi touch hardware/SDK. If Google had a top notch OS and
SDK like the iPhone OS then you wouldn’t need to leverage Flash for mobile.
Why have a third party company/development environment for your phone when
everything you can imagine can be done natively….via the iPhone OS / SDK.
No need to learn Java nor ActionScript. Objective-C is way faster than both of
the aforementioned languages anyway. -
@Teddy – supporting Flash does not mean you exclude doing things natively. Supporting it opens up a huge amount of content and designers/developers can use established tools to produce content and apps like they have in the past.

google should use the marketing "it’s not *like* the internet on your phone, it is the internet"
