Android OS, Google’s Linux-based mobile phone operating system 2.2 named “Froyo” (for frozen yogurt, keeping with the alphabetical dessert naming scheme), supports a new mobile Flash (not Flash Lite, not desktop Flash) that in theory enables flash to run on the Android platform, albeit a little slowly. Non mobile optimized Flash stutters the most on the new system but newly coded optimized Flash runs smoothly. Some video does not play at all due to licensing restrictions. This makes us wonder, if you’re going to retool why not use the new up and coming technology standard of HTML5 rather than the legacy Flash standard that’s clearly on it’s way out?
