Sure, Apple may think that Flash is as cool as the kid everyone picked on in elementary school, but Google is moving ahead with their plans to get Flash running on the next version of Android.
Skepticism has abounded that if Apple could not get Flash to work well on their mobile platform, than Google was gong to fare no better. Below is a video from an Adobe evangelist demoing Flash on a Nexus One. You decide if it looks like something you want.
I wonder how many takes it took to get this one right. The other day I was reading it crashed and burned in a public demo.
Flash games (and apps) look great! Combine mobile with webbased and we have a winner. And how often is that winner free. How strange that Apple would not want that in their os ;)
Works so well! I bet it will keep improving. It’s also worth posting a link to the way html5 websites work like:

Make the comparison and frankly, decide for yourself what kind of experience you’d really want to have from your mobile devices.
Being a mobile platform I would love to see this while the phone is NOT connected to the mains… What does it actually do to the battery?
