Adobe seems to be ignoring the threats from Apple's Steve Jobs and claims that the latest version of its Flash player is headed for all of the "major smartphone operating systems".
A statement released by the company said that Flash Player 10.1 is available on the Android OS and Google TV today, with the Blackberry OS, HP WebOS 2.0, future versions of Windows Phone 7, Limo, Meego and the Symbian OS also expected to support Flash Player 10.1.
Of course absent is Apple's IOS for the Iphone, but then its users only visit websites that Steve Jobs tells them to.
Flash Player 10.1 allows a web browser to fully make use of websites that use Flash for navigation, games, and showing video. There are quite a few sites that are almost unusable without Flash support, and Adobe said that punters have been asking for this player for many years.
Most smartphones running Google's Android OS 2.2 already include this Flash plug-in, and HP's newly released Palm Pre 2 running WebOS does as well.
Adobe did not say when it will release versions of Flash Player 10.1 for the Blackberry OS, Windows Phone 7, Symbian or Meego.
Apple is hoping that people will opt for HTML5 technology, which is still being developed. Steve Jobs claims that Adobe Flash is responsible for causing all the crashes on Apple computers. It is also probably responsible for all those dropped calls on the Iphone 4.
