At the GSMA Mobile World congress, Adobe solemnly promised that over the next two years, a full-featured version of Flash Player 10 will appear on almost all new smartphones. Flash will be pre-installed on devices running Windows Mobile, Google Android, Nokia S60 / Symbian operating systems and even under the new Palm OS. New smartphones with all these OS will go on sale from the very beginning of 2010.
The only popular device that can be left without a flash is the iPhone.
The course for porting Flash to most mobile platforms was taken in the fall of 2008. However, even then it became clear that there would be problems with the release for the iPhone. Although there were no technical difficulties, Adobe programmers
made it clear that they could prepare the release literally within a couple of days, but they never received permission from Apple.
Negotiations between the companies continue , but it is unlikely that they will succeed, because Apple perceives Flash as a kind of “Trojan horse” in its monocultural system.
