Adobe Demoes Flash for Android on T-Mobile G1

The T-Mobile G1 doesn't support flash yet. The key word here is 'yet'. At Adobe's MAX event, Andy Rubin helped demo flash running on the G1. There has been an ongoing battle of sorts between Apple and Adobe over flash for the iPhone. To date, Apple or should I say Steve Jobs will not allow Flash on the iPhone. Here's where the open-source goodness of Android and the G1 pound their collective chests. UPDATE: Video demo after the break.

Adobe and Google are working together on this, but there was no firm date given for a release. When it is available, expect an OTA update and many happy G1 owners.

Google is not doing anyone any favors by ensuring that Adobe's proprietary flash is used by mobile users. A better approach would be to use Gnash.
