Adobe Flash technology hitting Android soon?

After Andy Rubin demonstrated Flash working on the T-Mobile G1 last November, the assumption has been that the technology would arrive on Android sooner rather than later.  Five months on, and there’s still no sign from Adobe; however, embedded devices company Bsquare are claiming to be working with “a global, tier-one carrier” to bring Flash technology to the Android platform.

Bsquare has apparently already ported the Flash Player to over 100 embedded devices.  However this time around the company is porting “Flash technology” not the player itself, to Android.  It’s unclear exactly what this means for end-user functionality, and Bsquare are keeping quiet on the details.

Right now there are more questions than answers, and with no timescale, software details or even a hint of which carrier the company is working with (though the obvious guess would be T-Mobile) it’s hard to get excited.  Bsquare are an authorized distributor of the Adobe Flash Player and SDK, though, so we’d rate this a couple of notches above vaporware at least.
