Verizon’s confirmation that the Motorola XOOM wouldn’t ship with Flash Player support was yesterday’s Honeycomb disappointment, but according to Adobe we shouldn’t have to wait too long. In a new post on the official Flash blog, Adobe’s Matt Rozen confirms that “Adobe will offer Flash Player 10.2 pre-installed on some tablets” together with “as an OTA download on others within a few weeks of Android 3 (Honeycomb) devices becoming available, the first of which is expected to be the Motorola Xoom.”

Considering the XOOM is expected to go on sale this coming Thursday, February 24, that suggests Flash Player 10.2 for Honeycomb is on course for a release in mid-March. A few weeks without the support, then, but nowhere near as long as iPad owners have been waiting.
