Flash Coming to Android End of 2009 ?

Adobe just announced that they've set a timetable to bring Flash to Android (and other smartphone platforms) and that it'll likely happen before the end of the year. Adobe smartly realizes that the game is changing with mobile devices becoming the new PCs. And with mobile devices being used more and more, the cry for real Flash has only grown louder.

Adobe has been "reengineering its software so that Flash-based games and videos can run on different handsets without being modified." Adobe has even gone as far to strike alliances with chip designers and phone makers and have "offered millions of dollars to developers willing to write programs for mobile devices that use its software".

We've yet to personally experience true flash on our mobile devices so we're definitely excited to see what Adobe can bring to the Android platform. What about you guys?
