01 Jul 09 Flash to go into Android by BSquare
Bsquare Corp. confirmed today that it has ported Adobe System Inc.’s Flash mobile player to ARM-based smartphones and netbooks running Google Inc.’s Android operating system.
Bsquare Corp. is a mobile embedded software maker.
The porting of Flash mobile player is based on the latest version of Adobe’s Flash Lite player, v3.1.
Bsquare’s port of Flash Lite 3.1 runs on Version 1.5 of Android, dubbed “Cupcake”, which was released earlier this spring, said Larry Stapleton, Bsquare’s vice president of global sales.
Flash Lite 3.1 already runs on smartphones using Microsoft Corp.’s Windows Mobile and Nokia Corp.’s Symbian operating systems.
However, it does not run on BlackBerry handsets or Apple Inc.’s iPhone. thus giving an advantage to Android phones.
