Given that the latest I heard from Adobe was that flash was expected to be available for Android in the "First quarter of 2010", that would give them until March 31. That's still two months away. So I wouldn't start panicking until then. Even then, software companies miss deadlines all the time. Remember Vista? What about WinMo 7, to be more on-topic for this forum?

Flash for Android has nothing at all to do with flash for apple, any more than, for example, flash for linux and flash for Mac. If Adobe wanted to do both, they would be able to; except that for Apple (iPod/iPad), they have to get Apple's approval. For Android, they don't have to get anyone's approval.

DO you even bother to read what people post is response to you, or do you just spout off because you can?

Do you even understand what it means when someone says "First quarter"? Once again, more slowly. 1st quarter means Jan 1- March 31. there's still two more months, assuming they are actually on schedule. Remember Vista? How many times did they push that back? Windows 7? Windows Mobile 7? winMo 6.5? Virtually all software companies miss deadlines at least once in a while.

I don't know why I even bother, except that I don't want some future user browsing this forum to get the wrong idea from reading your crud.

What droid update? I never saw anything official that said there would be an update at any specific time. There were rumors and leaks that there *might* be one on the 22nd. However, until I see something official, I'm not that bothered.

If you really want a 32 Gig card, buy a plane ticket to Hong Kong. Or whatever the Chinese are calling it these days. There's probably other places globally as well. Or wait a few months, they WILL eventually make it over here. I haven't managed to fill my 16Gig, yet. And when I do, it will be tim...

you'll only find them in asian markets or with specialty importers atm. Someone needs to bring them to the US, and atm, they are too expensive for someone like walmart to try.

So back to the original question of this post...
I think there will be no Flash on Apple any time soon.
Did you see the news that Steve Jobs slammed Adobe.

"Regarding Adobe, Jobs reportedly said, "They are lazy. They have all this potential to do interesting things but they just refuse to do it."

Apple does not support Adobe's Flash animation software on the iPhone and its just-announced iPad multimedia tablet computer. The Flash Player is used for viewing videos on sites such as YouTube.com. In the past, Jobs has complained about Flash."

Adobe has wanted flash on the iphone since there was an iphone. apple is saying no.

Believe it or not voyagerboy, it does take TIME to get a patch or new software ready for release
