> So when exactly can you expect for Flash to hit your Android phone? Brimelow says no specific dates are being disclosed just yet. Adobe’s CEO, however, divulged some general details during [a recent interview](http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/4148785/adobe-ceo-on-creative-suite-5-and-apple) with the Fox Business Network.

> This is a change from Adobe’s previous target launch date for Flash on Android; the company had originally said the technology would become available [in the first half of 2010](http://www.pcworld.com/article/189338/adobe_shows_flash_and_air_apps_for_google_android.html).

In all the kerfuffle about the Adobe/Apple Flash wars, the press and Adobe like to overlook the fact that Flash isn’t even a working product that Apple COULD put on the iPhone if it wanted to. Here is Adobe, announcing that Flash 10.1 mobile is about to start its beta phase, and won’t be released on the Android platform until the SECOND HALF OF THIS YEAR.
That’s a year behind schedule, for those keeping score.
Adobe loves playing victim, and the press loves making Apple the big, bad, evil monopoly. Never mind that none of this resembles reality.
