I'm pretty sure it will, considering I remember reading last year that they were working on getting Flash on WebOS-enabled devices. Now that HP owns Palm, however, I don't know what the outcome will be.

Never doubt a company that can install their plugin on over 98% personal computers. Even Microsoft which virtually owns the PC world cannot dare that; neither could Apple with their lame Quicktime.

I believe Adobe can, cos they've done it before.]]>Jun 11th 2010 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/adobe-expects-flash-on-250-million-smartphones-by-end-of-2012/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/adobe-expects-flash-on-250-million-smartphones-by-end-of-2012/Jun 11th 2010 6:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/adobe-expects-flash-on-250-million-smartphones-by-end-of-2012/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/adobe-expects-flash-on-250-million-smartphones-by-end-of-2012/

Well that's the thing, if Adobe shuts up, Flash will become irrelevant even faster on Smart Phones. They need to continue to blabber about how Flash plugin, with Flash banner animations that eats up load time and battery on the less powerful phones will be amazing in 2012, AMAZING! Only we've been hearing this for years.
