Adobe Flash Player will be pre-installed on Android 3.0 tablets
SOFTWARE DEVELOPER Adobe has announced that some tablets running Android 3.0 Honeycomb will have Flash Player 10.2 pre-installed, while others will receive over-the-air updates.
Adobe's Flash Player has been a major selling point for Android device makers trying to differentiate themselves from Apple. Adobe says it has been working with tablet manufacturers such as Motorola to optimise Flash for tablets, although the company won't say just what optimisations have been made.
It seems Motorola's much lauded Xoom tablet will be the first to get Flash Player 10.2, allowing users to get "a full web experience", according to Adobe. The firm is in buoyant mood, upping its estimate of the number of Flash enabled devices to 132 million by the end of 2011.
The decision to pre-install Flash Player onto some tablets should mean users not having to faff around with Android Market to load what has become one of the most popular downloads on the app store. It should also give tablet manufacturers a leg up among less tech savvy users who want minimal setup out of the box, something that Apple has prided itself on providing.
Tablet manufacturers were queuing up to show their latest wares at last week's Mobile World Congress, with Motorola's Xoom, Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 and HP's Touchpad garnering the most press. All three of those devices run Adobe's Flash Player, though given Adobe's very public backing of Android, it will be interesting to see if there is differences in performance and support between Android and WebOS.
It seems that as the number of tablet devices grows, Apple's pig-headed decision not to support Flash might leave it increasingly isolated as both hardware manufacturers and users demand Adobe's software. µ

I tested the RIM playbook and visited many sites with Flash video, animations and other interactive swf files. It worked flawlessly. More and more tablets are coming to the market with Flash pre-installed. As a teacher I can access myriads of educational Flash files already in existence and my students and I make games and simple programs in Flash. Even Windows based Tablet PCs are in the market now and more will come soon (e.g., ASUS Eee Slate EP121) that give you the tablet experience but the full functionality of a laptop and of course a full browser of your choice with Flash. I am a former Mac user, but I think consumers will “win” when they have more choices and there is more competition in the tablet market. With all due respect, Apple fans should stop their Flash bashing and instead go and play with their iPads. I don’t understand why as a consumer they feel so threatened by choice and competition.
Wait until people actually try it and you will see why Apple didnt include it.
flash based web pages and games are not design to be used using touch, they are very very hard to to interface with and games are very slow
My Dell Streak running Android 2.2 came with Flash out of the box.
