The same Adobe employee who mentioned on Adobe's official forums that Flash 10.1 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Flash101/) would be blowing right past Windows Mobile 6.5 made another notable comment, too: on Android, they'll be conveniently overlooking devices that aren't based on an ARMv7 core like a Snapdragon or OMAP3 -- in other words, pretty much every device of consequence except the Nexus One (http://www.engadget.com/tag/NexusOne/), HTC Desire (http://engadget.com/tag/htc,desire), Acer Liquid (http://engadget.com/tag/acer,liquid), Motorola Droid (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Droid/) / Milestone (http://engadget.com/tag/motorola,milestone), and Sony Ericsson X10 (http://engadget.com/tag/x10,sonyericsson). At this point, we're starting to get a little suspicious -- this is the same company that proudly demoed the Hero's custom-rolled Flash support (http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/adobe-demos-flash-on-the-htc-hero/) last year, after all, and there'll be no shortage of devices using Qualcomm's MSM7x27 line of chipsets in 2010 -- so we're holding out for some additional verification on this. Granted, forum mod Jochem van Dieten refers to the commenter specifically as an Adobe employee and he's got a Plaxo profile (http://www.plaxo.com/directory/profile/42951193528/99f18604/Antonio/Flores) identifying him as a product manager, but this is pretty wild news if accurate. We'll update you as we know more.Flash 10.1 snubbing non-ARMv7 Android devices, too?
