Adobe promises Flash Player 10.2 for Honeycomb tablets 'in a few weeks,'

[wraggster]

We found out yesterday that Motorola's Xoom would be shippingsans Flash support (http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/21/motorola-xoom-will-ship-without-flash-support-on-february-24th/) on Verizon Wireless, and while Big Red claimed that an update would be doled out this spring, the folks at Adobe are pointing (http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/14/adobe-says-flash-10-2-coming-to-handsets-soon-offers-roundabout/) to a far more specific time frame. In a new post over at the Flash Platform Blog, Adobe has confirmed that "Flash Player 10.2 [will be] pre-installed on some tablets and as an OTA download on others within a few weeks of Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) devices becoming available, the first of which is expected to be the Motorola Xoom." We're guessing that the company's going public with a statement like this to fend off fears that the Xoom may be waiting an eternity for Flash, in essence removing a bit of fear from hesitant early adopters. Either way, it's excellent news for those eying a Honeycomb tablet of any flavor, and we're going to take the liberty of taking "a few weeks" to mean "a fortnight." Cool, Adobe?
