One of the huge announcements to come out of Adobe MAX 2009 is the coming availability of Flash Player 10.1 for mobile devices such as BlackBerry, Palm's WebOS, Android, and Windows Mobile, the only handset not mentioned is the Apple iPhone, it is basically the black sheep that will only get a dumb down version a little while after. One thing everyone is scared about when it comes to Flash on mobile devices is the fast battery drainage, well fret not thy self, Adobe has assured us that Flash 10.1 for mobile devices has been optimized in a way that should conserve battery life and also keep system resources to a minimum....yay.

With Flash 10.1 for mobile devices, users won't be restricted to using the physical keypad, if you have a touchscreen handset then be sure that Adobe has made sure Flash 10.1 will make full use of it.

"With Flash Player moving to new mobile platforms, users will be able to experience virtually all Flash technology based Web content and applications wherever they are," said David Wadhwani, general manager and vice president, Platform Business Unit at Adobe. "We are excited about the broad collaboration of close to 50 industry leaders in the Open Screen Project and the ongoing collaboration with 19 out of the top 20 handset manufacturers worldwide. It will be great to see first devices ship with full Flash Player in the first half of next year."
