The news from bsquare keeps coming on the Android front, last month they announced that they will deliver a port of Flash for Android devices. To set the record straight that announcement related to Adobe Mobile Client, a Flash Player designed for user interfaces.
Yesterday their announcement was for bringing Flash Lite 3.1.7 to a new Dell Mini Inspiron range of devices. It’s not clear from their announcement exactly what they’ll be using it for but I’d guess Web Browsing, which is very exciting.
For those who don’t know, the features between Flash Lite 3.0 and Flash Lite 3.1 are all to enable better web browsing on devices. We added features like FlashVars support, html text and img tag support among others covering right up to Flash 9 with AS2 only. When we shipped that release we could render 92% of all web content, giving us extra time to enable AS3 support on devices.
bsquare a number of partners in the mobile and consumer electronics space, we really need their help in porting the Flash Platform and driving demand for solutions in unexpected places!
Anyone own the Yacht, Airbus inflight entertainment system or Jaguar car with Flash Lite?

I think the latest press release was premature, cause they pulled it … but it’s already spread like wildfire within the Android and Flash communities.
