When Microsoft announced Windows Phone 7 Series, the company said that the new OS would not support Flash 10.1 at launch.
However, Adobe recently mentioned that Flash support will eventually come to WP7, and now Mike Chambers (Senior Product Manager for Developer Relations at Adobe) has reconfirmed this. According to him, Adobe and Microsoft are “working closely together” to bring to Flash Player 10.1 to Internet Explorer Mobile on Windows Phone 7 Series devices.
Unfortunately, there’s no mention on when exactly Windows Phone 7 will get Flash support.
Of course, we first have to wait for Microsoft to actually launch WP 7 – the first devices are expected to be available in late 2010 (and the LG Panther is probably one of them).

Adobe has decided not to provide Flash 10.1 support for Windows Mobile 6.5, because the OS “does not support some of the critical APIs” needed.
However, Adobe says it will wait until Windows Phone 7 Series is launched and then provide Flash support for Microsoft’s OS.
Interestingly, Adobe mentions that the first Windows Mobile phone to get Flash support is the HTC HD2 – which can only mean the smartphone will be, at some point, upgraded to Windows Phone 7, as rumored more than once until now. You can read more at the Adobe Forums here.
As further evidence for HD2’s possible upgrade, Microsoft says in a tweet that WM 6.5 to WP7 upgrades are “really for the hardware partners to think about.” Which means Microsoft has nothing against upgrading Windows Mobile 6.5 phones to Windows Phone 7, as long as we’re talking about devices that meet the WP7 minimum specs requirements.
As for Android, the first smartphones to get Flash support (in mid 2010) are the Motorola Droid / Milestone and the Google Nexus One. All Android smartphones that meet Adobe’s software and hardware requirements will be supported (they probably need to run Android 2.1 or a newer version).

For those Nexus One users who eagerly waiting for the Flash 10.1 support, SlashGear has spotted a Nexus One demo unit running with Flash 10.1 support at the Mobile World Congress event. The Flash 10.1 plugin for the Android web browser is not fully completed though. It is now done without a proper hardware acceleration support. SlashGear was told that, “you won’t get the same frame-rates and you don’t get the power saving.” due to the lack of hardware acceleration.
With the Flash support you can play flash video, flash games directly with your Android web browser. The video playback in the demonstration unit is certainly not smooth, but at least you see a working unit in progress. Check out the demonstration below:
