They missed their promise to deliver a beta for the Android and WebOS platforms in 2009. Android support is now projected for mid-2010. Since 2007 Apple has released 3 major versions of their iPhone OS, Google has announced, developed, and released a SmartPhone OS with 2 major revisions. Apple developed, announced, and will release the iPad before Adobe ships a modern mobile Flash for a large variety of devices. Linux &amp;#38; OSX support for Flash on the desktop is still subpar. If you think Flash is good or bad there are serious questions here about Adobe&apos;s ability to simply support this platform that is so widely relied on by developers.</text></comment>

Aviary&apos;s whole platform is a stunning example of how awesome Flash really can be, it&apos;s a suite of cutting edge design tools done in Flash and they haven&apos;t ported &lt;i&gt;those&lt;/i&gt; to the iPhone - check them out if you want, their apps are just amazing:

Addicting Games (owned by MTV) is a casual game site with somewhere around a million daily visitors and 1000s of games you can just click to play, not apps you need to find, maybe buy, download and install.&lt;p&gt;Even if that process is streamlined it doesn&apos;t scale to the extent Flash game sites do where at any time your investment in any game is just a click and countless other games are also just a click away.</text></comment>
