From Ziggytek: It has been a long and painful journey, but Adobe has finally given Flash 10.1 to its mobile platform partners using the following operating systems: “Android, BlackBerry, webOS, Windows Phone 7 Series, LiMo, MeeGo and Symbian.” Flash 10.1 on Android requires 2.2 FroYo, which is unofficially available for Google’s Nexus One and will be run on many Android smartphones by Q4 of this year.

From Ziggytek: While you recover from this shocking turn of events, allow the headline to sink in. The WeTab (formerly aka WePad) is going to ship three months later than previously promised. I feel for the folks who pre-ordered it, at one point making neofonie’s tablet Amazon’s top seller. More »
