While in the middle of fixing a large security deficit on its desktop software, Adobe has been talking about its future in the mobile industry. According to Adobe, Flash Player will be featured in a quarter billion handsets by the end fo 2012, including 53 percent of all the smartphones shipped that year. Those are pretty confident words for a company that has yet to ship Flash Player 10.1 in even one of the many new handsets out in the market at the moment, but we are reminded that Android 2.2's leading position will be quickly followed by BlackBerry OS, Symbian, webOS, and Windows Phone 7 supporting the full Flash experience. Whether all the platforms wil allow the company to obtain enough momentum to produce an install base of 250 million, we aren't sure. What we do know is that many users and developers want Flash and have been trying to get it in multiple ways, such as Smokescreen and Flash In A Pinch. Lets see how things pan out in the future and whether or not Adobe lives up to its expected quota.
