Google I/O 2010 event takes its place today in San Francisco and one of the headlines of the agenda, almost certainly, is going to be presentation of their smartphone operating system Android version 2.2 aka Froyo. The big thing about Android 2.2 is native Flash support. Compared with previous versions it runs Flash 10.1 plug-in four and a half times faster hence smoother. Now this, of course, comes into collision with Apple’s way of delivering web experience.At this point I’d like to say that I am a big fan of the idea of bringing in HTML5 as soon as possible. But then I am also aware of all the stumbling-stones related. Needless to say about Apple’s attitude towards Adobe.
So, for Android 2.2 it seems to be a win-win situation. While modern internet grips tight to Flash, Android is going to be the king of the hill. I mean if Apple has to compile an iPad-ready list of websites, they blew it.
