Adobe delighted on Monday the smartphone world, when it announced that Flash Player 10.1 will be available by the end of the year on BlackBerry, WinMo, Palm WebOS, Google Android, and Symbian phones.

But the millions of iPhone users out there are left fuming over the announcement because their beloved gadget isn’t showing any signs of Adobe Flash adoption.

Research In Motion, Microsoft, Palm, Google and Nokia will all embed the Flash Player 10.1 into their handsets by the end of this year or in early 2010, but Apple is ignoring the wishes of the masses of iPhone owners across the world and did not announce any plans to integrate Adobe Flash support onto its line of smartphones.

The HTC Hero opens up a whole world of multimedia content with support for Flash 9, intensifying the spotlight on Apple’s lack of cooperation with Adobe in bringing Flash to the iPhone.

Things are getting exciting in the mobile phone arena. First we get the beefed-up iPhone 3GS, and now we have a new Android phone. Up until now Android had no killer app to challenge the iPhone with. The newest HTC phone has Flash 9 capability with Flash 10 coming later this year, giving it a competitive edge.

People can now experience Web content and applications that couldn’t run on previous mobile phones. There are a whole slew of Flash games and other media that are suddenly available (Hulu anyone?). Close to 80 percent of all videos online use Adobe Flash. While this content is now available on the Hero, the iPhone can play YouTube videos but no other Flash media.

We don’t have Flash on the iPhone right now due to limitations of Apple’s iPhone SDK (Software Developers’ Kit) and its associated license. In other words, Apple has intentionally suppressed Flash. The reason for this is obvious: Apple wants control of which applications are permitted to run on the iPhone, and more importantly, a cut of the pie. Applications written in Flash would bypass the iPhone App Store.

Now Apple has reason to remove the restrictions that limit Adobe’s ability to develop Flash for the iPhone. I’m betting that once the Hero gains some momentum, Apple will make a move. While we’re at it, how about Silverlight for both platforms so I can use Netflix streaming (a boy can dream).

Those who were hoping to upgrade their G1’s will be out of luck for the time being. This release of Flash is integrated into the HTC Hero’s ROM and isn’t yet available for other Android devices.
