The Motorola Xoom Android tablet was expected to ship with Adobe's Flash browser plug-in. Nope. No Flash.

On the <a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/04/08/a-change-at-apple-causes-trouble-for-adobe/" rel="nofollow">NYTimes Bits Blog</a>, Nick Bilton reported a change in the developer agreement for applications developers. <blockquote> Under the heading “APIs and Functionality,” a paragraph states that Apple will not allow applications onto the iPad and iPhone unless they are built using Apple’s propriety software. </blockquote> But wait!

In another <a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/04/12/a-google-tablet-could-be-good-news-for-adobe/" rel="nofollow">Bits</a> posting by Nick Bilton, partygoers reported that Eric Schmidt of Google spoke about a new device that would exclusively run the Android operation system and it will run Adobe Flash content and games.
