Many smartphones have access to Flash Player.
Many phone platforms have access to Adobe's Flash Player for watching Flash animations, playing games and navigating Flash websites. Not all phones have the ability to run Flash, and you need to download and install the player before running Flash applications on some devices. While these devices run Flash, performance limitations may cause some Flash content to display incorrectly or run slowly when compared to computer playback. Some phones, such as the iPhone, do not support Flash.
Android Phones
Adobe makes the Flash Player available as a free download for Android Phones via the Android Market. It will only operate on Android devices running version 2.2 of the operating system and newer. Compatible phones include the Droid line of devices, the Samsung Nexus, HTC Evo and LG Optimus. Flash runs as a part of the Android Web browser rather than as a separate application.
WebOS Phones
WebOS 2.0 introduced Flash to the operating system. Devices such as the Palm Pre 2 come with the Flash Player built in, working as a part of the system's Web browser. Adobe currently offers no way of installing Flash on phones that do not come equipped with the player pre-installed.
Windows Mobile Phones
Adobe offers a specialized version of the Flash Player for use on Windows Mobile and PocketPC smartphones. It runs on Windows Mobile 5 and newer as well as Pocket PC 2003. Compatible devices include HP's iPAQ PDAs, the Palm Treo, Startronics Superphone and HP Mobile Messenger. To install Flash on a Windows Mobile phone, download the installation CAB file from Adobe's website and run it directly on the mobile device. Note that the software does not function on Windows Phone 7 systems.
Incompatible Phones
As of early 2011, several smartphone platforms lack Flash support and have no official method of running Flash applications. iPhones have no Flash player, although Adobe does allow Flash developers to release Flash programs in iOS App form for separate release. Windows Phone 7 also lacks Flash, but Adobe has announced plans to release the Player for Microsoft's OS in the future. Adobe additionally plans a Flash Player for BlackBerry devices.
