Galaxy Nexus to Get Adobe Flash 11.1 and Adobe Air 3.1 During December

Surely it was disappointing to discover that the Google latest and greatest has no Flash support. But it was even more shocking, although a bit expected, to learn that Adobe is abandoning the mobile Flash in favor of HTML5.

Anyway, Adobe has previously stated that it will add support for the Galaxy Nexus in its Android Flash runtimes and now we know when this December. 

Official Statement

We have received some questions regarding support for Adobe Flash Player 11.1 and AIR 3.1 on the Galaxy Nexus. To be clear, the Galaxy Nexus does not initially support Adobe Flash Player 11.1 and AIR 3.1. Devices and software updates from our partners which introduce new technologies are being developed on varied schedules that are different from our own, which means that the Adobe runtimes may not always be optimized or supported on devices until a subsequent release. We will provide a minor update to the runtimes to support the Galaxy Nexus in December.
