Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen has issued a statement to Fox News that Flash 10.1 will become available for Android, WebOS, and Blackberry. Based on the statement, the application support is expected to surface for these devices in the second half of 2010. Apple still refuses to work with Adobe to bring flash enabled support to any of their devices including the newly released iPad. Narayen touched briefly on Apple's lack of participation mentioning that Apple is holding out on support for their devices not based of technology, but as a business decision that will hurt consumers. He remains confident that consumers will vote for the experience that they prefer with their wallets.

A Security research firm Intrepidus will be releasing a report next week that claims Palm's newest operating system WebOS has a large security flaw built into its core. The security flaw could allow the device to be controlled remotely. The remote control capabilities could allow the phone to be dialed remotely, and even allow information to be gleaned from the device. According to Intrepidus Aaron Higbee "Palm released this WebOS with prior knowledge that these web app vulnerabilities existed."
Additional information has been released this week from Elecation Partners investor Roger McNamee. According to McNamee WebOS will download all the maps that you will need for the entire day based on your calendar. Making use of GPS, Calendar, and Clock funtionality built into the phone, the new Palm software will allow your phone to know when you are late, or on time. In the event you are late, the phone can make a phone call, or even send an email on your behalf. This is a very interesting use of the GPS information, and I am certainly looking forward to this.
