Andy Rubin, VP of Engineering at Google, stated that the upcoming Android 2.2 OS (called “Froyo”) will include Flash support in a recent interview with The New York Times. There is still no official launch date for Android 2.2, however many rumored dates are beginning to surface around the Web (sometime around May).
Devices with custom UI’s will most likely have delays in receiving the update (such as Droid Eris or Incredible), but it can be assumed that devices like the Motorola Droid and Nexus One will receive the update much quicker. No information has been released on whether older Android devices will be able to receive this updated OS, but there is always the hope of a custom ROM being leaked.
A leaked version of Android 2.2 was being reported across several major Android sites (via The Gadgets), however it appears this was a prank and users are being instructed not to download the file.
