US based BSquare Corporation has expressed interest to bring full version Adobe Flash technology to the Google Android operating system. Currently none of the mobile operating systems has this functionality. If Android manages to incorporate this technology, it would give the new mobile OS a leg up on Microsoft Windows Mobile and the Apple iPhone. The Symbian and Windows Mobile platform use Flash Lite right at present and Apple iPhone does not have Flash, although Adobe has announced plans to bring Flash to the BlackBerry phones. Adobe Flash technology currently ships on more than 800 million devices, and is used to build video and rich-media applications. The search engine giant Google introduced the Android mobile OS, which is based on Linux, at the Open Handset Alliance in November 2007, a consortium devoted to advancing open standards on mobile devices. In September 2008, T-Mobile became the first carrier to release an Android-based smartphone, the G1 by HTC. A G2 is said to be at production level in the labs, and at the 2009 Mobile World Congress, HTC announced plans to release three more versions of the HTC Magic, another smartphone powered by Android. Samsung and Motorola also announced intentions of releasing handsets with the Android OS.
