Besides putting weight behind HTML5 as a means of making native (not native-quality, but native) Android apps, Google should be working with Adobe (and RunRev and Unity3D and whoever) too. Frankly, Flash isn't the closed platform that should frighten them anymore.



Google is working with Adobe. For example, the flash player is now coming bundled with Chrome:

I also mentioned this above, but the CS5 release of the Flash IDE (due out in a couple days) is supposed to support deploying native iPhone/iPod/iPad apps. Given that Android phones already support some level of flash, this could make flash a pretty attractive option for developing cross platform apps.
