The vague time reference had people fearing flash wouldn't be available until the end of the season, but a posting on Adobe's blog points to a slightly earlier release. Verizon, which is putting it on sale, previously said Flash would be available in "spring 2011." Motorola's Xoom tablet will launch on Thursday as the first to run the software, but initial versions won't come with flash support. Honeycomb is the first version of Android designed for tablet PCs and is eagerly anticipated.

Adobe says Flash support for tablets based on Google's upcoming "Honeycomb" version of the Android operating system will be available "within a few weeks".
