Even though the iPhone has been around for longer than Google’s Android, it appears that Android will get Adobe’s Flash technology first. Here’s the indications: First, the Android operating system is open, so just about anyone can take the appropriate steps to embed it. Second, a tier one global carrier appears to be doing just that.

The announcement is coming from Bsquare, which is the company embedding the technology into the handsets. The Bellevue, Wash.-based company said today it is porting Adobe’s Flash technology onto Google’s Android platform “for a global Tier 1 carrier.” In this case, Bsquare’s customer is not Adobe (NSDQ: ADBE) or Google (NSDQ: GOOG), but the unnamed carrier. A spokeswoman from the company wouldn’t budge on saying which operator it is, or when the phone will be launched. One can guess that the carrier may be T-Mobile since there are very few global carriers—especially ones that have adopted the Android platform so strongly. As for Flash on the iPhone, both Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) and Adobe have said they are working together on a solution, but no one knows when it will be ready.
