Droid X Flash Support Could Be Months Away

Verizon Wireless plans to start selling Droid X next month,  launching the latest phone from Motorola Inc based on Google Inc's  Android software.
The Motorola Droid X is arriving July 15, but it won't bring one of its flagship features along with it.

Adobe's Flash 10.1 requires version 2.2 of the Android OS, and that just won't be ready for the Droid's launch. Instead, it will be part of an upgrade later this summer. Here's Verizon's official word on the issue:

"DROID X will ship with Android 2.1 and consumers can expect to receive an upgrade to Android 2.2 in late summer via an over-the-air upgrade. We work closely with Google™ and our carrier partners to ensure a seamless device experience. Android 2.2 and Adobe Flash Player 10.1 Beta were announced in May, and DROID X will receive an over-the-air upgrade to Android 2.2 late this summer, once we have fully tested it to ensure an optimized experience."

The good news is, original Motorola Droid owners will also get a 2.2 update with Flash at the same time, execs said at the Droid X launch. We're checking to see if there's any word on when the HTC Droid Incredible, Verizon's other top smartphone, will get the upgrades.
