Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen recently told Fox Business that Flash 10.1 should be coming to Android sometime in the second half of the year. We had expected to see 10.1 makes its way to Android phones sooner, but it seems Adobe will hold good on their word after failing to produce a beta of the platform running on Android at last year’s MAX Conference.

Straight from the horses mouth:

“We have a number of excited partners who are working aggressively with us to bring Flash to their devices, whether they be smartphones as well as handsets, and so companies like Google or RIM or Palm are going to be releasing versions of Flash on smartphones and tablets in the second half of the year.”

Android won’t be the only breed of smartphone to receiving full Flash support, and it is no surprise that Apple is missing from the list after becoming embroiled in a battle over Flash support on iPhone.

The bad news is Flash 10.1 won’t be getting any love on older handsets, as at a bare minimum phones taking advantage of Flash will require an ARM Cortex-A8 processor. Droid and Nexus One owners are covered, and this shouldn’t be an issue for upcoming handsets, but those who do not own one of these devices will be left without full Flash support.

Now that the cats out of the bag, there isn’t much more to be learned about the HTC Droid Incredible itself. We know that it is coming the 29th of April and can be pre-ordered on the 19th, and we know that it will be $199.99 with a new 2-year contract on Verizon. But now we have an exclusive look at the HTC Incredible internal launch package detailing the phones specs, a plethora of accessories, and a rather hilarious look at the target customer for the HTC Incredible.

Now if that just isn’t the spitting image of the type of people that frequent the HTC Incredible Forum over at AndroidForums, I don’t know what is!

It looks like future Incredible owners will have plenty of options in the accessories department, and while most shown are generic Bluetooth and headphone devices, there are quite a few case options and holsters that will be available for this phone. Also post-launch, users can expect a desktop charging cradle and extended battery to become available.

Go take a peak at the document for yourself and let us know how you feel about Verizon’s stereotyping of you, the beloved HTC Incredible fans!
