The push, demonstrated at the Adobe Max conference, is designed to bring the full-featured Internet to mobile devices, said Chief Technology Officer Kevin Lynch. There is a “revolution for mobile happening,” he said.

Adobe demonstrated Flash 10 working on a phone from Nokia and running with the Android mobile phone software from Google. Up to now, only a limited version of Flash, Flash Lite, has worked on cell phones.

Lynch said the company is working hard to make sure Flash 10 works well on Apple’s popular iPhone, but that Apple has not yet decided whether to permit its inclusion.

“It will require Apple’s agreement,” he said. “Hopefully we will get it distributed.”

Lynch also said he hopes to see Flash 10 on the Blackberry.
