Sprint has just announced that a version of the Google Nexus One will be available for use on its network, just as one is planned for Verizon’s network. The phone will be sold directly by Google at Google.com/phone, though pricing and availability information have not yet been released.

Naturally, he also spoke of more models such as a budget version, which always seem to follow halfhearted, noncommittal comments about future products. The original question was also brought up in a separate conversation with Andy Rubin, who stated something along the same lines of the Nexus One being the first in a line of ever improving models. Again, this seems to be a given that …
Last week we showed you a video from Adobe showcasing Flash 10.1 running on the Nexus One. Since then, another video has surfaced, but this time Adrian Ludwig from Adobe is showing Flash 10.1 running on the Motorola Droid with 2.0 software. It’s been unclear whether a device would need to upgrade to 2.1 before being able to play Flash 10.1 but this video answers any questions regarding that.
