Adobe giving away Android phones to employees

In just the next step in the ongoing battle between Adobe and Apple, the former company has decided to give away free smartphones running the Android operating system to its employees.

Although the company hasn't decided on which phone to give away, it is expected it will begin distributing the high-end HTC Incredible.



Adobe additionally announced that it will demo a version of Flash for Android in May, at the Google I/O conference.

The point of the free phones, (which are not mandatory) is a way to give employees more time to practice using Android, as well as Flash Player 10.1.

Google also said that all attendees of the I/O conference will be given either a Motorola Droid or a Nexus One.

  Adobe treats their employees well. Each employee becomes a member of quality control team. Each employee becomes a salesperson for the product. This is an excellant way to get Adobe employees envolved with the success of the company.
