Earlier this year in August, Huawei first lifted the covers off its long-rumored operating system — Harmony OS. At the time, the company showcased the new microkernel-based OS running on an Honor Vision TV, claiming better performance and improved security. At the time, the company also stated that Harmony OS wouldn’t make it to smartphones and tablets from Huawei or Honor and that Android would remain the standard on these devices. It seems like Huawei wants to maintain its stand on that matter as it plans to roll out Harmony OS to more products next year.
According to a recent report from Reuters, a spokesperson from Huawei has revealed that the company plans to roll out Harmony OS to more products in its lineup next year. However, the company still doesn’t have any plans to ship the OS on its phones, tablets, or computers. The company’s plans were first reported by the government-backed Shenzhen Special Zone Daily newspaper. The newspaper cited comments made by Wang Vhenglu, president of the Huawei consumer business group’s software division at a store event held in Shenzhen. Wang reiterated the company’s stance on Harmony OS at the event and noted that Huawei would prefer Android over its own Harmony OS on phones and tablets.
It’s worth noting that Huawei launched Harmony OS as an alternative to Google’s Android following trade restrictions imposed on the company by the United States. The trade restrictions threaten to cut the company’s access to technology made by US firms, which is why it first rolled out Harmony OS. While the company doesn’t plan on shipping the OS on its phones and tablets, Harmony OS is likely to make an appearance on other smart devices like smartwatches, speakers, and other appliances next year.

Google (NSDQ: GOOG)'s Android platform soon will be getting support for Flash.
Adobe (NSDQ: ADBE)'s Flash is a near-ubiquitous Web technology that's prominently used on popular sites like YouTube and Hulu, but it's generally considered too resource intensive to work well on mobile devices and smartphones. Adobe does have a Flash Lite product for phones, but it's not as robust as the full version. The software company Bsquare said it would be porting the technology to Google's mobile platform.
"Integrating Adobe Flash technology with the functionality of Google's Android platform will afford consumers the rich content and unprecedented applications they demand and is key to achieving success for our OEM and ODM customers," Bsquare CEO Brian Crowley said in a statement. "We believe that our value-added products and services can improve the Android experience for users and help our customers get their devices to market faster."
The move could give Google's Android platform a significant leg up on rival Apple and its iPhone platform. While iPhone users tend to surf the Web more than any other phone user, the lack of Flash support is still a sticking point with some users. Many industry watchers think it's a business issue rather than a technological one: Apple may not want to be tied to another company's proprietary technology, even if it's one as widely used as Flash.
After much public back and forth, it looks like Apple may go another route as the iPhone 3.0 software will enable developers to stream video to iPhones using HTML5. Apple will likely be by itself if it ignores Flash, as Adobe said it would soon bring the full version to major mobile platforms like Windows Mobile, Symbian, and Palm's new webOS.
So who can predict how close it is coming to us?

im pretty sure this is only what most have already known.
I've always heard Q4 09, not because of Android, but b/c of Flash's estimated time to release Flash 10(i think?), which will support the mobile platforms.
"Soon" is a very open-ended term. Until I actually see that it's out, I'll consider it "vaporware."

This could end up changing the mobile phone market as we know it. Just proves that Apple is evil.
Apple launches sneak attack on smartphone world with ARM bid
Apple has never played well with others, and is well known for their use of proprietary technology to lock in customers and vendors.
Despite opening their own chip design company, it must have rankled to still have to rely on Cambridge-based ARM Holdings for the basic design of their chips.
Given their $40 billion cash hoard however Apple does not have to put up with the situation for long.
Rumours are currently going round in the markets that Apple is looking to buy the chip technology company for a cool $8 billion, seeing the ARM’s share price shoot up 8.1p to 251.1p, and more than five million shares changed hands by midday.
“A deal would make a lot of sense for Apple,” said one trader. “That way, they could stop ARM’s technology from ending up in everyone else’s computers and gadgets.”
ARM is somewhat of standard, with their chip design being widely licensed by many companies, including Qualcomm, Samsung and Marvell and all current generation smartphone operating systems being tied to the chip design. If Apple were to stop making available further design improvements to others it could leave other smartphone makers scrambling for an alternative which no longer exists.

Event started around 2 PM China time (11.30 AM India Time) and the fans were excited to the fullest. We met fans from many colleges, universities and many other people at the Hotel and the event hall.
Registration counter at the event- Only for media and few fans as almost all fans were already enrolled in hotel.
Small bunch of people (less than 2% of what we had in actual launch hall)
Just before the event was started....empty chairs but there were none after all fans and media person entered. We had massive crowd, fans and media persons during the launch and was a mega hit.
Some gathering but only 1/3rd here as event was not yet started (panorama effect)
Entire event was presented and Phone was launched by Honor Global President, Mr. George Zhao.
Phone design and everything is just awesome but many of you may feel the cost of the phone is little bit on higher side but trust me that justify the phone design and features.
Phone runs on Android 6.0 out of the box with screen resolution of 1440X2560 and 5.2 inch display, powered by Octa core HiSilicon Kirin 950 processor. Phone is packed with a massive 4 GB RAM coupled with 64 GB internal memory. Phone display looks stunning and design is somewhat reworked and looks really stylish. Phone feels extremely premium with glossy finish and is curvy so fits the palm well and is very sleek.
Phone also supports fast charging with USB type C port.
Phone is priced at 3699 RMB and is available on Tmall.com, vmall.com JD.com and suning.com
NFC has become a standard feature in mid-range and high-end smartphones, but it may sound more like a cool novelty than something you'd actually use. However, the more you learn about NFC, the more you'll be drawn to using it in daily life.
That realization has inspired me to write a bit on NFC, to provide some key background information — what it is, where it comes from, how it works, and how it can be used, etc. — hopefully you'll find it useful when "integrating" NFC into your life.
Let's start with the obvious: What is the origin of NFC? What does it do? Where can you find it?
（1） How did NFC come to be?
NFC's roots date back to 2003, when Phillips and Sony were in the midst of planning a wireless communication solution based on contactless card technology. After three months of closed-door R&D, the two companies unveiled their achievement for the world: Near Field Communication (NFC), which was compatible with the ISO 14443 contactless card standard.

To better promote and popularize NFC, the two electronics giants brought Nokia into the fold in 2004 and established a non-profit organization, the NFC Forum, to formulate technical specifications and industry standards which would ensure that the new service could work properly on a wide range of different devices. The NFC Forum now includes hundreds of members, including LG, Samsung, Intel and Huawei.
（2） What does NFC do?
NFC, or Near Field Communication, is a wireless communication/connectivity technology that works over short distances of less than 10 cm. To incorporate NFC functionality, smartphones come with a built-in NFC module that consists of a contactless front-end unit, radio frequency (RF) antenna(s) and a security area.
Due to NFC's short-range nature, this feature is most suitable for private face-to-face data exchanges and communications, such as digital payments and identify authentication. The graph below provides a good sense of how NFC can be used to provide a bunch of common daily services.
（3） Which phones support NFC?
NFC is available on most mid-range and high-end smartphones. The Chinese smartphone e-brand Honor, for example, has released a slew of premium models — the Honor 20/Honor 10 series and View 20/View 10 series, all of which offer NFC. That's to be expected. But what's particularly noteworthy is that the brand's soon-to-be-released entry-level model, Honor 9A (retailing at just €149 EUR), is rumored to also feature NFC — that's a highly encouraging development, and a sign that NFC has truly gone mainstream!
