Adobe Flash 10.2 for Android available today, improves performance, adds hardware acceleration for Honeycomb

Adobe Flash Player 10.2 will land in the Android Market today, bringing with it modest performance improvements for Android 2.2 and 2.3, and hardware acceleration for 3.0. Flash 10.2 is also the first version of Flash to work on the Motorola Xoom tablet.

Engadget says that they "saw a slight but noticeable boost in framerate when playing a YouTube trailer at 480p" on their Droid 2, and that the same videos were "perfectly smooth" on their Motorola Xoom tablet. Engadget were playing with a beta version of Flash 10.2, however, so performance might be further improved by the time it hits the Market later today.

Other than some further performance and usability improvements for Android 3.0, there doesn't seem to be much else of note in Flash 10.2.
