The latest version of Google's mobile platform, Android 4.0 or Ice Cream Sandwich, lacks a Flash player, and there's currently no option to download it from the Android Market.

Since Adobe recently said it has stopped the development of Flash Mobile Player, this could mean that Ice Cream Sandwich is never getting its Flash player, but according to Google, this is just a short-term delay.

“Flash hasn’t been released for ICS yet so as far as we know, Adobe will support Flash for ICS,” said Google in a statement.

There's no info on when, exactly, Flash is coming to Ice Cream Sandwich devices. It is likely, however, that Android 4.0 will be the last version of that operating system to feature the Flash Mobile Player.
