In newly released footage, Adobe's Adrian Ludwig showcases Flash Player 10.1 running well on the Droid with the Android 2.0 software.

When compared to the Nexus One and Android 2.1, the Droid's Flash video playback does seem to stutter a little bit more than the N1, whether this is down to the 2.0 software remains to be seen.

Flash Player 10.1 is expected to be released for the Google Nexus One in the first half of 2010

According to Pocket-lint, HTC's CEO Peter Chou confirmed to them that, "HTC sense will be available on some other existing devices."

We have it on good authority that the Skype Lite software will be uploaded to the Android Market on Thursday morning although it is not known how long it will take to appear available for download.

Skype Lite will also be available on Thursday to around 100 other handset models including Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Nokia, LG, and Samsung phones.

Stay tuned for more details as soon as we get them!

Edit: Skype Lite is now available to download from the Android Market, although on closer inspection it appears that the application uses network call allowances for the Skype calls. The data plan is used for messaging only.

The software, called VirusGuard, will help to protect the Android powered devices from viruses, spyware, and malware. VirusGuard will have the ability to scan the handset along with memory cards searching for any malicious content.

"Android's open source architecture is fantastic because it allows anyone to develop new applications for the phones running on this system," SMobile president Neil Book said in a statement. "For SMobile, we believe that creating a virus protection solution is necessary to help thwart the potential for malware attacks that are coming and those that exist today."

As you might have expected VirusGuard is not a free application and therefore won't be available from the Android Market until 2009. The software can be purchased from SMobile's Web site or through Handango priced at $4.99.
