Interestingly, it will only be initially available for Linux systems. In the FAQ on the labs.adobe.com, Adobe state that "Release of this alpha version of 64-bit Flash Player on Linux is the first step in delivering upon Adobe’s commitment to make Flash Player native 64-bit across platforms. We chose Linux as our initial platform in response to numerous requests in our public Flash Player bug and issue management system". They stated that the final 64-bit version would be released for Linux, Mac and Windows systems simultaneously. Adobe is also working to develop a version of the Flash Player to operate on mobile devices. Chief Technology Officer, Kevin Lynch demonstrated Flash working on Symbian, Windows Mobile and Google's Android mobile phone platforms. Whilst Adobe have previously had Flash Players for mobile devices, they were cut down versions. In contrast, this is the full Flash Player. Lynch stated that Adobe are still working with Apple to get Flash available on the iPhone.
