Apple ( NSDQ: AAPL ) may not want Flash on the iPhone and iPad, but Adobe is working with Greystripe to bring Flash ads to these devices. The partnership will allow developers to use Flash-authored ads to create rich-media advertisements in apps on the iPhone, iPad, Android and throughout the mobile web. Greystripe’s technology will translate the ads to HTML5 and this is important because most of the major advertising companies use tools that rely on Adobe’s web technology.

HTC has recently come out and said that if your device was made this year, there’s a good chance that it will see the Android 2.2 ( Froyo ) update in the future. Sadly, the MyTouch 3G was not made this year, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be getting some Froyo love! The screenshot above says that MyTouch 3G users will indeed see the Android 2.2 update “soon.” Similarly to the way the HTC Hero leapfrogged Android 1.6 and 2.0 to go straight to Android 2.2 OS, the MyTouch 3G will do the same.

We love when highly-visible companies like Verizon ( NYSE: VZ ) Wireless formally endorse legislation that promotes complete bans on texting while driving . With research showing that sending text messages while behind the wheel of a multi-ton car is as dangerous as driving drunk (even more so, in some cases), it’s become clear that texting and driving can kill .

We’ve been writing about Ford’s SYNC service for quite some time now, and who can blame us, their continual update to their service calls for some attention. Today is another one of those updates, but this by far has got to be one of the coolest updates yet. Ford announced today a new update to their SYNC service called “Send to SYNC” that will allow users to send destinations from Google ( NSDQ: GOOG ) Maps to their SYNC Traffic, Directions, & Information (TDI) App on their Ford vehicle.  The way it works is the user would look up directions in Google Maps, to which the option to send the directions to their Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicle will be available via a “send” menu on the site

There’s no doubt that the Sprint HTC EVO 4G has a huge problem with battery life – that’s one of the few “cons” we mentioned in our EVO 4G review . What with the most sought-after Android phone of 2010 boasting a 4.3-inch display, a 1Ghz processor, and an Android 2.1 OS that’s capable of running all your apps at the same time, it’s no surprise that the EVO struggles to stay powered for more than a full day-light cycle.

If you were hoping to download some naughty apps for your upcoming Windows Phone 7 smartphone, you’re out of luck because Microsoft ( NSDQ: MSFT ) will be taking Apple ( NSDQ: AAPL )’s lead and not allow sexually-suggestive apps in the Windows Marketplace for Mobile. This was just part of the new policies Microsoft laid out for its upcoming mobile platform, which is expected to hit by the end of the year

The LG Ally has been on our radar for a while. From it’s original LG Aloha codename roots , the LG Ally has really come into its own over the past couple months. It went from a fairly ugly prototype to a respectable mid-range Android phone worthy of an Iron Man advertising campaign.

The Garminfone just got really real. T-Mobile ( NYSE: DT ) today held a little media event to show off their new Garmin-Asus Garminfone and we had boots on the ground in New York City to put hands on the new GPS navigation-oriented Android phone from the Garmin-Asus duo that brought us the decidedly underwhelming Nuvifone line of half-baked nav phones. This time around, Garmin-Asus has ditched their Windows Mobile and the customized Linux OS that was used on the Nuvifone M20 and G60 , respectively

“People don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it” seems like a concept a little far-fetched for us techies bent on the hard specs, but TED Talks speaker Simon Sinek makes a good case for it, especially when applied to Apple ( NSDQ: AAPL ) and the iPhone . I kind of resent putting them on the same pedestal as Martin Luther King and the Wright Brothers, but the logic is largely sound. Basically, Sinek proposes that people buy products because they align themselves with a company’s cause for being, not because their products they produce are necessarily innovative or useful

Likely because the launch of a new iPhone is on the horizon, AT&T ( NYSE: T ) has been nice enough to bump up upgrade eligibility to June 21st, instead of November 21 as previously seen. Could this mean that AT&T just wants you to buy the latest iPhone, or does it signal that maybe Apple ( NSDQ: AAPL )’s handset will be sold on two carriers this year? With AT&T shortening the upgrade eligibility for users, it will be losing a lot  of money in subsidies but it still wants its customers to upgrade so they are locked into some sort of contract
