Along with Adobe CS5.5 comes a new section of the Adobe Developer Center for Flash Builder.

Adobe Flash Player 10.2 Update for Android
There is a new Flash Player update on the Android Market that supports hardware accelerated H.264 video on Android 3.0.1+ (Honeycomb) devices. This is a feature that has definitely been anticipated by users of Honeycomb tablets such as the Motorola Xoom, as it will improve both battery life and performance with playback of H.264 encoded video. This update also provides tighter browser and display integration with embedded Flash objects in HTML. Both of these features require an operating system update for Honeycomb.
For all other versions of Android, this update is simply bug fixes and security enhancements.
