Earlier this month, an Adobe representative revealed in a post on the company’s official forums that the firm no longer plans to ship Flash 10.1 for Windows Mobile 6.5-based phones, instead opting to go directly for Windows Phone 7 Series. While Adobe had promised a version for WM6.5 just a few months ago, it now claims that the platform lacks necessary APIs. More likely the firm sees WM 6.5 as a dead-end platform, instead seeking to focus its efforts on its successor.
As for WinMo, we have made the tough decision to defer support for that platform until WinMo7. This is due to the fact that WinMo6.5 does not support some of the critical APIs that we need.
The Adobe rep also claimed that the HTC HD2 would be the first Windows Mobile phone to support Flash 10.1, suggesting that the phone will indeed receive an upgrade to Windows Phone 7 Series at some point:

Adobe: No Flash in Windows Mobile 7 at launch
Feb 14th
Earlier today, Adobe released a statement about Flash support in Microsoft’s as-yet-unannounced Windows Mobile 7:
Microsoft and Adobe are working closely together. While the newest version of Windows Phone won’t support Flash at initial availability, both companies are working to include a browser plug-in for the full Flash player in future versions of Windows Phone. More details will be shared at Microsoft MIX next month.
Microsoft has not yet announced Windows Mobile 7– that will likely happen tomorrow morning (February 15), so Adobe’s letting the cat out of the hat a bit early. More info at Phonescoop here.
