It was only expected that this would happen. Google announced they’ll be joining the Open Screen Project. It’s only normal considering the places where Flash is being used, such as Youtube, Google Site Search and Web Search, not to mention Google Maps.

From the Official Google Blog:

We’re excited to be joining Adobe’s Open Screen Project, an initiative established a year and a half ago to help developers more easily design content for the web across multiple screens using the Flash Platform. We’ve always believed that open platforms lead to greater innovation on the web and we see participating in the Open Screen Project as another step in that direction.
