[Video] Flash on the Droid!

Jobs said that the iphone wont get flash

Adobe Air is coded/designed in the Flash application, it can but does not necessarily include Flash itself. It is more of a wrapping code to make things work cross-platform. Not quite that simple, but the easiest way to put it.

Correct -- Flash is not included in 2.1.

Adobe releases Flash Player 10.1 Release Candidate

There's still a ways to go before a final, proper release, but Adobe has now upgraded its once beta Flash Player 10.1 to Release Candidate status, and introduced a host of fixes and improvements in the process. From the looks of it, there's nothing too radical in terms of changes from previous betas, but the RC does promise improved stability and performance, and fixes for a range of video playback problems with different graphics cards (which may or may not also involve driver updates). Hit up the PDF link below for the complete release notes, and grab the RC yourself for Windows, Mac or Linux straight from Adobe Labs.​

Here is a better video showing flash on both the iphone and droid. I wish they would just get a solid date to release flash.



One good thing is these vids were released on the 1st, so there is some hope they will be releasing flash soon.

Flash Player 10.1 Release Candidate Release Notes

explanation of flash on smart phones included in the pdf

Im wondering a simple question with a not so simple answer..

People are taking bits and parts from other ROMS (Hero, Nexus etc) and stripping them over for the droid.. why hasnt anybody simply done the browser as that is where the flash handlers are stuffed. Then we could just dump the flashplayer.apk into system/apps and be good till a final release is done.

**Im also noting that the version included on the afore mentioned ROMS is actually flashplayer LITE BUT I have seen them work with Hulu and its about the most picky site I have seen to date.

A new Flash Player 10.1 release candidate has been released just in the passed few days - just for PCs and netbooks. But since they've said that 10.1 is the version that will run on smart phones, it's another small step in the right direction.

Also, in the past week they've released a glitzy ad about adobe flash, and it includes a few shots of the (unbranded) droid. The thing that's most interesting is this is the first droid/flash demos that I've seen that include full-screen video. YouTube - FlashPlatform's Channel

Call it progress.

Adobe says iPhone / iPad adoption and 'alternative technologies' (cough, HTML5) could harm its business -- Engadget
Adobe says iPhone / iPad adoption and 'alternative technologies' (cough, HTML5) could harm its business

Adobe might continue to crow about Flash and its importance on both the desktop and mobile devices, but there's no lying to investors, and the company is pretty blunt about the threat of the iPhone and iPad in the end-of-quarter Form 10-Q it just filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission: it flatly says that "to the extent new releases of operating systems or other third-party products, platforms or devices, such as the Apple iPhone or iPad, make it more difficult for our products to perform, and our customers are persuaded to use alternative technologies, our business could be harmed."

Now, Adobe has to make doom-and-gloom statements in its SEC filings -- it also says that slowing PC sales or a failure to keep up with desktop OS development could harm its business -- but the timing is crazy here, since just yesterday Apple changed the iPhone OS 4 SDK agreement to block devs from using the upcoming Flash CS5 iPhone cross-compiler to build iPhone apps. What's more, Apple's also using HTML5 for its new iAd platform, which could potentially undo Flash's stranglehold on online advertising as well. Yeah, we'd say all that plus the recent push for HTML5 video across the web -- and from Microsoft -- could harm Adobe's business just a little. Better hope that final version of Flash Player 10.1 is everything we'd hoped and dreamed of, because Adobe's going to have to make a real stand here.

Here's a video of a bunch of mobile CEOs' talking about the importance of Flash and adobe air. Motorola CEO is at 1:45. Found it interesting.
