Re: More good news for Android platform
said by TKJunkMail  :And the Android platform gets Flash 10 capability in the fall. That puts Hulu and some other online video platforms in play for the Android phones. » www.talkandroid.com/1308-adobe-f···android/The new Flash player will support Android, Nokia Symbian, Palm Web OS, and Windows Mobile powered devices Makes these phones more competitive with Flash capability. Does anyone know if the iPhone gets Flash anytime this year or next? It's perpetually "coming soon." Personally, I think Apple would rather not open up Flash and would rather have everything app based. I actually agree with them as so far, native apps provide a much better experience than Flash.
Hulu is developing an app and Joost already has one. |

Much like their choice to not include MMS, and to not code the landscape keyboard to work on ALL apps, you can always count on Apple to tout a shortcoming as some sort of roundabout "feature".

I agree, the promise of the G1 was Flash, and it's been almost a full year since release and still no (official) flash capability, though there is an unofficial Flash 8 .apk out there.
Though when I really think about the Flash experience, I really don't want it on my mobile - it's going to kill my G1's 1350 mah battery, and as mentioned, the performance of Flash versus the alternatives is very poor.

You want 50 different apps out there for each popular website that offers flash video? Sure hulu is probably the biggest flash movie/tv site, but theres tons of websites out their that offer good content that is in flash.. of course some of them I cant name here  |
