flash player on android

[G.Armour]

At first I was getting messages that flash was comingto android 2.0 in the first half of 2010 but now it says its not available. Is it coming or not?

You won't be able to get it until 2.1 is available I believe. There's definitely a few threads on this already though.

 

[JediJesus]

Its coming. We still have 5 months left of the first half.

We recently saw a demo running on the Droid so its getting closer.

Were all hoping for it to be available with the upcoming update on the 22 of Jan, but no one really has any concrete information.

One really has nothing to do with the other. 2.1 will be coming from Google/Verizon. Flash 10.1 is coming from Adobe. Will Adobe wait to release 10.1 after we get Android 2.1 ... who knows? But I see a lot of people that imply that Flash will be a part of the 2.1 package. And this just isn't the case.

Adobe released this video on January 6, 2010.

What exactly will the update to 2.1 mean? And does anyone know that with the new flash, will we be able to play flash games on the internet? The PlayStation PSP has a flash player 7 on it and you still can't play flash games on it. Will that be the case for us to?

Your DROID is going to look quite differently when 2.1 is installed. Five desktops instead of 3, a new Gallery, a new Music player, some other fluff, a lot of bugs worked out (the ones that these threads are about), and some optimizations for things like Flash 10.1 to run smoothly, 3D stuff, etc...

And does anyone know that with the new flash, will we be able to play flash games on the internet? The PlayStation PSP has a flash player 7 on it and you still can't play flash games on it. Will that be the case for us to?

There are several videos on YouTube already of Flash 10.1 on the DROID, and in all the videos I've seen, THEY ARE PLAYING GAMES. You'll be golden, just wait and see.

Are there any videos of it streaming from hulu? That is what I am most hopeful for

...this (as well as my response) is all speculation. the HTC Hero has flash capabilities that is baked right into the ROM and provided stock from HTC. we could get a similar thing OTA or it could be some download from the Market or some crazy new thing that is too magnificent to imagine...

no one knows nothing for sure

 

[G.Armour]

Wow! Nostalgia can be amazing! Now we all have 2.1, and those of us who are rooted have 2.2 (froyo) with flash 10.1 beta3.. Now in 6 months, I wonder what I'll be able to add to this..

Still no HJ button though.
