Adobe AIR 2 and Flash Player 10.1 Beta Software Now Available

This isn't for android and no firm release date but at least something is in the works as previous posters have suspected...

I wonder why they can't put flash lite onto all Android handsets?

That doesn't make sense. Any update on flash? Any other way to watch hulu?

Welcome to the forums

What doesn't make sense? The HTC Hero currently features a Lite version not a full blown version. I was wondering if they could put it on all devices

My samsung rogue (dumb phone) had pretty nice flash light, not just for embeded video's either. would play banners and what not.

Keep your eyes open for updates about Flash from "Adobe", not Motorola.

I know flash was preloaded and youtube works fine..but I can't load videos on sites like break.com because of adobe flash missing..solution?

Youtube mobile uses mp4 not flash.

That's what I meant. Sorry

I heard early 2010 as in 1Q2010, but who knows about those media sources.

Same with hulu, if flash was updated I'd be all over hulu

Hey, the more we post about it, the more we **might** get it

Just as important to me, I'd be able to stream my local Radio stations and listen to Talk Radio. Once we're able to use flash, the Droid will be like an FM/AM receiver adding yet another handy Swiss Army Knife style feature.

Pffftt hahahahahahahahah - yeah right. Just to give you an idea, I have been waiting for 2 friggin years for a 64bit version of Flash.

Updates from Adobe on Flash? I think I am gonna try to see if Android can support HTML5 instead, b/c of the Gordon app (allows flash to be viewed using only HTML5 and JavaScript) b/c that is gonna be a helluva lot easier to implement ***and*** a helluva lot lighter on resources - exactly what we all want as it is.

Amen - I'd also like to see SilverLight / MoonLight make it to Android - my fave radio station, 99X out of Atlanta, uses SilverLight, I believe, to stream (I may be wrong, it may be straight flash, but for some reason I thought it was SilverLight).

Curious, why are you waiting for 64bit flash?

Well, my point is that people keep thinking that Flash is going to start working, based on an update from Google, or Moto, along with other Android updates, instead of an update "specifically" for Flash, from Adobe.

because there is no support for 64bit browsers in Windows, and thus I am forced to use a 32bit browser for anything that requires flash.

With 64bit browsers, I can grab the latest builds / nightly / trunk builds of Firefox, compile it / them myself using patches to enhance performance for my CPU Instruction sets (as opposed to a vanilla compile that will run on a basic Pentium) and further optimize it by making it 64bit - giving me a much better overall experience.

For example, with Thunderbird, since I don't give a rat's arse about Flash there, I run 64bit - and it is a joy to see it cranking out threads to grab emails from 10 different email accounts (3 Google IMAP, 2 GMX IMAP, 4 HoTMaiL POP, Yahoo) without blinking... and with lower resource usage than its 32bit counterpart.

Ahh, I understand now. However, my rejoinder is still valid - waiting on Adobe may make me eligible for Social Security benefits far before they actually get around to supporting 64bit or Android.

I see, that's cool. You're a bit ahead of the curve though I'd say since there really isn't and official Firefox x64 unless you compile it like you said (AFAIK), Interesting stuff though -- I actually wouldn't be surprised if we see x64 support in FF4.

thatd be cool bout the feb thing, hope its true but i can wait if its not... does that mean the hero may not get flash? like full blown flash? i would figure the other phones would get lite but maybe since we are getting full blown they figured we could wait.
