It’s time to say farewell to Adobe Flash and hello to Adobe Edge as Adobe has decided that Flash won’t be of much use on mobile devices and that HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript would do a much better job. More »

A year ago, Google included Adobe Flash into their Chrome browser that made their users a little frustrated. But Google’s always had good intentions behind their reasons. They’ve always said they keep their Chrome users’ security in mind. Now, there’s a new feature that will allow users to clear those annoying Flash cookies! More »

From Htcyou: Motorola hardly tried to keep its social networking smartphone, the Charm, a secret, so today’s announcement that it is coming to T-Mobile surprises no one. Built on Android 2.1 with an “enhanced” version of Motoblur, the Charm is noted as Adobe Flash enabled. More »

Cisco is investing abundantly into video and will release a video chat program based on Movi for the iPhone 4. Additionally, Cisco plans to introduce a technolgy called the “Media Experience Engine” to add Adobe’s inescapable Flash to the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch and other devices through the use of a network based service that transcodes video from one source onto another. Essentially, a device with MEE would not need Flash to view its content. More »

From Htcyou: The good news is that Adobe Flash 10.1 beta is ready to download over-the-air for Android 2.2 FroYo phones, but the catch is that no smartphone runs 2.2 yet, and that Eclair and older Android builds no longer support 10.1! More »

Ryan Stewart’s Adobe Flash 10.1 video demonstration is in fact running off Google’s unreleased Android 2.2 “Froyo” operating system. Not only will the latest Android OS be manifold faster than Eclair 2.1, but it will also have USB tethering and a Wi-Fi hotspot feature. More »

Make it “Photo and Video of the Day.” What you are staring at is rumored to be Google’s Android 2.2 “Froyo” operating system running on a Nexus One. One of the benefits (or blights, depending on your allegiances) of Google’s next smartphone OS is that Adobe Flash 10.1 is integrated. If this clip is genuine and is not simply a modified Android 2.1 or earlier ROM (I am not cognizant of an existing Android ROM that can run full Flash this well), then Ryan Stewart, the video’s uploader and self-professed Adobe “evangelist,” makes a cogent argument for Flash and Froyo.

From Htcyou: Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen misspoke during a Fox interview when he said that Flash 10.1 would not be available until the second half of this year. What he meant was that new hardware with 10.1 installed would not be out before Q3 2010. Adobe has clarified the misunderstanding by stating that the plug-in itself will arrive for download prior to the second half of this year. More »

From Htcyou: Fox Business‘ interview with Shantanu Narayen, Adobe President and Chief, has revealed (6:35) that Flash 10.1 is on pace for a full release during the second half of this year for Android, RIM, and WebOS. Please do not rush it, Adobe. Flash is terrible enough for OS X and Windows –yet, I hope that 10.1 arrives before December 31st. More »

This photo does not do Apple justice because only two of the twelve “iPad-ready” websites are shown. You see, the iPad includes iPhone OS Safari, which supports “the latest web standards” like “HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript.” Too bad for the iPad that there are hundreds of millions of computers in the world that are 99.99% internet-ready and also feature Safari, the full version.

From Htcyou: Adobe’s MWC appearance revealed something big: only smartphones with ARM Cortex-A8 or faster processors will run Flash 10.1 properly. Also, 50Mb of free RAM is required, but all current Android devices have this covered; unfortunately, in North America, only the Nexus One and Motorola Droid have the CPU requirements, so this means that the HTC Magic (myTouch), Dream (G1), Hero, Motorola CLIQ, and other top selling Android phones will not be supported.

A report from Media Memo, Hulu’s forthcoming application for the iPad may be a pay-per-view or some other form of paid service. If this is true, then Apple will have a tougher time trying to convince people that the iPad is a true multimedia tablet when it lacks Flash and Hulu. More »

From Htcyou: In addition to showing Flash 10.1 on an HTC HD2 (Windows Mobile 6.5) and the Nexus One, Adobe hopes that AIR will allow easy cross-platform integration with so many different operating systems powering smartphones. More »

No matter what haters might think of Steve Jobs, who can reasonably deny that Flash is slow, buggy, and a security hazard? Jobs allegedly deprecated Adobe recently, calling the company “lazy.” The Apple CEO is arguably justified in leaving Flash support off the iPhone and the forthcoming iPad. More »

From Htcyou: Motorola’s imminent Devour Verizon smartphone, despite using an older Android 1.6 build, will have Adobe Flash Lite®, which even the Droid still does not possess. Also, Telus has once again omitted Manitoba and Saskatchewan from another smartphone release, as the Milestone (Droid) will not be available in those two desolate provinces. More »
