Flash on the web Browser

[moooseman]

I know its coming up pretty soon the the i phone. when does anyone think it will be up for Android????

i would say within a few months of the general release, we'll see some sort of programming that could be implemented to make it work. after all, the SDK has been released -- its only a matter of time

Bill Parry, a developer at Adobe, made a post on his blog saying that Adobe is

“closely working” with Android licensees and that in the future “Android based devices will ship with Adobe Flash support”

. Bill also says that the movement of Flash into more mobile devices is part of Adobe’s Open Screen Project.

I hope that Flash will soon be native in the Android browser, and if not, I hope that Skyfire releases a version of their browser for Android soon.

I'm looking forward to firefox mobile!

I'm not much impressed by google's android browser =/

EDIT: (although it's miles ahead of blackberry storm's)

SAY NO TO FLASH! In a world of very very fast javascript engines and ajaxy goodness there is NO need, hell, there is NO EXCUSE for using flash ever again. Unless you like to require 3rd party plug-ins, higher memory usage, higher CPU load, shorter battery life, I could go on and on.

There was a time when a CLUGDE like flash was needed to overcome limitations of the browser, that time was about 6-8 years ago...

And while we are here bashing useless expensive adobe products. XML + XSLT instead of PDF, works in your browser and requires no 3rd party software. Sorry adobe the modern world just doesn't need your proprietary crap.

Yeah, but you can watch Youtube on the G1 now. I just think it's funny that you can't watch Google Video on a GOOGLE phone.
