Six things I looked at tonight that I thought were worth sharing regarding Flash 10.1 and Android 2.2...
- Flash 10.1 requires a device with an ARM v7 (Cortex) processor. Examples include the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets and TI OMAP3 series. Here is an unofficial list of U.S. Android phones that will not support Flash 10.1:
- Sprint Hero
- Sprint Moment
- T-Mobile G1
- T-Mobile myTouch 3G
- T-Mobile CLIQ (getting Android 2.1)
- T-Mobile Behold II
- Verizon Droid Eris (Flash Lite)
- Verizon Devour (Flash Lite) - Adobe is set to deliver Flash Player 10.1 by the end of June - or by the second half of 2010 at least. It will support Android phones, BlackBerry Those phones include Android models as well as those running Windows Phone 7, the BlackBerry OS, Symbian OS, and Palm's WebOS.
- Based on hardware specs, the Google Nexus One, Droid Incredible, and Motorola Droid are definitely eligible for Android 2.2, aka Froyo, and will include the support for Flash 10.1. Both Flash Player 10.1 and Adobe AIR 2.0 for Android are in pre-release testing. Most are expecting Froyo to appear at the Google I/O conference in May. It's successor is code-named Gingerbread.
- Most battery performance tests of video playing on the Nexus One over WIFI from YouTube in H.264 (Baseline 1.2) report about 4 hours playback time. Check out this site for more detailed info.
- There's a really cheesy browser out that acts like it uses Flash to open videos, called Skyfire. It's not worth your time.
- And just because... Froyo is defined as... Frozen yogurt!! ...(also known as frozen yoghurt or by the tradenames FroYo and Frogurt) is a frozen dessert made from, or containing yogurt or other dairy products. It is slightly more tart than ice cream, as well as lower in fat (due to the use of pure milk instead of cream). It differs from ice milk (more recently termed low-fat or light ice cream), which does not include yogurt as an ingredient.
Of course, most of this info is subject to change as most of it is rumor-based. I hope you enjoyed the read through! Post comments below if you find any errors or updates, I dont mind being blasted :-P
