Re: Flash for Android running fairly well on the Nexus One
#22The only way I'd put Flash Player on my Nexus One is if it had some kind of ClickToFlash-like functionality. One of the best parts of mobile browsing is missing out on horrible Flash banner ads and annoying middle-of-the-screen popups. Yes, mobile Flash video and games might be cool, but it's not worth that downside, IMO.

Really? Are people still " trotting this out? You know I haven't been able to play a single HTML5 game on my N1. Every single one requires either a physical keyboard or mouse events that I can't simulate.
I agree that it's a red herring in the "future of Flash" argument, but it's still a significant hurdle. The value of any existing Flash content that requires keybaord or mouse hover interactions is diminished almost to the point that you might as well not have it.
That's not to say that future Flash content won't be built with touchscreen interfaces in mind.

#24From the source (http://blog.digitalbackcountry.com/2010/05/examples-of-flash...):
We’ll be releasing a public version of Flash Player 10.1 at Google I/O
Expected, but wasn't confirmed until now. Nice. So we all should have it in a week or so and be able to run our own tests.

#25Is it just me, or was the scrolling incredibly slow? And the hockey video's playback choppy? It's also interesting that the phone was being charged, considering the battery usage the last time flash was demoed...
If we have the same video in mind, 'the last time' the video was edited and cut in the middle, giving the impression the battery was depleted halfway through.
Here's some battery 'benchmarks' (rather, accelerated videos) when playing video with Flash:

Like it or not, flash is part of the web. I'm not a huge fan of flash, but it's _everywhere_, despite what Steve Jobs wants you to believe.

#27So I can play Farmville?

Keep in mind this is using the Flash Lite player, though, not the full 10.1 that will be released in a week or so.

The HTC incredible uses Flash Lite. Flash 10.1 (the one demoed here) is supposed to be much better in terms of performance and battery usage (not to mention it has many more features than FL; FL is around Flash 9 sans some features).

#29Looks kind of awkward but not bad for a beta. I'm curious how they are going to handle the small text problem. The first demo is a good example of that. He locks input to the Flash app so presumably to zoom in and out you have to unlock input, zoom in, and relock it to continue using the app. That could get tedious.

At least for Flash video many sites will serve up HTML5 video instead based on your browser user-agent. So you might see Flash where an iPad or iPhone user would see HTML5 video. Try switching your browser UA to iPad for a few hours. It's interesting to see the difference.
