Froyo And Flash 10.1 on Android

I held Google / O in San Francisco last May, the Mountain View company has launched
Froyo , a major update to Android . Among the many new features, there is official support for Flash (10.1) , which promises to provide full compatibility with the "desktop" plug-ins. Given the performance of Flash Lite on HTC disaster Desire (which nevertheless is equipped with a 1GHz Snapdragon) that only provides partial compatibility with Flash , we really did not expect to getting good results.

Against all expectations, Adobe has made significant optimization work during the transition period to 10.1. Until now, Web video used in Android are often restricted to YouTube (via the original player) or DailyMotion
(Via Market program). Now with Flash 10.01 , already nearly full access to video content
available on the web. With Flash Lite, the video turned into a meeting with slides or worst, usually ends with a black
screen. This time, we see that the flow is often in place of the meeting.

Of course, all is not perfect yet. When playing video, the browser a lot to lose its reactivity.
On the other hand, as expected, access controls (play, stop, pause) are not always as clear as on the desktop (which delays the most shows end of their noses). Although minor criticisms, the
efforts made by Adobe remain significant. About the technical capacity (Adobe talks about A8 minimum 1GHz cortex), all devices Android the future will make the most of video content ... democratization until HTML5
standard.
