Flash 10.1 coming (BETA this month, FINAL early/mid 2010) - NO iPHONE!

  • Thread starter Thread starter mrk

Great news :cool:
We knew it was coming (and lets not forget the HTC Hero has Flash in some form already) but good to know it is close to a complete product

And lol at the iPhone fail of again not implementing features standard on most other devices
 
It will probably never be on the iPhone, dont forget it is a programming language. It would allow people to write apps that Apple cannot charge for. Flash is a pretty powerful language these days.
 
Apple made you think that.

Just liek how MMS and copy pasting text is so so amazing on the iPhone as well :p
 
This will be great once it's around, especially if it actually enables full use of streaming sites for live streams/Tv streams/that sort of thing.

Seems to be the only major thing I find myself longing for on every phone I get.

Why would anyone want flash on iphone? Flash adverts on a 3G connection woo! Seriously the only time I use flash is for youtube and little flash games. the iPhone has a Youtube app and most flash games wouldn't work due to the touchscreen, plus you have apps for that.

But I thought that the iPhone offered the full web experience?

The only platform I have seen that actually allows close to full web experience is WM devices. Already has flash you don't need specific pages coded for your phone (iPhone facebook anyone?). It also doesn't rearrange the page so you can view it on your screen and you usually only have to scroll down (like on your PC) to view the rest of the page.

Flash adverts are one small use of flash, there are loads already mentioned. I assume we just download the update to our phones (when it's out)?

Android does all this? With the added bonus of pinch to zoom etc...

How? with a maximum resolution of 480pix you are not going to see a site the way it's meant to be seen unless you scroll sideways as well as down (considering most sites are optimised to 800 px wide at least).

Anddroid however is the second closest thing to proper web browsing on the phone. I'm just waiting for the new version to come out, allowing support for 480 x 800+ px, then it will probably supass WM until WM7 comes out maybe.:)

yawn. Bigging up WM disproportionally again. There are a whole host of decent internet browsing platforms each with their positives and negatives, with WM's massive disadvantages as a general OS certainly makes it not the best.

Yawn, moaning about the apparent "massive" disadvantages of WM again... Use a modern phone instead of a 5 year old WM phone and see the difference. Very little difference between the three OS's and browsers, however WM has the advantage of a larger resolution...
 
Just as an interesting side note to what I have said, here are a couple of screenshots from my HD, anyone want to do the same for an Android, iPhone or Symbian phone? Would be interesting to compare the differences. :)
