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

[mrk]

Adobe has finalised the plans for Flash 10.1 and all mobile platforms except iPhone will be getting it.

On top of this it has full GPU acceleration and some other bits.

iPhone is not getting it due to Apple not playing ball apparently, probably because they don't like the idea of people using Flash apps on the iPhone...

Looking forward to trying the BETA later this month

Read about it this morning at Engadget, Android won't be getting it till early next year

About time, but a shame we have to wait so long for it to come to Android. Tbh, I've been a bit disappointed with Android lately. It feels like Google don't have their heart in it.

Android will get the BETA this year, the final is next year.

i think apple just dont bother if they cant make some cash out of it.

 

[Oh Ed not again.]

/me waits for recompiled version for iPhone, Steve Jobs getting narky about it, then officially launching it as a shiny new wonder feature at WWDC '10.

(Of course, ignoring that fact other phones have been able to do it for 6-12 months already in typical Apple fashion. *cough* MMS *cough*).

Cool...looks like there might be a good chance that Blackberry will also support Flash in the future.

Adobe Flash on OSX is a total botch job.

So I'm confused what platforms will it be ready on "out of the box" ? - I can't access the link at work

Will the Palm Pre?

You make that sound like early next year is a long way off. The speed this year has gone for me it feels like next year already. (that makes sense in my head)

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.

I want it so I can play prank sound boards down the land line phone easily to cold callers

For starters, it's really inefficient having every single website that wants to deliver streaming video coding an app for each smartphone platform.

the iPhone can stream h264... no app needed.

iphone user then? Flash is used in loads of stuff. BBC content is a big one and loads of sites like weebl which i or the kids frequent.

They normally are but Adobe and Apple (Retail at least) are at each other's throats at the moment over some pricing beef.
