Adobe taunts Android fans with another cool Flash 10.1 demo

Want to watch live streaming games of the 2010 NCAA Final Four from the palm of your hand? You could if your phone supported Flash 10.1, but Adobe is not releasing it till after the tourney is over. Adobe feels your pain so platform evangelist Ryan Stewart uploaded a video to show you what you are missing. It actually looks pretty cool. Hopefully Adobe will have Flash 10.1 out in time for next year’s tourney.

    I am aching and desperately waiting to have this update on my N1! I mean, how many times, my hopes turned down, when a flash-movie player failed to load on my smartphone due to this lack! Please make this on the next OTA update! Reminiscing the first update: http://bit.ly/nexus-one-official-ota-details

    I’m really hoping that like all things android it leaks early and some crafty chef gets his hands on it. Looks like they’ve got a pretty functional version running so only a matter of time before it leaks…

    It might not be out until next year??? Or so this article makes it sound, I really hope not! Flash coming out will be such a big strike against Apple.

    This makes me even MORE anxious for the Verizon N1 release. I can’t wait to toss my Blackberry Storm!

    Damn. I was just looking for a way to stream the games when I thought I would come here – just to see if there was any android news today. What a coincidence there’s a story about this. I really don’t understand why they don’t just release the alpha of Flash and let us start playing with it. Why taunt us?

    As far as the tourny, you’d think someone would have released an app that allows you to stream the games somehow. It seems like easy money to be made.

    Does anyone know of any way to at least stream the audio? I can’t find a shoutcast channel that does.

    When I was bouncing around their site a couple of weeks ago, the only public mobile beta you could sign up for (though beta release was still pending) was Palm Pre. Android or Crackberry betas were still in the mysterious future.

    I’m looking forward to not only the flash capabilities, but also the use of silverlight for streaming movies on netflix. :D Will definitely make my Droid a little sexier.

    Man this looks so hot it makes me do a sex wee.

    Seriously though, this is the one thing I use to beat iPhone drones about the head with – we’ve got flash and you haven’t.

    Except we haven’t – yet.

    Come on Adobe.

    Maybe i’m confusing adobe flash and macromedia flash, but all the flash demo vids seem to just be playing flash videos.

    Does this flash only do videos, or will it also display flash-based websites and flash-based games like miniclip?

      Adobe Flash and Macromedia Flash are the same thing. Adobe bought Flash from Macromedia years ago. I think the question you meant to ask is whether Flash using a swf extension would also work since we’ve only seen videos of Flash flv movies. I can’t answer this definitively, but everything I’ve seen would indicate yes – we will also get swf and be able to view all Flash sites.
