Flash 10.1 Final Hits Nexus One, Coming Soon for Droid
The Nexus One received an updated version of Adobe’s Flash 10.1 plugin this afternoon, cementing and making official the biggest advantage Google and its Android platform has over the iOS ecosystem. While most of the features were already in place, the final version improves the quality and reliability of video streams and games.
This momentous occasion also falls at the same time as Froyo is being distributed amongst most high-end Android smartphones, such as the Motorola Droid, Droid X, EVO 4G, and soon, the Galaxy S variants, though that won’t happen ’till September.
It’s good that Adobe had a good test subject in the Nexus One: the distribution group was small enough that they could catch any bugs before releasing the major upgrade, and the Nexus One is considered a developers’ or enthusiasts’ phone, so generally those owners were people who wanted to try the latest and greatest beta software.
Congratulations, Adobe and Google! Check out the build in the Android Marketplace.
PS. The Droid version should be available soon, according to Adobe CEO, Shantanu Narayen. It will distributed as a second update to the version of Froyo being released now, in the coming weeks.

Android 1.6-powered LG Loop Arrives At Rogers
about 4 days ago - View Comments
Does Rogers need another low-end, old-software Android device? Like I need a hole in the head. Which isn’t very much (though, reading press releases sometimes…). Perhaps what they need to do is take the devices they already sell, like the Samsung Galaxy Spica, HTC Magic+, Motorola QUENCH et al, and UPGRADE THEM INSTEAD. Uhem. On a

These days, the topic of keyboards on mobile devices is a hot one. Some prefer the Cadillac ride of a BlackBerry keyboard, while others prefer the on screen touch goodness that is found in the iPhone 4. One recently crowned world record holder though, prefers the keyboard found on the Samsung Galaxy S which makes

PayPal and Android: Was it bound to happen?

To date the only way to buy an app in the Android market place was through Google Checkout. The average reader may be saying, “So what’s the big deal? Doesn’t Google run everything online!?” The answer is no. Most people don’t have a Google Checkout account, opting to use the far more popular PayPal, and

An Android Flip, Really?

It seems as though when Motorola gets on a roll with pumping out hardware they cover all angles. A flip phone running Android was bound to happen sooner or later by Motorola or someone else. Say hello to the XT806, looking eerily similar to being a successor to the popular linux based Motorola A1200 (Ming)
