Flash 10.1 demoed on Google Nexus One; Android fans await

 

The battle between Flash 10.1 and HTML5 is a hot topic right now, given the imminent arrival of the Flash-free iPad, and Adobe is doing its best to point out that aren’t quite out of the game yet as some analysts, and rumors would have you believe. Adobe has found an ally in Google which has just announced that the Chrome browser and more importantly the Chrome OS will not merely support but natively integrate Flash technology.

Flash integration with Google Nexus One was debut at the MWC 2010, since then a lot of work has been out in to perfecting it for its big release. As the wait continues we have more video proof from different sources that it does work PERFECTLY on Android driven Nexus One, see below:




As per the rep “it’s not fully hardware accelerated, so that means you won’t get the same frame-rates and you don’t get the power saving.” Not only does this demo signal that Flash 10.1 works, and works well on the Nexus One, but this is just one step closer to the inevitable release. Of course, a date has not been set, besides the usual ‘first half of 2010′ that we’ve heard before. But Flash for Android looks closer than ever, and while it looks nice on the Nexus One, who knows how the playback will be on "low-end" Android cell phones.
