Adobe Flash Player 10.2 for Android landing March 18

Adobe has announced that it will release Flash Player 10.2 for Android 2.2 (Froyo) and Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) devices, as well as a beta version for Android 3.0.1 Honeycomb tablets, on March 18th. The release will provide performance improvements and take advantage of the dual-core and GPU-enabled processors in phones such as the Motorola ATRIX 4G and LG Optimus 2X. The addition of a new soft-keyboard should make it easier for developers to optimize desktop apps for use on full-touchscreen smartphones and tablets, too. Adobe worked closely with Google on the new Android 3.0.1 Honeycomb update to add support for hardware accelerated, HD, H.264 video content using the Stage Video rendering pipeline. On Honeycomb tablets, Flash Player 10.2 will also offer improved webpage scrolling, and better support for websites that implement HTML content on top of Flash Player content. Unfortunately, these features won’t be supported on Android 2.2 (Froyo) or Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) just yet, however.

    Honeycomb is going to be so sweet.

    Why would anyone want flash on their phones bogging down their available resources? Flash is going the way of the dinosaurs. Apple recognizes this, and made the right move not allowing that crap on their devices. This makes for a tremendous user experience, something Android can’t provide since it’s heavily buggy and fragmented.

        It did lol, just ask a Verizon sales rep. It didn’t kill Android entirely but when both devices are place side by side people chose the iPhone4 even if they have pay out of pocket. It’s a magical device.

      • Fvsanpedro

        And which specific android phone is killing the iPhone 4?

      Hey, look everyone…Steve Jobs is posting on BGR. :-)

      • sirpaul

        Steve probably does post on this website. It could be Norm for all we know!

        Hey Steve…if you read this – can I have $1M? It’s pocket change for you!

    • Mmmm

      Idiot.. u can setup flash so its on demand only. it doesn’t run all the time.

      Time for u to go pee, your bladder is full of koolaide

      You obviously have NO clue about how Flash works on Android phones. The current version of Flash works quite nicely and with little to no drag on resources. And, what’s more, I have the OPTION to turn it off or to work on demand. Remember: with iOS, you don’t have options. You get whatever Steve Jobs says you get. This updated version of Flash 10.2 will be even better. And we Android users will all have a “real web user experience” while the iOS peeps get the blue cube! LOL.

        Flash is dying. It’s nothing more than a bad marketing term for Android losers….

        Oh! FFF@@@@GGGG!!!! FFFFF%CK YOU!!!!!! Are you some half Hawaiian SP!CK?

    Great job Adobe, announcing this on the iPad launch day. This should make those “wise” consumers think twice about the capabilities limited iPad 2.

    • Anonymous

      Have to reply to yourself huh? LOL..LOSER!

    • Normisntstevejobs

      I’m sure all those people in line must be thinking twice about the limited device they’re (or is it their? Maybe there?) about to buy. Don’t forget to also mention widgets. They’re also very important.

        I feel even better seeing as how I was the original Norm 4-5 months back, before you started a parody of my handle.
        I wasn’t that big of a stark raving fanboy, was I?

      • SteveB

        I think you were.

        Well, screw you butthole. Crapple sux android rules. My opinion reflects society.

    Sweet! Too bad my Atrix is going back because my data speeds blow! I think I’ll be happy with the Tbolt

    So…let me get this straight. Android users excited for Flash are people that like to see men in red tights?

    I get it…LOL..F@GGOTS!

    Android & Android Device Users = F@GS and Retards that live with their folks still?

    Makes sense…

    • Jayhammy

      You are an ignorant asshole. I don’t care if you add an @ sign in place of the letter a. You’re writing a word that is offensive to many people, gay or not. Would you also write words like “n1gger” or “sp1ck” or something else inappropriate? Think before you write.

      • Anonymous

        Sure! N!GGER, SP!CK, J3W!, G00K…

        Offensive? LOL…Too funny. So many PC people out. Blacks call each other N@ggers all day long. Yet if we say it, or if we say “Black” vs. “African American” we’re racist or offensive…

        F@CK YOU F@G, J3W, SP!CK, N!GGER!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!

    • KCRic

      Sure because I took my parents over to Afghanistan with me and they lived on base with me too. You have got to be the most senile ignorant douche out there. At least Norm is tactful with his comments. Why don’t you take your yuppie, iPhone sodomy loving self, and go play in traffic.

        Oh a military person. By the way, I don’t by in to the whole “Thank the military” thing. F$CK YOU! I hope you run over an IED and blow the F*CK UP! If you come back with half an arm, or leg I’ll point at you and laugh!! LOL…LOOK AT THE LOSER!!!!

        Just because you were too stupid to get an education, and went into the military isn’t my problem. I think it’s funny. Post traumatic what? PLEASE! You went in because you figured it was a good way to squeeze out some free education, and get a pension.

        Sodomy? Huh..sounds like you know all about it. Being in the military I guess you guys F&CK each other in the ass a lot….LMAO…

        Oh! J3W, N!GGER, SP!CK, G00K!!!! Thank You..Thank You!!!

    Good timing. The reviews which look at battery life will be all but gone by then.

    I’d think getting the Xoom’s browser to be HTML5, hell, even HTML4 compliant would be a higher priority than getting Flash, but whatever.
