I know flash was preloaded and youtube works fine..but I can't load videos on sites like break.com because of adobe flash missing..solution?

I heard early 2010 as in 1Q2010, but who knows about those media sources.

Same with hulu, if flash was updated I'd be all over hulu

Hey, the more we post about it, the more we **might** get it

[Carl C]

No the HTC Hero has flash {Lite version} and does well within the browser , Apparently people can watch flash videos etc online

 

[iamloco724]

I wonder why they can't put flash lite onto all Android handsets?

 

[Marquee B]

I was thinking the same thing why put it on one phone with android and not all of them. weird.

Also, the ENV Touch (non-smart phone) supports Flash Lite. I don't know how well it works though since I've never used one...

Hmmm... Yep, I cant wait for flash. Several sites I goto the droid cant. Hulu would be great if it worked. Soon.

I heard in 2010 Hulu would start charging a fee.

 

[jeepdroid]

Wow, I havnt heard that till just now. Man that stinks if and when it happpens

 

[Graz]

All of my previous WM phones didn't support flash either but you could download Skyfire (mobile browser) and that supported embedded flash video. Still haven't found anything for the Android OS yet...

Not to derail.. so pretend this isnt here.

Yes Skyfire will play any Hulu files and fancast.com files so you can watch anything on Skyfire browser. Hope it comes to the Android OS.

Flash will be enabled on your phone and an update will be provided OTA. It's scheduled to release the first week of February.

Where did you get this info?

 

[El Blacksheep]

Flash support is coming to all devices not beginning with an i.
Not flash lite either, but full flash. Flash 10.1 to be specific.

WebOS will supposedly be the first platform to get it.
Android and Windows Mobile will get it next (can't remember which order).
RIM will get it last.

At least thats what I read on some tech site somewhere. Can't remember where now lol.

Any way to get Flash Lite until then? I have the eris right now and am considering changing to the droid... or just returning it all and waiting for the passion.

From this article:

"Adobe's next version of Flash supports Windows Mobile, Google's Android, Palm's webOS and RIM' BlackBerry platforms. Missing from the list: Apple's iPhone."

"In the past, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) CEO Steve Jobs has publicly criticized Flash technology, saying it's too slow and inefficient for mobile devices. His company's iPhone OS is now the only major platform that isn't supported by Flash 10.1."

Seems like apple is too cool to be able to watch 80% of video on the internet.

Nokia N900 doesn't seem to have trouble running Flash. I may be dropping the Droid for it (TV Out).
