Adobe Flash support will not be included in the Chrome for Android browser
Earlier today Google released the Chrome for Android Beta, allowing any device running Android 4.0 the ability to access desktop browser quality features. One thing it doesn't include, (that the stock Android browser does) is support for Adobe Flash. We already knew that mobile development for Flash would be going the way of the dinosaur, but Adobe has again stated... Read more » Adobe AIR gets updated; ICS support promised and delivered
Flash, our favorite internet media format slated for obsolescence received an updated today that brings full support for Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). There was a bit of grumbling when Adobe decided that the format was going to be discontinued for the company to pursue development into HTML 5. Luckily, just over a month ago, they announced that Android 4.0 would... Read more » Adobe Flash Player gets performance and security update
Adobe Flash Player, though it is slated for obsolescence, received an update yesterday. If you haven't already been notified, please head over to the Market and grab the apk. Android's Flash Player gets updated to 11.1.111.5 which admittedly does not come with any major feature updates, but does promise to improve security, stability, performance, and device...

We know that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus doesn't support Adobe's Flash Player right out of the box, and while that's not the best news (especially for a platform that was using Flash Player as a bullet point for so long), it gets a bit better near the end of the tunnel. Adobe has already confirmed that the device will be getting support for Flash Player and AIR in the... Read more » Adobe confirms they are ending future support for Flash Player for mobile devices
Bad news for anyone out there who is planning on having Flash Player on their future devices. Earlier today, Adobe announced that they will be ending support for Flash Player for mobile devices, and be focusing their efforts on Adobe AIR support, and allowing developers to incorporate Flash in their own ways in the future. Adobe is going to move forward by... Read more » Barnes and Noble announce new NOOK: The Simple Touch Reader
Barnes & Noble announced today pre-order availability for their new simplified Nook e-book reader, The Simple Touch. This Wi-Fi-only e-ink tablet runs $139 and will be shipping on June 10th. The 6" display is black & white, and, as the title suggests, is touch sensitive. The Simple Touch runs Android 2.1 without Market access. But B&N is launching a new website... Read more » Flash 10.2 beta announced for next week
Probably the biggest gripe surrounding the Motorola Xoom is the lack of Flash. It was an included feature when unveiled, but when launched it was nowhere to be found. Fortunately, that's about to change as today Adobe has announced Flash 10.2 beta. Available in the Android Market starting March 18th, Flash 10.2 will initially only be available for devices... Read more » Adobe: Flash video acceleration for Chrome OS top priority
One of the primary complaints of those who have been lucky enough to get in on Google's pilot test program for their CR-48 Chrome OS nebook has been Flash video performance. Quirks and bugs can be expected at this stage of the game. After all, those with Google's rubberized notebook in their laps have them for the sole purpose of discovering problems. And this video... Read more » Adobe AIR for Android
It was (kinda sorta) officially announced at the Big Android BBQ that Adobe AIR was on the fast track for an early October release into the Android Market. Well sure enough, last night AIR quietly crept into the realm of downloadable apps, and is ready to grace your device with Adobe goodness. "Adobe® AIR® will let you publish ActionScript 3 projects to run... Read more » Adobe warns of Flash 10.1 security flaw and promises fix
A security flaw in Adobe Flash 10.1 is affecting both desktop (10.1.82.76) and Android (10.1.92.10) versions. As the official advisory doesn't explicitly state that earlier versions are ok, users should be wary of the sites they visit, and maybe just disable Flash until a fix arrives. Odds are, with the way Flash performs on Android, you won't miss it all that... Read more »
