Chrome Beta for Android First Impressions [Video]

Marques Brownlee — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:09:22 +0000

Now that Chrome Beta for Android has been available for a bit, I've taken some time to develop my first impressions of the application. It's obvious that the Chrome team is a separate division of Google that does its own thing, but we really like what they've done so far, especially with the tablet experience. It feels like a "real" web browser now.... Read more

Android has always been known to be one of the few mobile operating systems to run Flash content, but that feature was initially missing from Ice Cream Sandwich.

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... Read more

Just as quickly as Game Stop's Flash-based gaming portal Kongregate took the Android Market by storm, it was yanked from it's position, fate left unknown. In a nutshell, Google didn't like how much the app mimicked another app store. That would have been a completely valid reason if true - yes technically some games would be downloaded and stored via SD... Read more

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... Read more

Flash Player 10.1 for Android received an update today, bringing the app up to version 10.1.105.7. Unfortunately, this update is not the 10.2 beta available for desktops now. In fact, there is no recent changes listed for the app, so it's not really clear exactly what the update includes. Everyone's best guess lies along the lines of bug fixes and... Read more

It was August 16th when Flash first entered the Market, available only to users of a Nexus One. Since then, the spectrum of Flash 10.1 users has grown immensely, and Adobe's numbers reflect that: 1 million total downloads from the Android Market.
