This one I would buy for myself. The Droid didn't do it for me at all. Just seems so blocky and the keyboard on this one seems way better to me, not off-set to one side. But have to see and feel in action to be sure. ]]>Feb 4th 2010 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/Feb 4th 2010 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/Feb 4th 2010 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/

I'm not sure why most people judge screens sizes by inches instead of pixels, the latter of which is what really makes the difference.

This I think has 320x480, vs the Droid's 854x480.]]>Feb 4th 2010 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/Feb 4th 2010 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/Feb 4th 2010 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/Feb 4th 2010 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/droidial - lol - nice one!]]>Feb 4th 2010 9:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/http://bit.ly/moto-calgary-devour-details

"We hope you like Blur, because it's not going anywhere. CEO Sanjay Jha says that "the majority of our new smartphone [sic] this year will feature" the platform, and that it'll "include enhancements to address the prosumer segment of the market." They're looking to rope in media (music, photos, and so on) the same way they did social networking, boost enterprise compatibility for white collar types that only have one phone, and improve network efficiency to ease up on battery drain. All good things, we reckon."

Yeah, Moto missed out with this thing, it could have been a winner with a nice 4" oled screen, Snapdragon CPU &500 gb ram, and an alu unibody chassis instead of cheapo plastic discarded by chinese toys makers.
Besides why no smartphone maker adds DLNA capabilities to their products?
Or at least an HDMI out; after all some year ago TV out was quite common on hig end phones.]]>Feb 4th 2010 8:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/Feb 4th 2010 11:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/Feb 4th 2010 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/
This is wrong. Flash Lite is based off Flash 9 and basically hacked onto smartphone platforms. I've used Flash Lite on a HTC Hero, and frankly, the experience is terrible.

Flash 10.1 on WebOS (and other platforms shortly) is a much more elegant solution that was build from the ground up for smartphones. So while the Devour will have "flash," it will unlikely have flash that actually works.]]>Feb 4th 2010 3:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/Agreed, since most sites aren't even compatible with Flash Lite anyways, since most content uses ActiveScript.]]>Feb 4th 2010 4:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/You guys realize Flashlite is more compatible than no Flash support at all, right? And comparing Flashlite on a WinMo device has little to do with this implementation. Nokia and S60 devices ushered in embedded Flash in browsers for phones with Flashlite, and it is a great spec. Flashlite has also been updated to 4.0, so maybe this can see the upgrade as well in the future.

For low powered devices, Flashlite is great. Ask guys with no Flash, like iPhone users, if they'd like some Flashlite love....]]>Feb 4th 2010 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/
Flash Lite does nothing for me. It's completely useless for what I need and can't access on my iPhone.

What I want, is for Apple to give in and provide full Flash. I don't care how much it drains the battery...I can plug my iPhone in just fine. Give us full Flash with the ability to disable...or even have it be turned off by default.]]>Feb 4th 2010 7:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/I`ve been using flash lite on my n95 and skyfire renders webpages just as my pc, I can load youtube videos even on the embedded browser without problems and they run smothly.]]>Feb 5th 2010 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/Feb 4th 2010 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/Feb 4th 2010 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/Feb 4th 2010 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/

Why would you want LESS options? Most of the web is Flash these days, and there are a TON of Flash apps for free you can get. HTML5 will simply not replace Flash unless it has a Flash Emulator built into it. ]]>Feb 4th 2010 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/
1. Flash is available for every phone, but is slow and buggy. Hulu, iPlayer, Youtube etc. continue to only offer flash videos because flash is widely supported. Long term result: slow, jerky videos and poor battery life.

or

2. No phones support flash. Slowly content providers provide HTML5 video options for phones. This will obviously take time because there's still the whole H264 vs Theora debate, but it slightly simplified by the fact that nearly all phones browsers use WebKit which has support for video tags, at least in the desktop versions. Result: crispy smooth video playback using the phone's dedicated hardware. Better battery life. Better video playback on desktops (flash *still* struggles with video even on my fairly modern dual core system).

Also "More choice = Better" is patently wrong. C.f. facebook vs myspace.]]>Feb 4th 2010 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/motorola-devour-has-flash-support-makes-pixi-look-like-an-under/
