So I guess MSFT should be bashed in the same manner as Apple? Then why so many PC fanboys here seem to not be so bothered by lack of flash on their own devices and are so quick to bash Apple's lack of flash support? haha, hypocrites.]]>Feb 15th 2010 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/adobe-confirms-no-flash-in-windows-mobile-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/adobe-confirms-no-flash-in-windows-mobile-7/
I have been using Flash for almost a decade now with zero issues. Both on Windows and OSX platforms. The "unstable" part is fud. HTML5 will also not replace Flash as there are thousands and thousands of free apps and games that are in Flash right now. Unless HTML5 has some sort of Flash emulator, there isn't any point is saying it will replace it.]]>Feb 15th 2010 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/adobe-confirms-no-flash-in-windows-mobile-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/adobe-confirms-no-flash-in-windows-mobile-7/
I don't know, I'd say they're direct competitors. Web apps, video streaming, desktop apps.

It seems Apple is refusing to let Adobe put Flash on the iPhone, whereas it looks like Adobe simply doesn't have anything ready for Windows Mobile 7.]]>Feb 15th 2010 11:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/adobe-confirms-no-flash-in-windows-mobile-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/adobe-confirms-no-flash-in-windows-mobile-7/

Engadget tries to tell us CrapPad is not alone in Flash and single tasking!

Then they drop the "initially" and try to make this equal to Apple's avoidance of flash being installed on CrapPad! While Microsoft is working with Adobe to bring new flash version to WinMo7

I start to feel disgusted at these engadget unfair advertisement games. Can someone introduce me an alternative website? I seriously think about moving.

I have finally decided to agree with Steve jobs here.

Adobe is LAZY. I mean WTF. Windows Mobile 6.5.3 DOESN'T HAVE FLASH YET.

Android BARELY has flash support.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE A SUPER LARGE SOFTWARE COMPANY TO MAKE A FLASH PLAYER!!

And then not only does it take forever to make one. The ones they have suck. My Flash on my laptop made my laptop overheat till the cpu turned off to save itself from playing a Tower Defense game. Twice.]]>Feb 15th 2010 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/adobe-confirms-no-flash-in-windows-mobile-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/adobe-confirms-no-flash-in-windows-mobile-7/
I wrote before that Flash 10.1 is a four year project by Adobe that will utilize the smart phone’s GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) to decode and render smooth videos, render vectors, render bitmaps, and render animations on smart phones that support Flash 10.1. In other words, Flash 10.1 performs GPU acceleration of Flash content; similar in concept to using the GPU to enhance 3D gaming performance.

This is not the sign of a lazy company to me, it is the sign of a company that has been rethinking the whole concept of Flash and rebuilding it from the ground up for a whole new generation of smart phones.]]>Feb 15th 2010 1:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/adobe-confirms-no-flash-in-windows-mobile-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/adobe-confirms-no-flash-in-windows-mobile-7/
Flash 10.1 is designed to solve your problem. It is designed to offload the work from the CPU (Central Processing Unit) to the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). The CPU is very inefficient when it comes to performing certain types of graphics intensive operations. This is what Adobe has been working on, but they need the support of various manufacturers. They are getting that support from Palm, Google, Nokia, and others.]]>Feb 15th 2010 1:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/adobe-confirms-no-flash-in-windows-mobile-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/adobe-confirms-no-flash-in-windows-mobile-7/Why would Adobe make the version number 10.1, implying a minor update, versus Flash 11, which would imply major changes? Are you sure they're rebuilding it?]]>Feb 15th 2010 11:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/adobe-confirms-no-flash-in-windows-mobile-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/adobe-confirms-no-flash-in-windows-mobile-7/Feb 16th 2010 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/adobe-confirms-no-flash-in-windows-mobile-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/adobe-confirms-no-flash-in-windows-mobile-7/
Just wait ONE DAY and this should be resolved.]]>Feb 14th 2010 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/adobe-confirms-no-flash-in-windows-mobile-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/adobe-confirms-no-flash-in-windows-mobile-7/
Why the need for so much speculation and unfounded crap.

"No Multitasking in 7!" Really?! U think MS decided to kill 7 by killing the CORE function?

"WinMo 7 will not have flash" Again. Adobe knows it has to have Flash on WinMo platform and hey it had flash on WinMo since 6.1

Just wait a day.

It will have the ability to keep open multiple applications they just didn't know if it would be pausing background applications. This would imply that applications would have to have a background thread or a notification system.

And Flash won't be added at launch it is coming unlike other operating systems that have completely denied Flash on their devices.]]>Feb 14th 2010 8:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/adobe-confirms-no-flash-in-windows-mobile-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/adobe-confirms-no-flash-in-windows-mobile-7/
