To connect to your tv or monitor?]]>Feb 24th 2010 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/
@streetfighters Thats utter BS. A netbook connecting to a tv is going to happen so rarely it's not even a viable use case scenario. It's meant to be a portable device, a more powerful phone with 80-100% keyboard and trackpad.]]>Feb 24th 2010 6:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/

720p will bring an Atom to it's knees and that's what these machines are.

Being able to "play anything" is a handy thing. It's not the size of the output device but the "size" of the content that will determine whether or not the video will be playable on any given device.]]>Feb 25th 2010 12:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/
but 720p fullscreen on a 1024x600 display is just perfect, and does not fry your processor, with temps high enough to fry eggs on the keyboard. Not to mention that it would still get half the framerate without any acceleration (relying solely on the CPU)]]>Feb 25th 2010 4:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/Feb 24th 2010 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/Feb 24th 2010 5:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/Feb 25th 2010 4:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/Feb 24th 2010 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/

The GMA500 is awful in many ways, but it supports supported higher-res video playback in the hardware, hence the Flash support.]]>Feb 24th 2010 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/Feb 24th 2010 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/
yeah that sux,

my VAIO from 2007 has a GMA950 so no HW acceleration love there but it does pack 1.6GHZ core 2 duo so most 720p stuff works fine.

Also, not sure what's up, but my Flash hates me.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. Unfortunately, that is not mentioned anywhere in the installation instructions.

True, but I was talking about non-beta Flash player (10.0.*). It doesn't have the specific instruction; however, now that I have successfully installed it, Swede's advice is indeed necessary if you want to have a successful upgrade. Otherwise it will "install," but when you check your version, you'll see it didn't actually upgrade.]]>Feb 24th 2010 8:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/Feb 24th 2010 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/Feb 24th 2010 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/
I ask because if so it becomes a very compelling htpc, considering the only thing holding it back is decent HD playback.

I have 3 OSes installed on my S10, Win7(homepremium), OSX hack(Snow), Fedora 12. I installed beta 3 on all platforms and all failed even at 720p. My broadcom was working fine with independent players before. For Win7, I use gom and mpchc -- OSX, I use XBMC nightly build -- XBMC for Fedora as well. I also tried other browsers. I guess I still have to wait for Broadcom Drivers.

Thanks Engadget!]]>Feb 24th 2010 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/Feb 24th 2010 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/
I just installed the BCM970012 two days ago on my MSI L2100 (same as U210). Before Flash 10.1.3 and the newest Broadcom drivers it made barely any difference. But I just updated both and now it's playing Youtube 720p full screen videos with no dropped frames (or at least not noticeable) and 1080p non full screen perfectly. Honestly, the $379 for the netbook + the $20 for the broadcom HD decoder make for a $400 super lightweight HD playing powerhouse! ]]>Feb 24th 2010 5:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/Feb 24th 2010 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/Feb 24th 2010 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/flash-10-1-beta-3-released-adds-support-for-intel-gma-500-and-a/

I had Flash Lite on my old windows mobile phone years ago, and although it didn't support everything, it at least let me watch Strongbad Emails and play plenty of flash games.

I wish apple would STFU and just get over their hatred of flash. As reviewers have said, the new Full version of flash for mobile may not run *great* on android, but it runs.

Its the same as when the iMac came out with no floppy. Steve Jobs just wanted to kill the floppy sooner, rather than wait for it to die. He's trying to do the same thing with iPhone/iPad. Don't know if it will work, but its annoying for us to be caught in the crossfire.

Though i could care less, i just want AT&T to get a damn Android phone that isn't the backflip!
