Adobe Kills Flash for the Milestone/Droid!

[aaf709]

Just installed the 22D update this morning which I thought was supposed to allow me to download Flash from the Market.

Perfect.

Have you tried to find it in the Market? If you haven't you can try clearing the cache in the Market app. It also can take an hour for it to appear.

this is exactly the type of crap I thought would happen when they started coming out with new droids, the original would stop being supported, neglected. I was told by a verizon rep that was true. bull****, im so pissed off at how verizon and motorola are handling the original droid and its owners.

I have the same complaint about my '57 Chevy, my '03 Honda Valkyrie, and my '04 Mazda.

Are you just figuring out the term "planned obsolescence?"

What some people here are forgetting is that Motorola treats the Milestone differently than it does the Droid. Essentially they are the same phone, but the Milestone has always had to wait longer for updates, had a locked bootloader, and was overall marketed and sold as a different phone. So while Adobe may have said the Milestone 1 isn't capable of running Flash, they didn't specifically say that the Droid 1 was capable.

And this is why many stick with the iPhone, because you feel like you have a new product for 3 years. Not trying to start a flame war, but it's one thing apple has over us Droid owners

Wow, that's intelligent. Like nothing ever gets out dated. I have a 900 MHz processor computer from Toshiba, I can't run Windows 7. Should I scream at Toshiba or at Microsoft. After all, it must be a consipiracy.

I also have BB Tour, it cannot run the new RIM OS 6.0. But, I can't blame either Verizon or RIM. New software sometimes requires different hardware. It's a fact of life. If you don't get over it, you will be bitter about any updates that won't work for you.

More to life to worry about than flash on an Adroid phone.

What a bunch of drama queens up in this thread! My hell almighty! Get a life!

I'll bet half you whining idiots haven't even checked the market to see if the app is there or not. I don't have a stock droid, so I can't verify that it is or isn't there. But all my friends who have stock droids have Adobe Flash 10.1.

Get with it, actually read the thread instead of making assumptions off the first post, and quit yer whining!

Please excuse the ignorance on my part, How does one know if they have a Milestone Droid vs a newer model. Could Verizon hold back some of these Milestones and then just slip them in the shipments of new buyers.

have the hardware to not just run Flash, but to run it well.

That is the right answer. End of story.

Didn't we get a bump to 800mhz on the froyo release?
I remember this verizon rom was only rooted and otherwise untouched-with it clocked at 800. am i delusional?

The person who rooted the rom might have enhanced the kernal somehow. Or i think i saw something a week or so ago saying that with froyo the droid could be overclocked with set cpu as long as the rom was rooted so you didnt need a custom kernal.
