Adobe Kills Flash for the Milestone/Droid!

my Motorola Droid handles Adobe Flash Player very good!

 

I think Adobe just want to make sure that the devices they are choosing to support have the hardware to not just run Flash, but to run it well. Why give Jobs an excuse to slam them for poor performance on Android? That being said my Droid runs it just fine, but it is overclocked to 1.2 Ghz. I don't have any experience running it on the Droid's stock kernel.

I don't like their choice here, but I can see why they made it.

 

I don't understand. I have not tweaked my Droid and I was able to download and run Flash after the last update. Article makes it sound like I wasn't supposed to get it...

 

Listen I'm with you on your point here, but the decision is not one that is up to Moto, Verizon, or you and me. Adobe is making this call. They were just on the Android Guys or one Android Central podcast, I can't recall which one it was, but they were addressing this very issue. I delete them after I listen so I wish I could tell you which it was, but I believe it was the last episode of one or the other.

 

I don't get it, I'm not rooted just running stock with Flash installed. Last night I watched an old episode of Big Brother, 46 minutes, not a skip or interruption. I go to websites that used to not work for me and see the Flash content. I get emails with images that used to not open, that open fine now.

What about it doesn't work?

 

i certainly welcome the ability to run flash on my droid, but at stock speeds viewing a website with two or more flash advertisements is slow.
anyway, does this announcement mean that flash will be unavailable for updated (frg22/froyo 2.2) droid 1 users?

 

Same here, unrooted Droid 1 running FRG22D; got Flash from the Market after the last update and it works fine.

I wouldn't really worry about it. I can't imagine them removing your ability to run it on your Droid. From what I remember those stats were just the suggested minimums.
