How ironic. A Flash meetup. While we're waiting for Adobe to fix a major Flash security hole.

Not only that, but also having a "Droid Does Flash" meetup when the most popular Droid phone cannot play flash and the DX hasn't been updated to play flash.

Do you think Verizon and Motorola did this to help find people that may help fix this security mess to meet their estimated time of having the problem fixed?

Well, AFAIK, the Droid 1 is the most popular Droid phone as of right now. And with FRG22D loaded, Flash shows up in the marketplace and works very well. Actually, it works on earlier builds - but does not show up in the market.

You are the minority. I have yet to play a single Flash video that doesn't stutter, stop, or completely fail to load. There is obviously a problem.

Go to ABC.go.com and play an episode of your choice. Report back here when it loads. Ill be on the coffee lounge.

I will say that some smaller flash files work just fine on my D1. But they are so small its no fun to watch.

Is this going to turn into a FLASH WORKS! vs. NO IT DOESN'T!!! pissing contest? Just wondering. Cuz if it becomes a "Let's do some systematic comparisons" thread (like sometimes happens with CPU, battery, etc.) then cool--even if we're all Droid1 owners, it's still an apples-oranges comparison. Otherwise I say meh. :dry:
