Despite Apple having their obvious dislike towards Adobe’s popular Flash platform and their disinterest of ever pushing support to their mobile iPhone operating system, Adobe pushes forward, confident that the platform will live on in mobile form while also embracing HTML5, an emerging alternative to Flash. Android, in particular, has been recieving a lot of buzz as talks over bringing Flash to Google’s platform has come to light.
Well, Adobe has just announced that they have released the Flash 10.1 beta for Android, effectively making all Android powered devices capable of rendering Flash content. This means, if all goes well, you will be streaming Flash video and playing free Flash games on your Android handset soon enough.
However, Adobe does have some strict requirements for the Flash 10.1 beta that is sure to keep it out of the hands of many consumers for the time being, at least. First of all, you’re going to need Android 2.2, codenamed Froyo, to run the Flash 10.1 beta at all as Adobe says the APIs required to run the software are only available in 2.2 and not earlier versions. This should be an obvious requirement as it was announced in the recent past that Google would be allowing Flash capabilities with Android version 2.2.
The Flash 10.1 beta for Android will be available as a download through the Android Marketplace for devices that do not support Flash out of the box but Adobe assures us that they will be working with as many handset manufacturers as possible to gaurantee Flash capabilities out of the box.
Unfortunately, if you’re looking to watch your favorite TV shows with Hulu, you’ll be disaponted to hear that the service is blocked on Android due to issues with licensing. However, as more and more Android powered handsets become Flash enabled, Hulu is sure to push out support for the emerging platform.
