Adobe shows off Flash support on the HTC Hero
Mmmmm, Flash. As part of the Open Screen Project, Adobe is actively working with developers and manufacturers to make feature-rich Flash content accessible on mobile devices. In its latest achievement tied to this morning’s announcement, Adobe demos Flash support on the brand-spanking new HTC Hero — the first Android device to support Flash (officially). In short, it’s smooth, sexy and usable. Adobe’s Adrian Ludwig shows off the Hero’s Android Web browser and its ability to gobble up Flash-based video, Flash objects on web pages and even Flash-based games. There is one line in particular from the demo video that grabbed our attention though: “This is one of the first devices out there that has really great flash capabilities.” Ouch. No love for S60 handsets? Maemo tablets? Fair enough. Hit the read link to check out the demo and prepare to drool over the Hero even more than you already did this morning.
This phone is looking more and more like an actual iphone killer. Where killer means hands down better than.
that damn chin needs to go. OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE!?!
I like it…I just want to rip off the bottom portion. I guess I’m just one of the people who can’t stand the stupid “chins”. To me, it just looks out of place; the entire front side around the screen has a nice finish, then they make the chin a cheap looking plastic. It will probably look better in person though, because the entire backside has that same white plastic look.
If ever there was a phone that could possibly make an person get rid of their iPhone, this is it. I want it – of course, pending it makes it to the US somehow.
so who cares about that mytouch thingy anymore?
carrier?
AHEM… RIM…. Hint.
I mean with the Flash and all…
“Maemo tablets?”
The N810 supports Flash. I used Pandora and YouTube all the time.
Alright, I just switched to the new iPhone even though I did not want to switch to AT&T. Will Verizon carry this phone?
@Ervel Flick that was the point………
@Switched2iPhone,
Haaaaa no it won’t. It has wifi and a bunch features that aren’t as easily lockable to be charged for access.

@steveglandboy
what would we do without you. I thought my omnia was accessing wifi in my house and at work. Silly me, you’ve set me straight! You get the present of yet another cincinnati bowtie! what other features of my phone are locked out by the evil geniuses of vzw? should we all migrate to the ipoop and att, where every function is open!
How bout GPS? That’s not locked either right?
@ Scrofula
How does GPS work on your Omnia? Let me link you to the BGR article below this one.

Seems to me the Omnia GPS is still locked.
Anyone have a link for this demo direct to youtube. or even the tittle of the vid so it can be searched?
Of course it still is you moron, at least for another couple of days. Everyone knows that at least officially it is not so much locked as it is disabled. No one ever promised stand-alone gps would work on the i910. Of course I’m never lost, so why do I care about it except as a gee whiz toy. All of you clowns who call yourselves “men” should be ashamed about being lost all the time! So which would be more useful, standalone gps or mms? What makes you idiots claim the wifi is broken? It’s just lies by jealous wankers.
im glad we know what carrier its gonna be on
Nice and sweet RIM when are we gonna get flash on our Berries too???

EQUAL RIGHTS FOR CHINS! WE ARE ALL CHINS!
Where’s the Flash when we’re trying to watch cakefarts.com at work without a computer? Some day a US carrier phone will catch up with the rest of the world…nope, always 2 years behind.
Just be ready for all those flash based ads that slows down things.
I think mobile devices can live without Flash.
