Today Adobe unleashed the beta of their Flash
10.2 for Android. It's supported on Froyo,
Gingerbread and Honeycomb devices and
promises seriously faster performance.
This is still just a beta and it's expected to have
some bugs. But still, an increase in streaming
performance is visible and it's well worth it to try
the update out. Let's refresh your memory about the upgrades the Flash player 10.2 brings. Playing a YouTube
video at 480p is still hit-and-miss, while a 720p
clip is unwatchable. Also if you guys remember
an update came out not that long ago for the Motorola Xoom, which Motorola claims is
required for the coming Flash 10.2 update. Adobe promises to fix all this with a more
polished version of the update, which will be
coming soon. Right now the hardware
acceleration of the Xoom is actually turned off
and should be enabled with the next release. The Beta update also promises to bring increased
performance to dual-core Android devices,
running on versions 2.2 and 2.3. Not to mention a
leap in performance on the Android 3.0 for
tablets. The latter should be able to stream
seamlessly 720p HD quality with the final version of the Flash 10.2. This will seriously put the heat
on the new iPad 2, in our opinion. Older single-core smartphones should get a
performance increase too, so don't think you're
left out if you own a previous generation droid. There's no word on the update availability yet,
but the beta should hit the Android Market any
minute now. When it does, be sure to check it
out, we know we will.
