Flash 10.2 - Available Now 6 days early :D

For the less up-to-date people like me I've borrowed this text from Venturebeat.com which explains what it does nicely:-

"The next major update for Flash on Android mobile devices, version 10.2, will hit the Android Market on March 18, Adobe announced today.

That’s good news for owners of Motorola’s Xoom tablet, as it launched without Flash support two weeks ago. As the first device running Android 3.0 “Honeycomb” on the market, the Xoom landed too early for Adobe to release an updated version of Flash for that OS. Flash 10.2 fixes that.

The update brings Flash support to Android 3.0 devices, and it will upgrade previous Flash software on Android 2.2 and 2.3 phones and tablets. Motorola says that the Android 3.0 version of Flash 10.2 will be a beta release, meaning it’s still a work in progress.

Flash 10.2 features better speed improvements on newer phones and tablets running dual core processors, including the Xoom, Motorola Atrix, and LG Optimus 2X. It will also be able to take advantage of graphics accelerated rendering of Flash videos, games, and other content. The updated Flash also brings exclusive features to Android 3.0, including hardware acceleration for high-definition videos (which will reduce CPU stress), and deeper integration with Android’s web browser rendering engine — which will speed up web page scrolling and will allow Flash content to run right in the browser.

Adobe has also included improved software keyboard support, which will let developers better optimize Flash applications that require keyboard inputs for mobile touchscreen interfaces.

Adobe didn’t say when Flash 10.2 would land on other mobile platforms, most of which are still waiting for Flash 10.1 appear. The company previously said that Flash will be available on BlackBerry, Windows Phone 7, WebOS, and Symbian platforms, but thus far it has only managed to deliver a beta release for WebOS.

As Adobe continues to improve its support for Flash on mobile devices, and as mobile hardware steadily improves, Apple’s arguments against including Flash in the iPhone and iPad — mainly, that it’s a battery and performance hog — are beginning to seem increasingly trivial. It may not happen this year, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple ends up embracing some form of Flash in the future."

Its F***ing incredible :(

Great news Wobbly but are you sure this download source is reliable i.e. what is the 'surprise' flash name all about ? :(

Maybe I can wait till the pucker version comes out on the Market but I'd be interested to hear how you get on .... it would be nice if someone with two Vegas (yes there are some) could do side by side comparison between 10.1 and 10.2 and report/video the difference.

Was a bit dubious about the surpriseflash title but ploughed on through and it seems kosha. Having just instaled 10.1last night and been dismayed at the lip sync issues in iplayer, this has made a massive improvement. It's not perfect but at least when people stop talking their lips stop moving at approximately the same time!!

I'd go for it, what is there to lose.

For anyone who is worried, I'd cite wobblydoggy as a "reliable source" any day. Installed this without even checking. Nice work mate, thanks a lot :(

I'd put the artefacts down to the 1.09 rom i don't think they will be visible when advent update the rom (1.10 or 3.0) to adapt to the 10.2 new flash :( its a shot in the dark but i'm fairly certain it's just a vega thing and advent will release a software update to accomodate

You can't knock the quality/speed improvement though it's miles better!

One thing I've noticed is that when watching Aljazeera through Dolphin HD browser Flash pops up a message saying 'This video is not optimised for mobile' soon after the feed starts. Have checked the User Agent setting and it's set to Desktop currently. Don't recall seeing this message before I updated to 10.2 so was wondering if anyone else has noticed this and what the implications might be?

EDIT:- Forget the above message have just reverted to 10.1 to check this out and sure enough it still appears for some reason :(

No offence meant to you Wobblydoggy, "reliable source" was aimed at the file hosting sites rather than yourself. Was unsure if you had uploaded the file or not.......
