Comrades still need to try out Android version of the Flash 10.1 report

Flash really suitable for mobile devices? this is almost the year's most controversial a topic, bring people clear-cut is divided into two factions: those that visionary Steve Jobs said yes, Flash is not suitable for mobile devices, particularly inappropriate touch operation of a new generation of mobile products.

Another is that each other is a powder that is Steve Jobs marketing blind eyes, cross-platform common Flash following the PC will lead the mobile era of network multimedia wave.

Recently, with the Android version of the Flash Player 10.1 officially released, we finally can present the most popular smart phones on personally verify the effects of the Flash mobile.

Laptop magazine recently on the world's first Android pre-installed Flash cell phone: Motorola Droid 2 a trial, but only to disappoint them. Author in the article at the beginning, the distinctive bright out his views:

"When Steve Jobs say Flash is outdated, I'm afraid is the world's last one willing to believe him.

Open letter to Steve Jobs at the accused: ' Flash closed and privatization, there were serious technical flaws, and does not support the touch device '. For me it all just a knowledgeable salesperson talks. But when I play with the first versions of Flash Player 10.1 Android handset Motorola Droid 2.2 system 2, can only regret that the recognition of Steve jobs. Adobe will give us too little, too late. ”

First of all to look at the mobile Flash video, this is a lot of people call Flash landing the best smart phone.

To achieve the best results, the test to download the Android market Abobe Flash in "showcase for mobile", which is Adobe recommended mobile version Flash site list. Among them, the Sony film's trailer site most excellent, all results are based on the Flash movie trailers can be smooth fullscreen playback. But in other Web sites, Flash TV show while it is possible to play, but could not be achieved, particularly in full-screen mode.

Can cell phone online play TV, which itself had become quite excited.

But when testers landing those did not Adobe recommended list website, excited immediately turned down. United States Broadcasting Corporation television programming on the Web site went through a 5-minute load times, page almost stuck, and in the end is displayed directly load error unable to play the video. Fox TV website the House doctor "fragment playable, but even in the WiFi networks or as a slide. Click on the pause during playback, volume, etc buttons don't have the reaction, and the following prompt will pop up: "this video is not optimized for mobile devices." Flash 10.1 isn't to eliminate between mobile and desktop divide and health?

Video is not optimized for mobile devices

Although the Droid owned 1GHz processor, 2 512MB memory of a hardware configuration, but in Flash video playback, drag the page to see other parts of the almost impossible.

Users of most touch operation is delayed for more than a few seconds, or even directly without response. If you want to get rid of this proximity card die situation, only press the return or the home key to exit the browser program. One second later, the phone will regain a speedy response capacity.

Sony Web site provide smooth playing, part of the website, other websites lead to intermittent system on the verge of card die.

The difference is that the video site is optimized for mobile phone play. However, the advantages of Flash is the compatibility and interoperability. If Internet millions of Flash video also need specifically for the mobile version is optimized, and duplicate as HTML 5 video are the differences?, in fact, the same in the phone, which is a non-Flash mobile device optimized for HTML 5 video Web site user experience has been quite perfect, almost and Desktop Edition.

The following to see how Flash landing phone another focus application: the game.

When testers try to access those famous Droid 2 Flash game site, such as "Newgrounds" or "Addicting Games", the feeling just as Steve Jobs had prophecy said: "Flash is to use the mouse to control the design of the PC, not to use your finger to the operation of the touch screen. "Many of these website Flash game loaded slowly, also causes the system to respond slowly, drag the page and click on will become very difficult. Worse, even if completed loading, most games are also unable to operate correctly. Because the vast majority of Flash game actions are dependent on the keyboard, even with the Droid 2 sliding QWERTY keyboard under, problems still exist: a shooting game which requires the use of the CTRL key and, another is required press the left mouse button.

Finally, testers or came to Adobe recommended website list of Mochi Games, Flash games and finally to achieve touch operation.

One zombie shooting game "Blood Red" to touch screen, however click bullets flying, will soon be "Game Over", testers still do not understand is a Flash problem, or their own hand-eye coordination.

In addition to video, and landing mobile Flash game, bring you the greatest benefit is to provide a complete Web page instead of the square is filled with a blank page.

This ideal is absolutely not wrong, but in the current Android version of Flash, ideal and reality there is no small distances. Flash plug-in is enabled, the browser loads the site difficult for many. Testers spent 45 minutes, but somehow unable to open the New York Times Web site home page, the Laptop to the Web site's home page will download some Flash ads and Flash video player component card died and some auto-play Flash video sites will even direct cause program crash.

Although met above all sorts of problems, testers think Adobe will PC Web experience to mobile phone practices or praiseworthy.

Users can finally see the cell phone Flash Web content. Sometimes, this experience has been quite perfect, for example, Adobe recommends the site list of South Park avatar Builder:

Unfortunately, the vast majority of users do not like the evaluation officer, senior players that have the patience to endure these bugs and compatibility issues.

When a middle-aged women because open Flash video site result in cell phone panic, or discovery page stealing food only supports the mouse does not support touch, no matter her to call customer service or your son, I am afraid that the recommendations are the most simple way: the Flash plugin to disable it.

If Adobe can't make mobile version Flash efficient support network on all Flash content, it's at least going to give the user a cancel download Flash content options, begins to load after the pop-up "this video is not optimized for mobile devices" information, or direct card dead browser, this is definitely not a can let ordinary users accepted practice.

More importantly, other technology is rapidly developing, trying to replace Flash, Adobe need better products to tell you that Flash in the mobile age is still a necessity.

Otherwise, the Player with Flash now Android flagship handset 10.1 on performance, it will soon be like the floppy drive as being thrown into the Museum of history of science and technology. You know, was Steve Jobs the demise of the floppy drive is predicted.
