With the latest iPhone 4 antenna debacle, it is nice that not all eyes are focused on the negative. Take for example the release of the Motorola Droid X, which is, to date, the most powerful Droid phone released replacing the HTC Incredible. Where this gets interesting is that this Droid phone is poised to be the first smart phone to support Flash.
Which leads me to another comment, and that is Flash 10.1 mobile is now being shipped to device manufacturers around the world including those that provide Symbian, Blackberry, Droid and Windows phone 7. For anyone counting that is 85% of the mobile market, with the iPhone taking only 15% and soon to be the only platform to not support Flash.
You can get the 10.1 prerelease here.
Flash 10.1 has be redesigned from the ground up and supports multi-touch, smart zooming and accelerometer-aided device rotation. It has also been “thoroughly optimized to work with all major chip and mobile platforms.” This means we can expect better battery and power consumption along with better CPU utilization.
Maybe it is time Apple ate a little humble pie, came clean with a no-cost solution to the antenna problem and opened its arms to Flash. One web indeed.
