I think that most of them are on 2.3.X Gingerbread. I skipped that one. I was stuck on 2.2 Frozen Yogurt until I traded my Droid 1 for this Galaxy Nexus and jumped straight to ICS.
Of course, as soon as I can lay my hands on that Google Glass thing, I'm going to get it. I've been telling people that what they now call "Augmented Reality" is going to be awesome. It's when the Interwebs finally get interesting.
Flash was a completely unusable technology on mobile devices. Those who were bringing up this argument were just desperately searching for an excuse to pee on Apple products.
Actually, if I understand it correctly, it was Adobe that dropped Flash support for Android. From the sounds of it, they're probably moving towards dropping the mobile market for Flash entirely, in favour of their app-like Adobe AIR platform.
If it has Flash you have to install Flashblock. I'll wait till they sort it out before I spend money on one. Adobe *thinks* they're on-the-ball with security by osmosis because Symantic is down the street.
Dave H, as somebody who manages and hires Java programmers, I can tell you that good Java programmers are not a dime a dozen. They are pretty hard to find.
Android has dropped flash support. I guess Apple was just ahead of the curve.
ReplyDeleteEchoing Alan, I was just reading that Android's 4.1 (Jellybean) is dropping Flash.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like I will have to uninstall my Flash software before my Galaxy Nexus updates sometime this month.
But at least it's not an Apple product.
Since everyone is still on Android 2.1, they should have flash support for 2 more phone refresh cycles.

Adobe is ten years behind Microsoft when it comes to security, yet they want everybody to switch to their AIR platform.
ReplyDeleteSnort.
It reminds me of embedded Java, except Java has one point in its favor - programmers for it are a dime a dozen.
