An evangelist for Adobe would choose the most powerful Android smartphone to use as the hardware for showing off Flash 10.1 running FroYo, but what did you expect, an HTC G1? More »

From Ziggytek: It has been a long and painful journey, but Adobe has finally given Flash 10.1 to its mobile platform partners using the following operating systems: “Android, BlackBerry, webOS, Windows Phone 7 Series, LiMo, MeeGo and Symbian.” Flash 10.1 on Android requires 2.2 FroYo, which is unofficially available for Google’s Nexus One and will be run on many Android smartphones by Q4 of this year. Adobe had kept its supporters waiting, but now the “F” ball is in their courts. Let the hunt for crashes, bugs, and security holes begin. The iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch will be spared from Flash 10.1’s havoc. More »

To confound and frustrate fans some more, Verizon had mistakenly - just like the commercial slides leak - proclaimed that its forthcoming Motorola Droid X had a “720p display.” The unforgivable typo has been corrected, but fanboy hearts everywhere remain broken. More »

Before the end of the year, Motorola will have an Android 2.2 FroYo smartphone that is powered by a 2GHz processor (battery life grimaces) with NVIDIA’s Tegra chip. Stateside, Motorola has kept fairly quiet in the midst of paramount launches from closest Android rival HTC, but with the Droid Xtreme, Droid 2, and the 2GHz model set for Q3-Q4 releases, the American phone corporation should strike back intensely.

From Ziggytek: Back in the ’90s, controlling television meant ruling the world. Google owns the internet, so branching out to TV is logical. Google TV works with existing cable networks by way of Google TV televisions (Sony has signed on), Logitech’s Google TV Companion Box, and even Blu-Ray players. More »

The good news is that Adobe Flash 10.1 beta is ready to download over-the-air for Android 2.2 FroYo phones, but the catch is that no smartphone runs 2.2 yet, and that Eclair and older Android builds no longer support 10.1! More »

From Ziggytek: Ryan Stewart’s Adobe Flash 10.1 video demonstration is in fact running off Google’s unreleased Android 2.2 “Froyo” operating system. Not only will the latest Android OS be manifold faster than Eclair 2.1, but it will also have USB tethering and a Wi-Fi hotspot feature. More »

From Ziggytek: Make it “Photo and Video of the Day.” What you are staring at is rumored to be Google’s Android 2.2 “Froyo” operating system running on a Nexus One. One of the benefits (or blights, depending on your allegiances) of Google’s next smartphone OS is that Adobe Flash 10.1 is integrated. If this clip is genuine and is not simply a modified Android 2.1 or earlier ROM (I am not cognizant of an existing Android ROM that can run full Flash this well), then Ryan Stewart, the video’s uploader and self-professed Adobe “evangelist,” makes a cogent argument for Flash and Froyo.

From Ziggytek: Pertaining to tablets, we have been bamboozled before. We have been fed vaporware and delayed products that were awful when finally released. Who knew that creating a good tablet was so challenging! Here is another hopeful from China. aigo Patriot’s N700 is a 7″ Android 2.1 slate with the brawny duo-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 chip, Flash 10.1, and multi-touch. More »

In another move that could be (erroneously) construed as anti-Apple, Adobe, as part of its Flash 10.1 for Android development promotion, will be giving its employees free Android 2.1 smartphones –presumably either the Nexus One or Motorola Droid. I would not anticipate that the Droid Incredible is the giveaway phone since it is nearly sold out at vendors, and Google loves to hand out its Nexus One like it is a Tic-Tac. More »
