Google’s Eric Schmidt and Eric Tseng show Flash Player running on Nexus One


At the Mobile World Congress 2010 Google’s CEO Eric Schmidt discusses the incredible browsing experiences coming to the Android platform. As EricT states, a critical component currently missing on mobile devices is Flash Player.  As members of the Open Screen Project we are working with Google to bring Flash Player and AIR to Android devices, enabling an open ecosystem connecting developers with consumers.

Of course the demo demons were in attendance, but ultimately Eric was able to show video and gaming experiences running beautifully on Android. Of course gaming experiences on the web are largely created in Flash, in fact some 75% of online games run on the Flash Platform.

Later in the year it will be possible to mix and match your distribution and monetization models using Adobe AIR on Android, and repackage those applications for Apple devices targeting the AppStore.

    It’s a great time to be a Flash developer!

    Is there any info on the differences between Flash Player 10.1 and Flash Lite 4? I know FP 10.1 is the next version of FP for desktop, that can run on select smartphones. I would assume that FL 4 is specific to cellphones. I guess the confusion is the hype has be all this talk about FP 10.1 on Android phones, etc. I can’t find anything about Flash Lite 4 (accept that it will be coded using AS3).

    So, can we get more info on these two soon to be released updates? =D

    Thanks,

    iBrent

    Hi Brent, Some lower end devices will ship with Flash Lite due to restricted hardware capabilities and to take care of our legacy, and enable web browsing on feature phones. It will not be supported by Adobe as a developer targeted runtime.
