Why you should always upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player
by Gary Sims on May 18, 2012 0 Comments">0
It is likely that you have some Adobe software installed on your PC or Mac. It could be Adobe Acrobat Reader, it could be Adobe Air, or it could be Adobe Flash Player. Flash is so popular that Google ships it as a built-in plugin for its Chrome web browser. It is also likely that you have some Adobe software on your Android device, and it would be one (or all) of the same three listed above. All very nice – you can view PDF files on your PC and on your mobile device, you can use Flash on your PC and on your Android phone. But there …
Adobe Releases Security Updates for Flash Player on Android
by Gary Sims on Mar 07, 2012 1 Comments">1
Adobe has released a new version of its Flash Player for Android that fixes some critical security bugs. The new version of Flash, which, incidentally, is also available for Windows, Linux and OS X, fixes security vulnerabilities in Flash Player 11.1.115.6 and earlier versions for Android 4.x, and Flash Player 11.1.111.6 and earlier versions for Android 3.x and 2.x. These vulnerabilities, if exploited, could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected phone or tablet. The update fixes two problems – the first is a memory corruption vulnerability in Matrix3D, a part of Flash which …
According to Adobe, Flash Player coming to Ice Cream Sandwich by Year’s End
by Alexander Maxham on Nov 23, 2011 0 Comments">0
So it looks like Flash is not completely dead. Today, Adobe announced that they will indeed release one more version of Flash which will support Android 4.0 – Ice Cream Sandwich. Even though Adobe announced a few weeks ago that it would no longer develop their mobile version of Flash, and just stick to HTML5. So far the Galaxy Nexus, which is only available in the UK right now, is flash less – unfortunate but most people don’t use it. From Adobe: Adobe will release one more version of the Flash Player for mobile browsing, which will provide support for Android …
Flash Absent in ICS, Galaxy Nexus; Google Says It’s ‘Normal’
by Carl Parker on Nov 21, 2011 2 Comments">2
The Adobe Flash Player, which has been present in Android handsets prior to the Galaxy Nexus, is, surprisingly, not present in the Galaxy Nexus. According to Google, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich does not currently support Flash. Google confirmed to SlashGear the absence of the Flash Player in both the flagship Google phone and its brand-new operating system, Android 4.0. Apparently, Google is waiting for Adobe to update the mobile version of the Flash Player for Android 4.0. Consequently, neither the latest version or the older versions of Flash Player will be available to users of the Galaxy Nexus or …

Flash fix security hole and are set to release Adobe Air?
by James Tromans on Sep 21, 2010 2 Comments">2
It’s a session of good news from Adobe right now. Not only have they fixed the security vulnerability effecting Android devices with Flash, but they may also be set to release a version of Adobe AIR for Android in the not too distant future. I am often asked what Adobe AIR actually is, in particular by gadget enthusiasts who are not super technical. Adobe AIR isn’t just a catchy name; AIR actually stands for something: Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR). So, Adobe Integrated Runtime is an environment that allows one piece of code written on a Windows machine to run perfectly …
Adobe Flash exploit works on Android OS
by James Tromans on Sep 15, 2010 2 Comments">2
PCWorld are reporting that an Adobe spokesperson contacted them very recently to reveal that, “A critical vulnerability exists in Adobe Flash Player 10.1.82.76 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Solaris and Android operating systems. This vulnerability also affects Adobe Reader 9.3.4 for Windows, Macintosh and UNIX, and Adobe Acrobat 9.3.4 and earlier versions for Windows and Macintosh.” It strikes me that this statement could have been shortened to read, “Right now, a critical vulnerability exists in Adobe Flash Player for pretty much all devices and all versions”. But hey, you gotta be specific on these matters, right? The vulnerability …

Adobe has finally made available its Flash Player 10.1 to Google’s N1 users that are running Android 2.2 Froyo. Beta versions have long been available to N1 users via the Android Market, but now users can get a broader scope of Flash support for things like video, games, and more. [via IntoMobile]
Adobe announced Flash for Droid 2, HTC Evo, HTC Desire and more
by James Tromans on Aug 12, 2010 1 Comments">1
Adobe have recently released an official video outlining the release of Flash 10.1 for the Droid 2, out-of-the-box. The reason why this is a big deal because it will be the first time Flash is available out-of-the-box on an Android handset. This obviously gives the end-user a far richer web-experience. The video reveals CBS and CNET flash elements and Adobe reiterate the ‘full power of the Flash player, just like on your desktop’. Of course, games are not excluded either, and the video shows Sims 3 for a short period of time. Flash 10.1 is expected to start making its …

by Michelle Ruhfass on Jun 29, 2010 1 Comments">1
HTC has confirmed that it will be updating at least three of its Android smartphones, the Wildfire, Legend, and Desire, with Android 2.2 Froyo in Q3 of this year. Android 2.2 will offer greatly increased speed for applications and web browsing due to a brand new “virtual machine” for apps and Javascript engine for the web browser. Apps will run 2 to 5 times faster than with Android 2.1, and the web browser’s Javascript support will be 2 to 3 times faster as well. Adobe Flash 10.1 (and Air) support will be included in the update. [via Mobile Burn]
Flash 10.1 now ready for Android
by James Tromans on Jun 22, 2010 1 Comments">1
In another piece of hotly anticipated news, Adobe have confirmed that the complete Flash 10.1 for Android is now ready and will also be shipped to other platforms soon. This news comes amid controversy between Adobe, Apple and Google, whereby Apple publically condemned Flash as an ‘out-dated’ technology and subsequently confirmed that they would block it from the iPhone and iPad. Google make numerous references to the fact that Android will and does support Flash and this is certainly something they have used in the past to get one over on Apple. However, despite this fact, they are working hard …

With so much buzz going around regarding the new Motorola Droid devices, we thought it was a good opportunity to do a round of of everything you need to know. Starting things off, there are two new ‘Droid’ branded devices coming soon. Verizon is set to announce the ‘Droid X’ on the June 23 and this particular device should launch on July 19. The announcement will come at a keynote event hosted primarily by Verizon and Motorola, but Google and Adobe will also be at the event. So what do we know about these two new devices?

Adobe Reader for Android
by James Tromans on May 25, 2010 1 Comments">1
Adobe has recently launched the official Adobe Reader for Android application. This is really something you ought to pick up, and is available in the Android Market. The only criteria is that your phone is running Android 2.1 or greater and it has at least 256 MB of RAM and a 550 MHz processor. Bad luck early adopters! For those that own a Nexus One, you will know that it already has a document viewer thanks for the folks over at Quickoffice. Depending on your affiliations, you might find that Quickoffice doesn’t actually do a wonderful job at viewing PDF …
Video: Adobe Android tablet running Flash and AIR
by James Tromans on May 05, 2010 0 Comments">0
Down at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco, some guys from Zedomax.com came across the Adobe booth and upon inspection, stumbled across an Adobe example prototype Android tablet running Flash and AIR ‘flawlessly’. This prototype tablet seems to have been running Android 2.1 to boot. It runs Adobe’s Flash and Air apps flawlessly. That was the first time I saw Adobe’s Air apps running on a tablet and totally impressed by how it ran. And now I can understand why Apple wants to ban Flash and other Adobe products completely from their iPhones and iPads, because it’s rather incredible …
