Flash 10.1 on the Nexus One
I’ve had countless talks with Flash being available on smartphones, and as much as I love Flash I have never seen it working on a mobile device sufficiently. My reason for this is that the player would need to be optimised so much that it didn’t kill your battery, well Flash Evangelist Mark Doherty has recently created a video showing the performance of the 10.1Flash Player on the Nexus One, clearly showing that after a 17 minute video the browser has only used 6% of the battery. This is impressive and nice to see hard evidence of.
I do agree though there are certain factors in this such as the screen being on all of the time to watch the video, the screen brightness and the audio volume. Check out the video below, thanks to Mark Doherty and Engadget
