With Apple and Adobe trading blows over the use of Flash in mobile applications, evangelizing to outside partners will be key. Unfortunately for Adobe, a demonstration by Ryan Stewart during Flash Camp of the Eco Zoo website using Flash Player 10.1 on his Google Nexus One went disastrously.
“The site’s progress bar filled in and the 3D world appeared for a few seconds before the browser crashed,” wrote Jeff Croft, a Seattle developer. “Stewart tried it again and got the same result. So he said to the audience: ‘Well, this one isn’t going to work, but does anyone have a Flash site they’d like to see running ‘ Someone shouted ‘Hulu,’ but Stewart said that Hulu doesn’t work, and wrapped up his demo.”
The Android version of Flash is still in beta form, but it needs to demonstrate clearly that it’s up to snuff with H.264 breathing down its neck.
