Flash Player 10.1 on Google Nexus One
1 year ago
Thibault Imbert and Michael Chaize demonstrate the power of the new Flash PLayer 10.1 on the Google Nexus One. I apologize for my bad battery management shooting the video. For those who wants to see how the battery reacts playing Flash content on the Google Nexus One, please check that blog post: flashmobileblog.com/2010/02/24/battery-performance-with-flash-player-10-1-on-nexus-one/

But... waouuu
The battery issue? Well if i'm being objective and not an Apple fanboy I'd say that it 'jumped' from a half reading to a quarter reading. It's possible the nexus battery indicator has only 4 states, full, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4 and then is empty. Can anyone confirm? It could have therefore in the video been nearly down to 1/4 when it showed as 1/2, if that makes sense.
But I'd love to see more testing. Surely Flash would have to drain the battery pretty massively fast. Can you switch it off/disable flash on the nexus 1? I hope so. Pity about the screen being such poor quality though I'd rather they used a normal LCD the technology is far more mature/accurate.
... and I thought steve jobs was exaggerating when he said the ipad would only last 1.5 hours if it would play the flash elements. thanks but no thanks, I don't want that on my phone/tablet.
funny presentation, though!
So, what's the use of Flash if all you can get to is the first screen (right after "Skip Intro...")?
That said, you're right. All the Flash applications are not optimized for the "Touch experience", and developers need to redesign the UI to handle these new kinds of interactions. The Multitouch class in the ActionScript 3 API can tell you if you run your application with a Touch device or not.
I'm curious to see who will eventually win: Apple with their stubborn pursuit of Flash-less browsing (apparently, YouTube, Vimeo and Hulu are already offering Flash-less experience, because of Apple), or Adobe, pouring more money and effort into streamlining Flash and providing proper multi-touch API? I'm reluctant to bet against Steve Jobs these days...
Apple's solution seems to be to make developers re-program their site to not use flash at all.
That a whole lot more work than modifying for multi-touch.
You should be prepared for a flood of comments from iPhone fans. Your video was featured on MDN (MacDailyNews), with a special attention drawn to the battery icon (changing from half to one quarter). They all seem to see this as a proof how much of a resource hog Flash is.
As you (and most other people) know, there's this fringe group of Apple fans that is very vocal and devoted to their cause. Many seem to have already voiced their opinion above...
When you factor in all the other things on top of what you do day in and day out on your phone this level of performance is unacceptable.
And Steve Jobs was right for not including flash on the iphone. Yet everyone else was say that he was wrong. Eat crow.
If your argument is your iphone lasts longer because you don't go to sites that have flash on them .... that's not a real argument.
You could do the same thing with the Nexus One and get just as good battery performance.
You're not being honest now. FAIL
FAIL
I want this on my Nex1...please tell me when ??????? :-)
I will publish my own demonstration asap.
Thanks guys.
(can you specify the album/track? I can't tell which one Charlotte song it is.) Thanks!
IRM / Greenwich Mean Time by Charlotte Gainsbourg
Nice song! I'm a new fan :)
