In a blog post on the Flash 10.2 availability for Android, Adobe Flash Player Team blogger Antonio Flores, said the beta of Flash Player 10.2 for Android 3.0.1+ brings a full web browsing experience, including video, games and other interactive content, to the latest Android tablets.
“We have been working very closely with Google through the development of this beta to ensure tight integration and optimisation between Flash Player 10.2 and new OS and browser capabilities, Flores said.
According to Flores, improvements in this release include:
Flores said Adobe also is working to optimise the interaction between Flash Player and new browser capabilities prior to releasing a production general availability (GA) version of Flash Player 10.2 for Android 3.x in the coming weeks, “at which point we intend to enable hardware acceleration and Stage Video support in the production GA release”. The optimisations are aimed at delivering a better embeddable in-browser experience.
