I am fed up with listening to all the broken promises. Gave android a chance but it was released in beta and still has so many wrinkles its not worth it. If it weren’t for the sync of contacts I would have put my g1 under the wheel of my car. Home-W is the only way to fix some problems. I’m going windows mobile next. At least I know where to go to when something goes wrong.

Well i just purchased a HTC Sprint Hero on Oct 24, and LOW AND BEHOLD… IT DOES NOT PLAY ANYTHING THAT’S A FLASH 10 RELEASE!… WOW… they don’t tell you this info when you sign Sprint’s 2 YEAR CONTRACT!.. Other than that, its a GREAT Phone, but the sales reps cautiously only browse to sites using outdated flash players that the HTC Flash player can handle… Pretty sneaky marketing ploy! Way to go SPRINT! Now pressure ADOBE OR ANDROID TO COME UP WITH A PLAYER UPDATE THAT PLAYS FLASH 10.1 PLAYER before 2010 is over. ITS OCTOBER and only 2 months left before 2010. What’s it going to take. A 2010 Monolith appearing on Jupiter with NEW TECHNOLOGY before we can enjoy our purchase? The newer phone technology will be out by the time we find out if version 10.1 player is available and if it works. I’M still searching for a solution to this issue on the web. Ever heard the phrase….”BAD ROBOT!”

Yeah, it’s extremely disappointing that there still support yet. It takes time, but we’re coming up on a year. Oh well, Android is still a great product.

flash player lite is available on the htc hero from sprint already, all u got to do is just update your firmware from your phone .Beware though the full adobe flash player 10 is not available yet,its only the adobe flash lite right.but hey its better than nothing

Looks like Apple was right after all. Not only has YouTube released a beta of its site in HTML5, but Vimeo has just released its HTML5 player. Face it, Flash is dead. If Android is really about open standards, then HTML5 is the way to go.

So let me get this straight, I have an archos 5 internet media tablet but can’t watch flash videos because they don’t have an update for android
