#Flash 10 for Android, Leaks #Android 2.2 Upgrades
Posted by ParaCAD @ 8:27 am in Android Apple News iPad iPhone iPod Touch.
Adobe today started shipping Flash 10.1 for Mobile. The initial release is targeted at devices running Android 2.2 and, initially, will only work with the Nexus One. However, it did inadvertently confirm a number of Android 2.2 upgrades for a handful of other devices that would let them run Flash, including the Dell Streak, Motorola's Droid and Milestone, HTC's Desire, Droid Incredible and Evo 4G, and the Samsung Galaxy S.
The company is noticeably low-key on its other platform releases and says it has handed Flash 10.1 to hardware and OS makers for BlackBerry OS, LiMo, MeeGo, Symbian, webOS and Windows Phone 7, but wouldn't say when it expected these to ship. It only anticipated releases in both over-the-air and preloaded installs over the "coming months."
The launch nonetheless represents Adobe's first opportunity to live up to its promises for Flash on mobile platforms, which have seen the release delayed by several months or more. Flash 10.1 has needed several optimizations to reduce its overhead on phones and tablets; the plugin only loads when Flash content is visible on the page, shuts down when switching tasks, and can automatically curb processor or memory use for content that isn't efficient.
Apple is the notable holdout on Flash and has argued that the tricks so far aren't enough to make it effective. This may have been proven in a recent hands-on test as the beta made Android 2.2 the slowest platform for web browsing even though its processor and OS would otherwise have made it one of the fastest.

This is very interesting news. So what are you're thought on this readers? Adobe has released Flash 10.1 to the many mobile platforms available. Of course Android fans are excited about this update and will take full advantage of it.
But we still see no love for Apple, since Steve Jobs is dead set on HTML5 and will not allow Flash on his iDevices.
As I was typing this short paragraph here, I recalled a letter on the Apple site from Jobs, that decribed in detail his thoughts on why no Flash. Give it a read, then leave your comments below....Thoughts on Flash
#uTorrent Launches Remote Control for #iPhone
Posted by ParaCAD @ 9:56 am in Apps iPhone iPod Touch.
BitTorrent Inc. has made the remote access ‘web’ feature of its Falcon client iPhone compatible. uTorrent users can now remotely control their downloads from wherever they are with their iPhone. Torrents can be added, paused and removed using an interface with a look and feel identical to that of the uTorrent application.
The Falcon release is one of the main pillars for uTorrent’s future. Among other things, it allows users to access their downloads from anywhere through a secure web interface. A few weeks ago the uTorrent ‘web’ feature opened up to the public and today the team announced that support for the iPhone has been added.
“In our ever-connected world, users want the ability to control their torrents on the go anytime, anywhere. So, in a continued effort to make our products more accessible we are introducing µTorrent Web for iPhone,” says Simon Morris, BitTorrent’s VP of Product Management.

Smokescreen allows Flash content on iPhone, iPad and iPod #Smokescreen #iPhone #iPod #iPad
Posted by rudeboy @ 10:09 pm in iPad iPhone iPod Touch.Chris Smoaks is working on a solution to view Flash content on the iPhone, iPad and other iDevices. Smoke Screen works in the browser, reads SWF binaries and 'converts' them to animated SVG. Flash-based banner ads appear to work fine, but on web sites with Flash videos and games the performance is subpar.
On Smokescreen.us are two examples of banners. There was already a different solution for Flash sites on your iPhone to view: Cloud Browse. This is an application where the Flash web sites are sent to a server which 'converts' the Flash ot a format the iPhone can handle.

Cnectd Beta – IM App For All (Or Most) Platforms #iPhone #BlackBerry #Android #Cnectd
Posted by J K @ 8:57 am in Android Apps BlackBerry Symbian iPhone iPod Touch.
I'm not sure about all of you, but I have been looking for something like this for some time now. Finally, an IM application that supports group chat that can be used on most platforms. It currently supports Android, iPhone, BlackBerry and Symbian. Cnectd was developed to look like BlackBerry Messenger and has many of the same features. These features include integration into your BB's messages list, being able to share your location, share images, and it can even connect to your FaceBook account! Signing up is free, easy and done within the app itself. Keep in mind there are a few bugs to be worked out as it is still in the Beta stage but the developers of Cnectd seem to be responding to feedback well and getting fixes out in a timely manner. I am eager to get this installed on my Incredible in hopes of getting some old pals from BBM to give it a try. It really looks like this app has some serious potential.
