FLASH on NEXUS ONE looks awesome and works perfectly

The fans on my MacBook started up while watching that video.

I want to view Flash video on my iPhone as much as the next guy, but when my computer can hardly do it, it is tough for me to expect them to get it right on my phone.

I second this. Not to mention the touch screens on all of these phones are terrible and have no where near the accuracy of the iPhone. If watching a couple videos (i.e. porn) that the website isn't willing to encode in either better quality (h.264) or newer tech (html5) is more important to you than efficiency, ease of use, and overall quality and functionality than go ahead so you can watch choppy videos and have buggy games that destroy your battery life. Seriously if a macbook pro can't handle it how is a phone going to?

I would quite like flash on my iphone but it really doesn't bother me much.

I will stick with iPhone as I think the overall experience is way better than anything else i've played with.

Either way I love my iPhone with or without Flash.

Once again I totally agree. Seriously, none of the games even compare either if we're going beyond just normal functionality. Nazi Zombies is incredible and the touch screen and tilt are amazingly sensitive and accurate. For all other phones they'll have to have on screen controls you just tap and can't handle the quality and quantity of multitouch commands that the iPhone does.

Check out this video below showcasing some of the "best" droid and nexus one games. Anything that looks good or smooth is clearly pre-rendered or pre-programmed and there is hardly any aiming, turning, movement or choice being enacted - i.e. there's no gaming occurring here. Compare this to any of the top racing, flying, shooting, rpg, etc games for the iPhone (Nazi Zombies, Nova, GTA Chinatown Wars, F.A.S.T., etc). Not to mention Apple gets official copies of the industry changing titles of the past like Final Fantasy, Myst, Sim City, Oregon Trail, The Sims, etc.

Here's the link to the video:

The racing game is so easy you don't even have to push the gas or the brake, let alone shift

The Nexus One actually handles it pretty damn good:

Yeah sorry I meant to say an Apple phone, since adobe has issues programming for Macs.

If Adobe can't be bothered to develop a version of Flash that performs properly for the Mac, which has a much larger user base than the iPhone, WHY would they bother to do so for the iPhone?

Adobe cant make flash decode video on the gpu because apple doesnt let them access the required API. Adobe would make a better flash but Apple is stopping them.
 
I love how people post videos of these other phones handling flash just fine, then others come and agree based on their experience using flash on some of those phones, then the Apple apologists come and say, "Flash is slow and buggy on my Mac, imagine what it would be like on a phone!"

How blind can you be?
 
I visit hardly any websites that require the use of flash. If they are videos that require flash, I can absolutely find it on YouTube. If there is a flash game that looks decent (most flash games are so simple it is a waste of time to even try), then I am very sure there is a better or more unique version on the iPhone natively.

Trust me, I want flash just as much as the next person. The more options the user has to do with their phones, the better. I am an Apple fan, but not a fan boy. There are plenty of things wrong with all of their products, including both the iPhone and iPad.

Apple dictates what their customers are allowed to use, which is good in a lot of ways but not the best. :p
 
I am actually commenting on this thread while using the google nexus 1 Is i can say from first hand experience that the flash accuracy is 50 percent Which is a whole lot better than 0 percent the phone is better than the iphone in so many ways except for looks and a worst touch screen However by far the best feature is the seamless integration with google cloud services which provides incredible functionality like speech to text which is what i have been using for this entire post

Does the Nexus One have punctuation?
 
People are amusing. I guess since the iPhone has video recording, copy and paste, and MMS, now people who don't have an iPhone excuse is, "Ohhh the iPhone doesn't have flash!" HAHA! Get over yourself! Flash is so old school. HTML5 is where its at!

When and if the iPhone gets Flash and multitasking, I wonder what people will think of next. Ahh, the iPhone is too heavy or something crazy of that sorts. I think people are running out of excuses not to get the iPhone.

How about not being able to run more than one app at the same time? People on these forums seem to believe that the iPhone is flawless when there are a multitude of things missing from the iPhone. Read this column from Macworld and the long list of things it would like to see on the iPhone from the N1:

iPhone lessons from Google's Nexus One

The truth is that OS 3.0 could easily have been a 2.x because the enhancements on the user's end were so meager. In less than two years, Android already has more features than the iPhone OS which has been around twice as long.

I could care less about Flash since it is a resource hog and a plague upon the net. If OS 4.0 doesn't at least have some measure of multitasking, I will be moving to whatever the newest Android hardware will be available in August.

HTML5 will be where it's at when most of the internet is using it. And then the iPhone will be perfectly adequate. Until then, there's no getting around that you're missing out on a good deal of content due to Flash incompatibility.

Don't forget spotty 3G reception that changes depending on how you hold the phone.

No offense, but do you understand anything about software? 3.0 brought a ton of new functionality to users, especially via apps.

Thanks for caring about my punctuation so much. We should see if mac rumors can change your title from demi goddess to punctuation police.

Is not about policing, it's just that reading a post like yours with absolutely no punctuation requires a lot more effort on our part to understand what you're trying to say. Most people try to make their posts legible and easy to understand, a little effort on everyone's part goes a long way.
