Adobe brings Flash to T-Mobile G1 – Android and Adobe Flash, together at last

While Steve Jobs continues to block Adobe’s efforts to bring Flash capability to the iPhone OS, Google (NSDQ: GOOG)’s Andy Rubin took to the stage at the Adobe MAX developer’s conference to show the world what Flash looks like on the T-Mobile (NYSE: DT) G1. During the keynote, Rubin and Adobe’s Kevin Lynch showed off the fruits of Google and Adobe’s collaboration. Running on the Google Android OS, the T-Mobile G1 was used to demonstrate that a full-HTML web browsing experience just isn’t complete without a Flash integration.
“We are excited to be working alongside Adobe to bring Flash technology to Android,” said Andy Rubin, director of mobile platforms at Google. “Adobe Flash is crucial to a rich Internet and content experience on mobile devices and we are thrilled that Google will be one of the first companies along with the Open Handset Alliance to bring Flash technology to the smartphone market.”
With Flash Lite bringing Adobe’s Flash technology to Symbian, Windows Mobile, and now Android smartphones, the iPhone OS has been singled out as the only smartphone to boast a full-HTML browser that lacks the ability to support Flash-based content.
Adobe announced that their new Flash 10 offering would speed up Flash performance on Mac computers, and it has been speculated that the move to optimize the Flash experience in the Mac space was largely motivated by Adobe’s desire to get in good with Steve Jobs. For what it’s worth, Flash on the Android platform and iPhone-competing T-Mobile G1 might just spur Jobs to allow Adobe to develop a Flash solution for the iPhone.
It been almost five months but no flash player,when will we get our flash player.
Ahh man this web site is hilarious…and you guys are so damn ungrateful! This G1 is the shit!!!! Compare it other phones such as the iphone….it makes u think “Wow, this was a good decision to purchase this phone!” =)
When are we getting the adobe flash player ont the g1
Yes maria I have ask myself that question a million tomes.
Hey I know the g1 has got good potential but I personaly think that the majority of apps
Available are quite poor Compared to some other iphones and more of a novalty than a use. I’M SCREAMING OUT FOR THIS FLASHPLAYER too as I can’t watch any porn on my phone which is quite annoying or maybe I’m just being pervy , who cares ? I recently got the g1 and I don’t know any1 else that has 1 or a gmail acc. So any sheexy females wanna email me then my addy is technomikee@googlemail.com or gmail whatever u pref I’m not fussy
It
As for the racist and smart ass bloggers on the page GET A GRIP your all getting worked up over an application for a phone (((((PETTY)))))). And for the smartarses out there its only easy if you know the answers or the soloution.
Back 2 the ladies
Haha what a good read. I love the g1 its f’n awesome. And I feel bad for all you people who think you got jipped, maybe you should have waited for the car toys tent sale I got mine for freeeeeeeee
I know we are all waiting for the flash player. But why doesn’t the g1 not have a media player at all. Even the youtube freezes up a lot and doesn’t respond to anything else. Before I got the G1 I had a wing and it has a media player on it even though it don’t have or need flash player. Don’t get me wrong I love the g1 because I can go to actual websites. But why not have a media player?
What seems to be boggleing my noodle they have left a huge gap between cookie 1.5 and doughnut 2.0 and 2.0 is suposed to have everythin but the sink. WHEN DO WE GET IT!!! Can’t even access youporn.com with out adobe 10 mobile. Which we were suposed to have months ago. Anyone have a spair micro usb head set unit for the g1 the dog ate mine hehehe
if you need an extra headset adapter the best bet is to get small device insurance (asurion is good) for if that dog gets it again and get a new one. i have connections. contact me for when you want to get a new headset adapter. and thanx for not being slanderous on your post. to many others are ruining this forum.
I made big mistake getting this phone!!!!!!!!!! Piece of crap ,,,can’t listen to my music downloads in my bose sound system in my truck ,,,,have to have a I phone to make life easy!!!! Frustrating when you have a g1 and can’t watch movies and listen to music without all this fucking hassle , =0 downloads are a pain g1 and android need to hire a more creative team!!! People like convinience like make our lives easier or you will lose a lot of costomers!!!!! I already have people telling me to get rid of this piece of shit!!!
Come on people what you want? Easier life?… may be you would like a hose from the refrigerator to your estomach and sleep on a toilet so you don’t have to walk to the restroom. What a lasyness
Wait…. u have a ps3? Sell it. Fast. I do tech support for the ps3. I would NEVER own a ps3.
Peace everyone make love not war. Just a suggestion.
People come to forums like this when they need answers and not ridicule.
Still no flash player.. what is the deal?. I hate when I check my email and can not check a web site.because I have no flash player. anyone have step by step tips on teathering my g1 to the laptop?
I think the most inportant part of this phone is the operating system, at least that’s what interested me about the phone ignorant people should buy an mp3 player if all what they want is watch videos. The only 3 phones that draw my attention are: the iphone, the palm pre, and the g1 wich is the one I pick after I had research all of them. Its simply the most like having a mini pc with you every where and… that’s amazing, the updates wil come and thas the great thing about this phone you go to sleep and. Ups in the morning your phone let’s you know its geting even beter. Try to do that with an iphone!!
I think that’s B.S tha I phone has way more apps a great flash player, and a way better camera and no disrespect but I own a g1 and my plp’s got a iphone wat makes it bad he got tha I phone that they first bought out and his phone does way more than wat a g1 can possilbly due and like young jeezy say I PUT DAT ON EVRYTHING
I know that I already posted but this is what I’m talking about. Do you think that spelling words incorrectly makes you seem cool? Do you think it makes you hood? Gives you street cred? Sorry, but no. All this does is further the notion that people who listen to rap and hip hop are ignorant and uneducated. Which in turn furthers the notion that minorities (which is incidentally the largest part of the hip hop community) are ignorant and uneducated. Please don’t take the words of this ignorant prick to represent my generation or the hip hop community. The real hip hop heads actually have a great understanding and appreciation for words and our language. Rap is after all poetry and art formed by words. I hate seeing this type of shit because you’re ruining it for the rest of us! Please. I know you know better. Represent what we really are. The people who talk like dc shawty and (even worse) write like him are usually fake. I guarantee dc shawty is a suburban kid who was raised upper middle class. That’s why he tries so hard to seem “hood” or “gutter”. The people who come from that life usually aren’t that proud of it.
All you effing noobs who can’t think clearly enough to use feasable english words when refering to your inability to be patient for something no other phone has yet (the aclaimed update) should just quit posting for a while. All those that choose to use foul language as aposed to real words and imaturaty as aposed to sensability when posting ANYTHING should just stop posting alltogether. Really. I didn’t think I would find a post on a respectable website with drivle and slander from mature (aka not elementary in physical age) people. the racist comments are already reported. I have many good friends of various races and your racist comments are deplorably imature. also to those that use suicide in your posts… you ought to be EFFING ashamed! i lost 2 good friends to suicide and I almost lost a close family member to the same. Jokeing about it in any manner is NOT tollerable on ANY level. I will see too it that you racist, slandering, immature posters are banned unless you cleanup. this is an information forum not your myspace page. i also am posting from my g1 using opera mini. i love my phone for the things it does to my liking but have high hopes for the future in its network rendered updates. slanting or slandering the g1 because you chose not to be informed and educated on how it works and how it is used is wrong. make informed and rightful posts about these sort of things such as you have refused to do.
also know. there is an item on the g1 market for adobe flash player. it isnt free ($5.99 ish). so if you want to be impatient buy it.
If anyone took the time to go threw all the applications on your “market” you can install for FREE a video recorder. Take some time to appreciate all the useful free apps they have in their
First, let me say that this phone is ridiculous! It’s everything I expected and hoped for. Like every other g1 owner, I’m also going nuts waiting for this flash upgrade not just for porn but also for sites like hulu.com. I’m not saying anything here that anyone else hasn’t already said. So let me say something that nobody else seems to have noticed. Is it just me or are there way too many illiterate people in this world? You guys, come on! I assume most of you are adults so it scares me that some of you can’t spell everyday words that you use in normal day to day conversation! And this phone has a decent spell check! Good god!
Look the g1 isn’t wat I thought it was cut out to b it can’t do shit
I have done some snooping. @ abode.com and found some very interesting news you can registernow the good part its free after you do the enter in to the search box android gi 10.1 it will take you to a lab department where you can leave your email adress and they will down load the flash player for you just fallow the green promps on the screen one will be pre bata and the other will be bate the bate will ask you to push the larger green sut up button only they do not give a release date I hope this helps and maybe some one can set up an easyer way to got people registerd for the site later and have fun kant wait
So if we have A T-Mobile G1 already will we be able to download this Adobe Flash player??
I’m still looking for the flash download for the G1. Where do I find it? After spending hours what went wrong, I realized that the flashplayer option hadn’t been considered for the first models. Now that the 2nd model is out, you’d expect that bug to be fixed with the intro to the latest. When? People when?
