Any user of a current smart phone can tell you that one big gap in the mobile internet experiences on said devices is the lack of Flash support. For years now, Adobe has been stating that they are working on a mobile Flash version to help fill that gap, and even a few companies have taken the initiative of including Flash Lite in their phones, such as the HTC Hero with Sense UI. Flash Lite was a step in the correct direction, but doesn’t quite make that leap required to bridge the gap. However, recently Adobe has been demonstrating and touting the beta version of Flash 10.1. Adobe has stated they will release 10.1 for Android, Windows and RIM smart phones already and are working to do so before the end of the first half of 2010.Â
The recently announced HTC Desire, which has yet to officially begins sales, has already had it’s pre-release software (ROM) ported onto the Nexus One and it includes the beta of Flash 10.1. As such, tinkerers who have loaded up the Desire ROM onto their Nexus One have been able to take it for a test drive. The results have been promising so far, depending on how you look at it. Interestingly, one of the first demos of Flash 10.1 on the Nexus One comes from Taimur over at Remond Pie, who runs Farmville, a popular farming game available on Facebook, on a Nexus One
