Rejoice! Adobe and HTC are bringing Flash to Android (Google’s Linux-based Mobile OS) on its new Hero smartphone. The implementation will support video and audio codecs familiar to users of Flash on the desktop. What does this mean? It means you can now make use of Flash-based apps easily on Android!
The HTC Hero delivers powerful, compatible video playback performance using Flash technology, and interactive content enabled by ActionScript® 2.0. Users can enjoy and navigate through Web videos using intuitive video controls. With progressive streaming of large MP3 audio files from a Web server and the local file storage, the HTC Hero provides a seamless audio experience. Support for Sorenson and On2 VP6 codecs enables higher quality video and playback of existing Web content. A demo of the user experience enabled by the Flash Platform on the HTC Hero and the Android operating system can be viewed at www.adobe.com/go/htchero.
