Can these things, detailed more in depth through the source link and outlined above, be fixed through software optimizations, and through back-end optimizations on the Internet websites that have Flash player on them? Yes, of course. We wanted this to work out, so much, that we closed our eyes and experienced what we would call blind hope. No, we wanted the experience to transcend Google's mobile Operating System, and spread its wings onto other platforms, other devices. Yes, we were looking forward to Flash Player on our devices. If a new phone, featuring a 1GHz processor can't run your "full" Internet, how are devices supposed to do it with lesser processors? They won't be able to, apparently - and that's just not the way this should happen. And, don't try to blame the device, either.

In fact, it looks like you're hindering it. If we have to shut off Flash Player 10.1 just to have an experience on the Internet that we can enjoy, and actually accomplish something, then you're not delivering us the full Internet. You can't tell us that we can watch "all" of the videos out there in the world, but then have the playback be so terrible that we don't even want to waste our time.īecause, in the end, it is a waste of our time. You cannot promise us something like the full web experience, and then when we try to experience it, have our phone slow down to a stand-still - or just stop working altogether. It turns out that, despite all the hard work Adobe obviously put into cramming the full experience of Flash into the mobile world, the rest of the world isn't ready for this.

In the end, even when they went to a game that was supposedly optimized for the mobile phone, it still just didn't work as well as it should. Some games wanted you to click the CTRL key, while others want you to click that left mouse key. You still need that full keyboard (not the QWERTY one on your Droid 2, mind you), and a mouse. As their tests show, most games are still primarily aimed at traditional PCs. Playing Flash-based games on your mobile device may be the future, but it doesn't look like it's going to cut it. Just as devastating, though, is game play. (As the picture above so eloquently displays.) And, more often than not, it became brutally apparent that the whole experience was not, in fact, optimized for the mobile experience.

Furthermore, moving around on a page while you're trying to watch a video was pretty much impossible. Choppy playback means that you can't actually watch a video, and that's kind of the whole point. Trying to access video on sites like Fox.com lead to choppy presentation, and sometimes videos that just didn't work.

Through the many trials, results are all over the place. While Flash Player 10.1 brings the grownup experience of Flash Player from the PC to your mobile phone, it seems like it's just not good enough.
