Mine auto updated, but I haven't tried using it yet.

Oh no! What will RockDaMan say now? Improved flash performance, unthinkable!

Serious question:

What was wrong with the previous version of Flash?

kennyc · 04-28-2011, 10:33 PM

It wasn't available on apple products.

Wrong. Thats a feature, not a bug.

The latest update to Flash for Android 3.0 (version number 10.2.157.51) introduces several enhancements, most notably hardware acceleration for 720p video. Browser integration has also been improved, and "important bug fixes and security enhancements" (including a fix to the "critical" vulnerability discovered a few weeks ago) have been made.

There’s a catch, though: the update is now in the Market, but you’ll have to wait for an update to Honeycomb itself to access it. When will that be? Go ask Google.

What is wrong with the previous version of flash? Well, there always are bugs in any software created by human beings and there always will be. Too many different situations, different websites, different hardware, different versions of the operating systems, faulty website programming, etc.

Honestly, I think Adobe is working very hard at improving --- I wish Apple would do as much for iTunes. iTunes is the only thing that slows down my new computer, works every time.

Things are, of course, much easier for Apple with iOS. They can concentrate on one specific model for each product type. Besides, they have eliminated most of the advanced functionality, so less can go wrong.

That too is a feature, and not a bug. It works for them:

I agree with you that iTunes is a dog. It needs to be shot and buried and the grave left unmarked.

No doubt it is a feature, iDevices are aimed squarely at the technically challenged or the I-care-about-looks-and-status-only crowd. The first group don't even know what they're missing and the second group don't give a damn. Definitely the majority of users, Apple is smart.
