Flash Player 10.1 coming to Motorola Droid
It’s been a big week for us here on the Flash Platform Team, with Flash Player 10.1 being shown publicly on a number of Android devices for the first time. Earlier today Motorola announced that we’ve been working with them on delivering Flash Player 10.1 for the Motorola DROID. Below is a quick video showing some great content that you’ll be able to access on the Droid, including the BBC, New York Times , and even some really cool animation done by the folks at AngryAlien.com

Yes. Please, please get the Android version out. The Motorola Droid is an outstanding device. The lack of Flash is a very, very serious issue in competition with the iPhone. I’d love to have any early, beta, whatever versions now. Thanks, — Jim

Can you send to this email once the App for Adobe is ready for Droid …or do you want anyone to assist in test to support efforts. I have a local paper that requires Adobe to read the paper and I would love to see it on Droid. If helps to know the paper it is Thefranklinpress.com. Thank you and look forward to a verision that works for the Droid and would love to help test if helpful…

So are the many Droid users going to get 10.1 or is it only running on the nexus one. Because when you go to the download screen it said that 10.1 isn’t available for this device or OS.

Hey guys. You left out the most important part of your announcement: when is the planned release date? Even if it’s a public beta. If you don’t have a firm release date, at least tell us that. That’s the info we’re all looking for.

Most sources say first half of 2010, some say as early as first quarter, but with no official release date we may need to wait longer. Can’t wait for the flash player on my droid, which the promise of a flash was the primary, decisive selling point for me.

I bought my Droid Nov 13 and have been waiting for over three months for the flash player. This is equivalent to a year in tech devices. Also my $125 BlueAnt BT headset in not compatible with the Droid and Motorola, Verizon, & BlusAnt all blame each other for the BLUETOOTH incompatibility. I thought this was supposed to be a universal standard.
I think the droid is not nearly as user-friendly as they would like us to think.

Since you are showing video in January of a flash player 10.1 on the moto Droid; and it’s two months later; you must have a beta or a release date available. Please advise; so many of us won’t be forced to look elsewhere. Thanks.

We need some kind of hint that you guys are still working on the flash for the Droid. At first the message you would get(when you try to download flash) was wait for first half. Now all we get is a not supported message. It is causing people to loose faith and there is nasty rumors that you changed the message because there wont be a release now.

I believe it when you finally make it available. Same delays and hype since December 09 with the promise of 1st quarter of 2010. Then the 2nd quarter hype. Third quarter almost over and the same old promise and hype. Are you really going to produce it?

So basically our wonderful phone carriers aren’t allowing our phones to have flash…so we will get impatient and buy a newer phone ..even though 2.2 supports flash..we can’t have it yet…..just like I can’t make my phone a mobile hotspot..because even though 2.2 supports it, and I already pay about 100 for my verizon service…verizon feels that mobile hotspot deserves another twenty f+*king dollars every month…..

I once went skydiving without a parachute and with a blind fold on. I just all of a sudden grew wings so i could survive. Does all this make me more qualified than these idiots? It should because it has so much to do with beta testing an adobe product

If anyone is smart they can figure out how to download the beta version which works just fine…. I’m not posting a link because everyone needs to do the legwork themselves. It’s out there I use it and its AWESOME!!!! The only downfall is that it does not occupy the full screen and the beta version doesn’t optimize the videos on websites to play without being so choppy. But whatever I’m still one of the first to have flash on my phone…

I just got a Motorola Drode x. It is telling me that I can’t download Adobe Flash player 10.1! I need this for certain things on my phone. I pay for the phone and 100 a month in services and I don’t understand why we can’t get the download or an answer. Please respond with a answer and not a run around.
September 20, 2010
Matt Rozen writes:
Hi Lisa,
You need to have Android 2.2 on your phone in order to get Adobe Flash Player for your smartphone. The Droid X does not yet have Android 2.2, but according to Verizon, it’s coming soon. You may want to check in with Verizon on timing since these operating system updates to devices are managed by the wireless carriers (like Verizon).
Once you get the update to Android 2.2, when you go to the Android Market, you will see Adobe Flash Player available for download.
Thanks,
Matt

I really like to know when you people are to stop beating around the bush with this adobe flash player thing. I have a Motorola Cliq and I been waiting since the mid of summer for flash. You say it’s going to be out by late june, then you say by the 3rd and 4th quarter of 2010, and now you saying January. I like my Motorola and sure do hate to give it up for a Samsung or HTC. I need quality.

We customers pay the same for internet service as someone would pay for the internet on their pc, only disadvantage is the smaller screen. They have the nerve to release a phone that’s not COMPLETE and tell you that you will have the UNLIMITED plan, when no flash player on the internet is a very LIMITED browsing experience. We should be able to do everything on our phones that someone can do on their pc. Put yourselves in the customer’s shoes. We are not asking for favors, we just want what we pay for!

Devices with Android 2.2 or higher that meet the minimum hardware requirements will support Flash Player 10.1. As of now, the Cliq doesn’t fall under these criteria.
