Articles about flash support

One of the features RIM seems to always highlight when promoting the Blackberry Playbook is the Adobe Flash support and as I had to put that to test I've decided to write an entire post about the included browser app. I've also shot a walk-through video of the browser in action (find it at the end of this post).Given the fact one of the things tablets are most used for is browsing I think this app deserves more attention, so here's why it's one of the best things I have to say about the Bl...

After the pricing fiasco Motorola managed to drop the price to an almost reasonable 800$, so it comes as a surprise that one of the most important features, the one that makes Android tablets better than the iPad will be missing on the official store launch of the Xoom: Adobe Flash support. Yeap, that's right, after the fact you have to pay almost 1000 bucks for the 10 inch Xoom, you won't be able to browse Flash websites till Spring 2011, as the Verizon official preorder page implies in the foo...

Being one of the most anticipated products on your own niche has it's advantages, but also its drawbacks. For RIM the bad stuff were the rumors about battery life problems, that were then denied by the Canadian company. When you have a product with such a hype it's normal to keep investors happy and consumers involved even before you're able to deliver the device. That's what RIM is doing right now, releasing preview videos with Playbook's capabilities.The latest one is focused around the we...

Acer is just one of the big names in IT that hasn't announced anything officially about their tablet plans this year, but that doesn't mean rumors aren't flowing all over, with the latest one stating that not one, but two Android tablets are planned to launch this year, in Q4. The most important difference between the two is the screen diagonal: 7 inch versus 10.1. As Acer speculated its tablets will support Adobe Flash this means they'll be running at least Android 2.2.Both tablets will be ...

We've told you about the video demo of the iPad running flash a few days ago and now it's time to actually show you how it can be done. So after all that was not a joke, but a really working scenario, one which can be replicated right now on any jailbroken iPad, so if you're like me and can't stand all the limitation imposed by Steve Jobs, all you have to do is follow the step by step guide provided by Engadget.The thing is called Frash and can run flash games with ease, but no flash video s...

What does the competition have and the iPad doesn't? Flash, USB and webcam, most would reply. If you're the kind of guy that doesn't like limitations but wants a touch tablet very bad you should start looking for alternatives to the iPad. One of those seems to be the recently announced Aigo N700, a inch tablet from China that looks good and packs a lot of nice hardware inside a small package.To give you a heads up of the most important features of the Aigo N700 let's see the main specs: Plat...

Remember the Joo Joo tablet, the one with a legacy of the legal battle between Michael Arrington and Fusion Garage? Well, it's well into production phase and just got a walk through by CNET where we see how it works in real life. From what I saw it's a pretty respectable device when it comes to web browsing, but sadly that's pretty much all it can do. I don't know if I need/want a device that does just web browsing and allows me to see some pictures and listen to music.I must admit the huge ...

I was browsing the other day through my pile of touch tablet news I haven't wrote anything about yet and come upon a bit of news about Nvidia's demo of a Tegra 2 prototype tablet running flash games, in their case the Farmville Facebook app. Seeing this work makes you wonder why Apple isn't doing anything to make the iPad flash compatible as without it they'll lose a lot of potential customers that use touch tablets for leisure, not work stuff (not that it is possible without a keyboard).[ca...

If the iPad was the most rumored touch tablet in 2009 and the beginning of this year then JooJoo tablet was certainly the most controversial tablet as it still got a lawsuit from Crunchgear who wants to take their rights back since the involvement in the development of JooJoo was negated by Fusion Garage a few months ago. We're not going to revive this story again in this post but merely update you on what's going on with JooJoo, the slate type tablet that resembles the iPad the most.Well, s...
