Adobe and HTC annouced yesterday that the new "HTC Hero" will be the first Android phone to ship with support for Adobe® Flash® Platform technology. This will definitely help the web browsing experience as a large percentage of the content available on the web is Flash. For video content on the web, we can even say close to 80% is Flash content. It seems obvious why this is a very valuable functionality for the phone.
A lot of applications that where not available to mobile phones in the past are now available and better integrated. For instance: You can play a Youtube video online and double tap your screen to go Fullscreen.
"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.
