No flash 10.1 for the Hero

One, we only have android 1.5 right now. But the other reason would be the processor. I know it will be "fixed" by the community, but it just looks like we won't be offered flash.

This is bad news for me. I guess I will cross my fingers for skyfire to drop something soon.

Oh well, guess I'll have to upgrade when Sprint gets their next big thing...

Makes me sad. Just another cost of being and early adopter.

This is bullshit, if flash could be run on my Mogul with skyfire near flawlessly 95% of the time. Why can't this be made to run on the Hero with a MUCH better processor AND OS then WM?

...because they don't want to make it run on the Hero.

That's because Skyfire works differently than a regular browser. your phone never had flash, skyfire's servers did. putting Flash on a device is a different story.

Maybe so, but it IS possible. Either way I think skyfire is our best bet anyway as I hear they are to come out with an android version soon.

I don't think anyone is saying that it's not possible. It's just that Adobe doesn't want to do it.
