Hi

Which mobile phones come with the latest Adobe Flash Player?
Iam asking be cause I now have a Nokia N900 but the flash on this is now out dated so some web sites like facebook games no longer work.

Also are they any that come with hardware acceleration?
Thanks

my desire does... the latest flash on a mobile is Adobe flash 10.2 so that's what u need to look out for

all new android handsets will. Avoid iphones, as they arent capable of running flash.

My little wildfire has flash.

I've had the Nokia N8 which has Adobe Flash Lite v4.0. I'm not sure about fb games, but it plays the majority of flash videos on the web. As for acceleration I'm not sure. I know it can play all sorts of video formats saved on it due to some kind of accelerator. Besides that, brilliant phone.
I was interested in the N900 but went with the N8 as it was newer.

most android phones now have flash adobe flash on it but they don't work with facebook games i have a tablet and samsung galaxy s i cant play games on them

Not 100% true, if you jail break you can install flash.

However both the iPhone and android will not be able to play fb games.

The main reason flash is used in mobile devices is for video.

Out of the box, the iphones arent capable of playing flash.

If you jailbreak, you may well be able to, not sure. However I am sure that invalidates your warranty.

You can always do a restore and remove the jail break which makes the warranty still valid.

Seems a lot of hassle. Anyway since the iphone is perfect, why would you want to jailbreak it? Unless of course it isnt, and you want to remove the straight jacket jobs puts on you when you buy the phone.

Oi, let's not use this thread to play "taunt the iPhone user" please.

I investigated this before buying an Orange San Francisco (ZTE Blade) which cannot.

The standard ARM build of Flashplayer 10.2 requires an ARMv7 processor so if you have ARMv6 you're out of luck. Older versions of the Flashplayer app may operate but won't work on a very wide range of Flash sources.

Adobe Flash Player 10.2 for Android is here…but not for all (Softwarehacks.net,. March 19, 2011).

Nothing is perfect and would be ludicrous to say so.

I personally don't jail break because I have no need to but it's very easy to do and if I had a need for flash I would do it.

Steve Jobs must get a hissy fit each time he hears about Flash There's Frash, I do not know how far they got with it. Last time I read about it, it was still only an alpha, not even beta.

The problem you have is that I don't think there's any other mobile platform at present that allows you to play flash games. The N900 is really a mini linux computer and so has this capability which is why it's a popular enthusiasts' phone. But if Nokia/Adobe are not working on Flash capability any more then you're probably stuck.

Some of those facebook games are seriously GPU intensive and will never ever work.

Can you run the latest 3D PC game that needs a Quad core CPU and 200 watt GPU on a mobile phone?

Not seen an update for it for about a year.

In it's current state they really should have called it Crash rather than Frash.

So really no phone can run FB Games.
Are any tablets up to this job?

If not will just stick with my N900 and laptop for now.

I'm not sure what the current situation is with Flash games on Android (or other tablets) but I'm sure that it will be possible in the future.

Android tablets run the same hardware as the phones so it wont work.

What's the big deal about flash games anyway?

That's what I was wondering. I can see the appeal for developers who can target Flash confident that they'll have a huge audience, but the mobile customers would probably be better served by something targetted directly at the platform (be it iOS, Windows or Android).

Which games do you want? Some of the Facebook games have mobile versions which aren't flash-based, but link into Facebook.

Dude, why are you so angry?

Edit: Also how would browser based Flash games work on a smaller screen? I'd imagine that the play area of the game would be bigger than the screen you'd be looking at so you'd have to scroll around to see different parts of the game while you're trying to play.

Do Flash games support a full screen view?

I facebook games on my desire using the stock browser which has flash... I play marble lines and block crash... Both play and run fine without any issues

It's purely a content thing.

I doubt the 84 million people that played CityVille (on Facebook) in January cared that it was a flash game.

Even if a tablet or other mobile device could play it, the controls wouldn't map well to a touch screen.

Many of the big games like cityville have mobile apps.
