Support for Adobe Flash Player software is seen as a major advantage for rivals to Apple’s iPad because Apple has eschewed the technology, which has found widespread use as a video streaming format. The blog posting appears to be aimed at a number of critics who have recently suggested it might put people off buying them.ĭaniel Ionescu at PC World, for example, noted the Motorola Xoom is seen by many as the first real rival to Apple’s iPad, yet it may be a “hard sell” due to its hefty $800 price tag and lack of Flash. Adobe has said that Flash Player 10.2 will offer users of dual-core tablets and smartphones HD Flash video and up to 30 frames per second video performance.

We are aware of over 50 tablets that will ship in 2011 supporting a full web experience (including Flash support) and Xoom users will be among the first to enjoy this benefit,” wrote Matt Rozen, on Adobe’s Flash Platform Blog.Īdobe said version 10.2 of its flash player will be offered as a download or preinstalled on some tablets launching later in 2011. “Consumers are clearly asking for Flash support on tablet devices and the good news is that they won’t have to wait long. The vague time reference had people fearing flash wouldn’t be available until the end of the season, but a posting on Adobe’s blog points to a slightly earlier release. Verizon, which is putting it on sale, previously said Flash would be available in “spring 2011.” Motorola’s Xoom tablet will launch on Thursday as the first to run the software, but initial versions won’t come with flash support.
Honeycomb is the first version of Android designed for tablet PCs and is eagerly anticipated. Adobe says it will launch support soon.Īdobe says Flash support for tablets based on Google’s upcoming “Honeycomb” version of the Android operating system will be available “within a few weeks”.
One distinction that tablets running Google’s Android OS will have over the iPad is the capability to play Flash content.
