Hold Everything... Android Tablet Prototypes Support Flash [VIDEO]
Drooling over tablets, but worried about lack of Flash support on the iPad? Sit tight, because a slew of tablets running Android will be emerging shortly with full Flash support, thanks to the NVIDIA Tegra platform team’s work with Adobe.
The fact that Flash embeds make rendering a page "challenging" (his words, not mine) and that it requires hardware to do it, is one of the many valid reasons why I don't want Flash on a mobile device. The iPad gets 10-12 continuous HOURS of video playback in a full charge.
I'm not saying Apple doesn't have less valid/malicious non-technical reasons for blocking Flash. But I don't feel slighted by not having Flash support and I'm glad to see the web dev community wake up and drift away from it.
