*** NOTE: FLASH PLAYER IS NO LONGER BEING UPDATED FOR NEW DEVICE CONFIGURATIONS. FLASH PLAYER WILL NOT BE SUPPORTED ON ANY ANDROID VERSION BEYOND ANDROID 4.0.x ***
While Flash Player remains on Google Play for installation on Android devices that are certified by the manufacturer, installing Flash Player on an uncertified device may result in unexpected behavior and can potentially destabilize your device. A list of certified devices can be found at **broken link removed**. Flash Player WILL NOT be supported on any device shipped with or upgraded to an Android version beyond Android 4.0.x
Yeah lets just say I am an idiot and you are an[MODNOTE]Deleted[/MODNOTE] and leave it at that.Because it won't use flash? This means non functional? 3v0, I find your premise for 'non-functional' criminally inept.
I would advise staying away from android if you want to was any content requiring adobe flash player.
I do not really care who is to blame. It is bad news to be selling products that are non-functional within six months of sale. I do not recommend any android based tablet for this reason.

We continue to monitor developments on HTML5, but as of now it doesn't yet meet all of our customers' needs," Wei said. "Our player doesn't just simply stream video, it must also secure the content, handle reporting for our advertisers, render the video using a high performance codec to ensure premium visual quality, communicate back with the server to determine how long to buffer and what bitrate to stream, and dozens of other things that aren't necessarily visible to the end user. Not all video sites have these needs, but for our business these are all important and often contractual requirements.
Thank your for drawing my attention to that I read it, the reasons for ignoring it are outlined bellow.Derstrom said:Scead, I promised myself I wouldn't get involved in this argument, but I wanted to draw your attention to 3v0's very first statement:
What's that got to do with anything? Don't you know that the entire reason that these mobile platforms are taking off is because of the nickles and dimes they're going to get out of us? Even PC software is starting to lean towards a free to play (but you gotta pay if you want it all right away or get stuck with ads)The Hulu App for Android only works if you pay them $8 a month.
3v0 said:What does that have to do with anything ? What used to work, Hulu non subscription and amazon prime, does not now. SOMETHING IS BROKEN !
This is the second time you've said this and it's not true. You're blaming the people that make the hardware for something a third party software maker did, there is nothing the hardware people could have possibly done to have prevented this, the market is changing and users are going to have to change along with it, if you don't like it sell your Xoom and buy a true tablet PC because what you want simply will not occur.3v0 said:It is still bad news to sell a product that is less functional after six months.
That won't happen for a good 5 years or more takes too long for industry to adapt and the market right now is full of vultures and sharks trying to bite off anything they can get their jaws on. If Microsoft hadn't adapted quickly with the way it's handling Windows 8 (which I think they're doing a fantastic job of) Microsoft could have gone out of buisness within 10 years.The hardware vendors need to sync up with the software people and get this fixed. I do not really care if it is via flash, HTML5, or AIR.
That's too bad unfortunately it can't happen in todays market things are changing too dynamically and everyone is trying to position themselves to gain as much as possible when the new order settles down.3v0 said:I only only want the ditty I purchased to continue delivering the content it was able to deliver when I first purchased it.
The software/hardware market was stagnating and Apple was getting to big a piece of the pie until Android came along, the competition is good because it will see where the real need/want for various functionality in these devices will go, competition is good! It drives costs down, and creates more services that people want.3v0 said:Android and FireFox OS conjunction with numerous mobile hardware platforms has made this a difficult areas.
if you don't like it sell your Xoom and buy a true tablet PC because what you want simply will not occur.
3v0 said:The expectation is for my tablet to do what it did when it was purchased.
if you don't like it sell your Xoom and buy a true tablet PC because what you want simply will not occur.
And that is exactly why I started this thread !
