Mobile users now have access to full Web pages with rich Flash content on millions of sites. “The overall experience and performance of Flash has been impressive.
“For the past few weeks I have had the opportunity to test an Android Froyo device loaded with a beta of Flash Player 10.1,” said Ben Bajarin, principal analyst at Creative Strategies. “This allows consumers to see a much bigger part of the Web and allows developers to bring their Flash Platform skills to a much bigger swath of devices.”
“Although it is labeled a dot release, Flash Player 10.1 is a significant update that includes a number of new performance and mobile specific features,” said Al Hilwa, program director of the Application Development Program at IDC. Once users switch back to the browser, Flash Player resumes where it paused. Flash Player pauses automatically when events occur such as incoming phone calls or switching from the browser to other device functions. Advanced Out-of-Memory Management allows the player to effectively handle non-optimized content that consumes excessive resources, while automatic memory reduction decreases content usage of RAM by up to 50 percent. With Sleep Mode, Flash Player automatically slows down when the device transitions into screen saver mode. The new Smart Rendering feature ensures that Flash content is running only when it becomes visible on the screen, further reducing CPU and battery consumption. Performance optimization work with virtually all major mobile silicon and platform vendors makes efficient use of CPU and battery performance.
With Smart Zooming, users can scale content to full screen mode delivering immersive application-like experiences from a Web page.
Support for accelerometer allows users to view Flash content in landscape and portrait mode.
