Will future updates remove Flash from the Motorola DROID?
Share:
This article contains unofficial information.
So what does this all mean for DROID owners? Are the new requirements only for future updates? Is the DROID somehow grandfathered in? Hopefully, Adobe will make some announcement that will clarify things. Considering that the DROID was one of the first handsets that Adobe showed on video running Flash Player 10.1, it would be unusual for them to suddenly leave owners of the device high and dry. In today's rapidly changing cellphone world, things can change in a flash.

pretty pointless to have flash on a phone whos display regularly fails within 90 days.

I'm almost convinced at this point that you are Steve Jobs bashing on the Droid to try and boost iPhone sales, I see no other reason at this point for your constant nonsense comments.

Regularly fails in 90 days? That's why there were 10s of thousands sold every day, and less than 3% of customers had screen issues? Sorry if you had a bad experience, but that doesn't require public bashing of one of the devices that brought smartphones to the average consumer. P.S. It makes it pretty obvious you're posting multiple times when you fail to capitalize, yet properly punctuate...

lolz. that's awesome. if i was who you think i am, i'd be bashing the webOS, the only real competitor to the iphone. not the badly thought out joke with an even worse hardware creator.

funny you say that being that both OS's are run from linux and out of the 2 android has more fuctionality. webos is just cleaner looking and thats about it.

"lolz"? I wasn't talking to you. You will notice that it says my comment was in response to comment #2, yours was #1 (it works that way since you were the first post, in case you don't understand.)

if you say so. root your android and void your warranty if you want, put your webOS device into developer mode and instantly have more capabilites than an android device ever will. hell, you don't even need to put it in developer mode and it does more. your choice.

I wasn't aware webOS came with Google turn-by-turn direction. Or voice to text. Or the selection of apps on the Android market. Or a full keyboard larger than what is on the Pre/Pixi. Or an 8 megapixel camera. Or 720p HD video recording. Or HDMI out. Or swype. Or Skype. Umm.... oh yeah and the screen on my X is delightfully huge. I may be missing something...

i'm really glad you enjoy your 8 megapixels of terrible quality due to inferior optics. and also having no choice between a physical or virtual keyboard. just because the turn by turn doesn't have google's name on it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist fanboy. i guess you didn't notice that google voice and voxofon are other great VoIP programs available for the webOS. who cares about HDMI out with a huge throttle applied. sorry to hear you have some sort of dysfunction and a normal sized screen doesn't work for you. i'll keep my stable OS phone with superior battery life running at 1ghz that does everything it needs to do. you keep your turd.

"I may be missing something..." yea, self esteem maybe. sounds like your trying to compinsate for something.

I almost typed a response, but it is clear that you are just bent on bashing Android. I was open to hearing what you had to say which is why I started my comment with "I wasn't aware that..." hoping you would have a somewhat intelligent, informative response. Instead, well, you can read your own post. And derp; it's compensate.

And as far as battery life goes, I am able to get a solid 12-14 hours of somewhat heavy use... my record so far is 27hrs 45 minutes but 6-8 of that was idle while I was sleeping.

"I wasn't aware that..." that's not a comment that's meant for spurring a creative, intelligent conversation. you obviously didn't mean it in a curious way. you used it as a one-sided attempt to make your opinion seem like fact. make you feel like a big boy. glad i could grind your gears fanboy.

Nothing in that comment comes remotely close to what could be defined as an opinion, everything I stated IS a fact. The Droid X does all those things and as far as I AM AWARE the webOS does not.

Call me crazy...but i believe that Android was around prior to original Droid but was not very relevent until the original Droid released. Palm recently got bought out by HP...i thought. Don't get me wrong, i like webOS and all but unfortunately it is livin inside of Palm's ugly design. I would think that if webOS was the greatest thing since sliced bread as meeyawh tries to make it seem shouldn't it have revived Palm as a company? No, it didn't...Palm Pre/Pixi phones pretty much sucked. Sales sucked...they were irrelevent before the high end smartphones hit and they remain irrelevent now. Kudos to Palm for reinventing a phone that surpassed their normal dry lackluster boring UI...but far from competition with Android. Sorry meeyawh, not sure why you are such an advocate.

i'm glad you all feel so strongly about a piece of plastic, glass and metal that it drives you to extreme defense.

Hey, meeyawh. So, I like to spend most of my time fighting on internet threads about cell phones. Do you think WebOS is the way to go. I hear the fairy is pretty good. And i like Passion Pit. But I mainly need this phone for fighting with other nerds on phone arena. Any Thoughts? Thanks, Michael.
