So I was reading this "article" in PC World,....well, read for yourself.
"Until now, nearly all the folks who have expressed an opinion about the weighty matter of Apple's refusal to allow Adobe's Flash onto the iPhone (including me) have had one thing in common: They've never used Flash on any smartphone. But Google is pushing out Android 2.2 "Froyo," an upgrade that includes a beta of FlashPlayer 10.1, to Nexus One phones. And the 5000 people who attended Google's I|O developer conference in San Francisco last week went home with Sprint's EVO 4G phone, which still packs Android 2.1 but also has the FlashPlayer beta. More than a decade after Adobe started talking about Flash on phones, it's finally possible to try real smartphone FlashPlayer and form informed conclusions about whether its absence on the iPhone is cause for anger, celebration, or apathy.
I don't have a Nexus One, so I've been trying out Flash sites on the EVO. I've tried some of my favorite sites, some high-profile ones, and ones that Adobe has been recommending. My experiences aren't the final word on what the future of mobile Flash is going to be like: The beta is, indeed a beta, and the EVO hasn't even shipped yet. But I started this experiment wanting to like Flash on Android...and as of right now, my hands-on experience with it has left me profoundly disappointed."
Whoever wrote this apparently has no clues that:
1. The Evo has Flash Lite installed
2. Froyo is a pre-requisite to run the 10.1 Flash Beta
So this person is rambling on how they are disappointed in Flash, apparently without knowing that what was installed on the Evo was only Flash Lite, not the Flash 10.1 Beta.
Some truly poor tech reporting....
