Apple fans have been quick to jump on the news regarding the problems that tech evangelist Ryan Stewart had experienced when he was giving a demonstration of the new Flash support features on the Google Nexus One at the Seattle Flash Camp. In reaction to the reactions by the bad press, Ryan has taken it upon himself to rectify the situation and has uploaded the recent statement from his blog:
“On Friday I gave the Keynote at Flash Camp Seattle and as part of that keynote I tried to show off Flash Player 10.1 running on Nexus One. Unfortunately the demo didn’t go well and it got some attention around the web. I’ve had a great experience with Flash on my Nexus One but in this case I was running an interim Flash Player build, one I probably should not have installed, and one that I definitely should not have used for any public demos.”
“After I saw Jeff’s blog post, I sat down, upgraded my Flash Player, and went through and tested some of the sites I use on a regular basis. The experience was fantastic. Everything from the Eco Zoo to the NHL video site runs almost flawlessly. While it won’t make up for my mistake at Flash Camp, I recorded a video so people could see an experience that will be much closer to the final experience with Flash Player on Android.”
The video he mentions can be found in his blog too (link above).
This proves a lot for Adobe and Google, who have been surprising the tech community not only with their team up, but also the recently revealed touch screen tablet device that showed up at the Web 2.0 Expo. Flash and AIR is now supported by Google’s Android mobile platform. Expect to see the update for everyone pretty soon.
