Finally(Maybe) - Flash for the ZuneHD!

October 5, 2009 by Charge

Flash 10.1 has been released, and is now capable of running on near every mobile device with a screen, says Engagdet. This bodes well for our beloved ZuneHD and would blast it way past the Ipod Touch/Iphone. Why you say? Because for some odd reason, Apple have kept the Itouch closed down for this update, keeping Flash well away from those devices. Also, this will allow YouTube to stream at HD quality!! So this is great news, IF, and its a big IF, Microsoft let the update progress to a next firmware upgrade. Lets hope, shall we?

Quote:

Flash 10.1 will take advantage of GPU acceleration on a number of key mobile platforms, including both nVidia’s Tegra and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon alongside ION for smooth (well, theoretically smooth) 720p and 1080p video on the latest generation of netbooks and smartbooks.

Full article here - Flash 10.1 announced for just about anything with a screen, webOS and WinMo betas this year (update: Pre video!)

Jesus	Its cool but on a web browser bases its pretty much useless. The browser sucks to the point where I never use it, adding flash will not fix that. Plus at the zunes screen size in browser flash is pretty stupid. Now if it supported flash apps or flash in apps then I would be happy. Matt that post should not count as a post.

theguywholoveszunehd	YES!!! i have an aquaintance (not friend) at school and his selling point for Zune HD or iPod Touch was Youtube. Luckily, he hasnt gotten the touch yet, so hopefully MS will follow through with this and my aquaintance will get a Zune HD!

Oh I get it now. That would be cool. But the last site you were using DOES come up when you open the browser.

xtremeforce	PLEASE!!! MS Please do this! This is one of the only barriers preventing me from buying a zuneHD. Plus, it would be a major selling point for the zune.
