Adobe demonstrates Droid 2 with Flash 10.1


Adobe is showcasing the new Motorola Droid 2's ability to play Flash 10.1 out of the box in a new demo video (below). Other handsets, including the HTC Evo and Motorola Droid X, are currently in the process of getting the software update. The Droid 2 has hardware acceleration for Adobe's plugin, making for smooth videos and games shown off in the clip.

The Droid 2 will give users the ability to quickly share videos with friends or followers on the popular social networks, including Facebook and Twitter. Other Flash content commonly found on the web includes animations, rich Internet apps, e-commerce, music and other audio apps.

Verizon is due to start selling the Droid 2 on Thursday and should upgrade both the original Droid and Droid X to Android 2.2 in the near future.

    What?

    Wait. I thought the whole point of this was to be able to play and view and interact with existing flash content. What's this thing about sites having to optimize their flash content for mobile devices?

    And you need hardware acceleration to do this? Some achievement in bringing the full internet to existing mobile devices!
