Adobe Flash Player 10.2 has finally arrived for higher powered Android devices running Android 2.1 or above, including the new Android 3.0 Honeycomb powered tablets like Motorola's XOOM. On the XOOM, at least, there's was some initial confusion in the Android Market as to which version was available, 10.1 or 10.2. Somebody fixed that relatively quickly, and the plug-in is now listed properly as 10.2, even though it is a beta version. The version of Adobe Flash 10.2 for smartphones is the production release version, and Adobe promises improved performance over the 10.1 plug-in that has been in use for months.
I did some quick before and after tests on an Android 2.3 Gingerbread equipped Google Nexus S to try to get a feel for the promised performance enhancements. While still running Flash 10.1, I found that our own embedded YouTube Flash videos ran smoothly at 360p quality, but got very jittery when running at 480p or 720p. Upgrading the Flash plug-in to 10.2 smoothed out the 480p playback significantly, though still left the frame rate lower than it should have been. In all cases, though, the sound was not quite synchronized with the video both with Flash 10.1 and 10.2.
