Well, finally someone’d found some courage to stop Steve’s flash rage
Frash is a port of the Adobe Flash runtime for Android to the iPhone, using a compatibility layer, by comex (http://twitter.com/comex). Frash can currently run most Flash programs natively in the MobileSafari browser. Frash currently only runs on the iPad, but support for other devices (3GS+ only due to technical restrictions) is planned, as well as support for iOS 4.
A release is planned for when Frash is stable. Developers are welcome to join the effort at http://github.com/comex/frash – fork it and send a pull request with your patches.
Frash uses a multi-process model similar to Chrome on the desktop, so a crash in the Frash/Flash plugin doesn’t take down the browser. You can see this while I’m playing Alien Hominid: the ad above crashed (probably a Frash bug), but Safari stays open just fine, and continues to play other Flash content on the page.
Video and keyboard input are currently not supported. The former will require major reverse engineering of the video decoding frameworks on the iPhone, but the latter should be reasonably easy to implement.
…and if anyone from Adobe reads this: Hosting the libflashplayer.so binary somewhere accessible outside the Android Market would make this a lot easier to distribute .

ps: muhaha, i told u Steve that yr rage was useless
Did you know that there’s a some sort of a html5 fan club?
Why am i telling you this? Because there’s a sort of a timer telling when will html5 be fully released check it http://ishtml5readyyet.com/
Well, i guess everybody knows now about the “apple vs adobe” conflict.
And, probably, you’ve already read the Steve’s open letter.
I won’t reveal the “truth” of the statments mentioned in this letter.
But, actually, you can figure that out on your own, by watching for example this video about “how FAST and GOOD html5 is on iPad”.
No comments just lol
Google is a key participant in the Open Screen Project and shares our commitment to driving innovation on the Web. With this common goal in mind, Adobe and Google are collaborating to take the Flash Player experience to the next level by supporting a deeper integration with Google’s Chrome browser. Today, Google is releasing the initial integration of Flash Player with Chrome in their developer channel, behind a command line flag. Moving forward, Google will be including Flash Player in Chrome so users will always have the most current release and a safer and more seamless experience.
We believe this initiative will help our users in the following ways:
* When users download Chrome, they will also receive the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. There will be no need to install Flash Player separately.
* Users will automatically receive updates related to Flash Player using Google Chrome’s auto-update mechanism. This eliminates the need to manually download separate updates and reduces the security risk of using outdated versions.
* With Adobe’s help, we plan to further protect users by extending Chrome’s “sandbox” to web pages with Flash content.
Yes, i was very excited to see the new version of TheFWA’s website (they planned to release it on march 1st, besides i knew that group94 were doin it). And 2day was the release date actually. And i’ve just seen it and i should say that i’m VERY dissapointed with it (not with the dev, but the concept). Why u’d ask? Well, i’ve got an explanation for that. The navigation is not that convinient as it used to, selected work description loads and replaces the whole content now (which’s damn unhandy), and there’re PAGE RELOADS now which i HATE. My opinion’s that TheFWA’s ruined 4 now.
Pluses: yeah, SEO increased, more ads space. Bravo 1/4.
I liked the previous version more.
Honestly, guys, the previous version was better.
