not to sound like a creep, but i use my adroid phone for porn, just so anyone who uses my computer (everyone in my house uses it) isnt gonna open the browser to a dirty video or something, so its a more minor inconvenience, but still a real pisser. i do know people however that use their android tablets to use college course/work related related flash based internet programs and this is gonna cause a real problem for them.

Using 3 things instead of 1? Classic example of making things more complicated than necessary.

You’re in the .01% who had negative comments. So full keyboard navigation with 2 types of human audio narration with optional large type at full screen is not innovative? Wow, show me a precedent, I’d love to see it.

The large round nav buttons work fine on my droid as do all of the other features.

I appreciate your feedback though, actually. Good point about it being geared toward desktop/laptop experience! Post some of your work for review.

Again, thank you for your condescending tone and constant spew of irrelevant information, but I’m not 80 and I don’t have any performance issues with my phone. This may be a shock to you, but I neither need nor want Flash on my phone, and I have zero interest in getting it to work. When I get my Galaxy Nexus, I won’t bother installing it or Adobe Air. It just doesn’t offer anything I want, end of story.

Now, back to Skyrim!

That site seems very geared towards a desktop experience (also, no offense, but calling it ‘beautiful and innovative’ is a stretch. It works, sure, and it’s stylistic), so lack of flash on a mobile device doesn’t seem like such a bad thing. In fact, even if Flash ran perfectly on a phone, the site still wouldn’t work well just because of the way it’s designed.

Most of that site could be recreated with a combination of HTML5, JavaScript and CSS3. Sorry, but it’s true. And either way, it doesn’t seem to work well on a mobile experience.

Ok, I’m gonna sound like a porn-addict here… if you tap the download link on the bottom it will open the video on your android devices video player… if you tap and hold it you will be given the option to save the video to your device…

It’s certainly is painful. And I am not a Dev, unless you mean Devil…

It’s painful because, in terms of rich media online, html5 is a digression not a progression, particularly if I have to dumb down functionality and my boomer and disabled clients are discriminated against because their experiences are compromised. The only kind of Gingerbread they care about is the little tasty snack they make for their grandkids.

Did you turn on your sound and look at the sample I posted? It’s not out of self promotion; more it is about something innovative, beautiful and functional. I’m sure there are things that could be improved; that’s just evolution. And until html5 evolves to the point of doing what I can already do with Flash, I will keep flashing my clients. Wait, not sure that’s what I mean…

If you understood your OG as much as you claim, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. You need to learn its limits, especially with such little RAM. I also am still using my OG Droid and Flash is running adequately. MIUI is pretty, but is junk on the OG, unless you remove most optional apps, but even then it is questionable. It is too resource hungry and doesn’t have the memory management proficiency that CyanogenMod 7 has (allow purging of assets, VM Heap size 48, variable Compcache controls). Try CM7 Nightly 201 (Android 2.3.5) or Nightly 224 (Android 2.3.7). Recently, it’s been stable (much faster since they passed Android 2.3.5-.7) except some quirks with the power widget in the notification tray. I just installed Nightly 248 and have yet thoroughly test it, but it seems snappy and stable thus far. Also, if you have less than 46MB free of system space (more is even better), you are going to run into problems with any intensive app/addon. Just like on a PC, you need to have a minimum of free disk space.

Regardless, I do not understand your avid hatred of something you apparently don’t even use.

That’s the point. Devs are set in their ways, and so they mostly lash out against HTML5 because it’s such a painful transition from the Flash they’re used to. Over time, we’ll all be better for it, but I know it will be difficult in the meantime.
