If Android Flash is as bad as it is on the desktop, it's game over for battery life, browser speed, and memory usage.<p>I just hope it doesn't get forced down our throats (i.e. installed by default) and that if it is forced on us, there is a simple way to cleanly and completely remove it.<p>On an interesting side note, does this beast support AIR?
Why does everyone here hate Flash so much? I agree that Flash has weaknesses...but the combination of animation tools and concepts - combined with software controlled interactivity is a direction I wish the entire web would embrace. Flash is visually appealing... some of the movie sites like UP (<a href="http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/up/main.html" rel="nofollow">http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/up/main.html</a>) are simply amazing.
I can hear the tweeners whining already, "But I want flash on my G1! Waaa!"<p>Honestly, this is all we would hear in app comments in the Marketplace, app after app after app. (Thank goodness Google finally added a "Mark as Spam" featuree.)<p>I seriously doubt the G1 has the memory and speed to handle flash adequately. We'll see.<p>EDIT: Hero vs. Dream has double the RAM and a larger ROM by about 90MB, which will likely be offset by a larger system image. CPU is the Qualcomm 7200A, which supports 30 FPS VGA video encoding (vs. 20 on the 7201A in the Dream). But no slide-out keyboard. So, I'm thinking the limited memory of the Dream is what will prevent it from running flash.
