what's up everyone jon rettinger from technobuffalo here there's been a lot of talk of flash recently not the creepy guy in the park with the trench coat but the kind of content that you get online particularly there's been a lot of discussion about its lack of device support probably most well known to not be present on the iphone ipod touch or the upcoming ipad there's been a bit of debate about whether or not flash is important to have on your device I'm of the mindset that the consumer should have the choice and I want to show you some of the benefits that you'll get with flash 10.1 I am running this year on the nexus one with the HTC desire rom that i demonstrated yesterday let me show you what you get with flash don't got some flash games queued up here this is from flash games 247.com before i show you how this works let me show you what Flash content looks like on an unsupported device here we've got the iphone with a sort of notorious blue lego brick no flash content is supported so go ahead and pick a game let's pick stargazer have no idea what that is connected over Wi-Fi here this should be pretty quick immediately it starts playing so I'm good all right all right so i can go ahead and double-click and it goes into full screen i can rotate it and if I want you to this way a little take a little bit better more suited for this orientation and you can just start playing just as you would on line and get instructions or start and you've got the lot of options for you can do here so this is just a game for example YouTube relies on flash supports you can play videos in the browser and a lot of websites have support for flash a lot of advertisements or interactive features are flash-based you can actually use those on your mobile device you know I think again you just should have the option about whether or not they want the extra battery drain that flash has whether you choose turned on or off I'm not the biggest fan of serve decisions like that being made for me one of the many reasons that I've actually liked being able to have flash even just for a day I found it to be very useful on a lot of different websites so the big question guys do you think flash is important on your phone or your mobile device you care or not care very curious as to why leave a text or video response and our guys and jon rettinger from technobuffalo and for all your tech news and create your own tech website and monetize it be sure to check out technobuffalo comma 4 exclusive content sure to check me out of twitter twitter.com / john for lakers links all that will be in the sidebar i'm jon rettinger and i will see you in the park
