Flash player 10.1 for mobile available

Two weeks ago, Adobe released Flash player 10.1 for browsers, and now it has released 10.1 for mobile phones and mobile browsers as well. The new release adds a bunch of speed and reliability improvements, and should help on battery life as well — something Flash is known to use a lot of on phones.

The company says it plans on bringing Flash 10.1 to over half the smartphones before the year 2012. Of course, don’t expect those smartphones to include the iPhone.

Steve Jobs open letter regarding Flash

Apple and Adobe have been fighting over Flash on the iPhone and iPad for a while now, and now Apple CEO Steve Jobs has personally joined the fight, writing an open letter criticizing Flash for being closed and inefficient. Jobs said,

Flash was created during the PC era – for PCs and mice. Flash is a successful business for Adobe, and we can understand why they want to push it beyond PCs. But the mobile era is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open web standards – all areas where Flash falls short.
