heard rumblings for well over a year, but where are are now?\u00a0 Yes, there are handsets like the Motorola Devour with Flash Lite, but what about the full version?\u00a0 What can we really expect as Android users?\u00a0 And when can we expect it?<span id=\"more-13714\"><\/span>The good news is that the final release of Adobe Flash <a href=\"http:\/\/androinica.com\/2010\/02\/25\/flash-10-1-will-not-be-supported-on-all-android-phones\/\" >will be available<\/a> mid-year.\u00a0 As long as the handset meets certain hardware and software requirements, users can expect to see Flash on select models just a few months from now.\u00a0 This is where the bad news comes in &#8211; Most of the first generation of Android handsets won&#8217;t meet the requirements of an ARM v7 (Cortex) chipset like those found in the Qualcomm Snapdragon and TI OMAP3 series.<\/p>\n<p>Taylor of AndroidAndMe put together a <a href=\"http:\/\/androidandme.com\/2010\/02\/news\/no-flash-10-1-for-1st-gen-android-phones\/\" >quick list<\/a> of phones that won&#8217;t make the cut for full Flash and they are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sprint Hero<\/li>\n<li>Sprint Moment<\/li>\n<li>T-Mobile G1<\/li>\n<li>T-Mobile myTouch 3G<\/li>\n<li>T-Mobile CLIQ<\/li>\n<li>T-Mobile Behold II<\/li>\n<li>Verizon Droid Eris<\/li>\n<li>Verizon Devour<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keep in mind that some of these phones already offer a version of Flash Lite.\u00a0 It would be nice to see most, if not all, handsets at least support that iteration.<\/p>\n<p>We can&#8217;t leave you on a down note so we thought we&#8217;d give you some more good news.\u00a0 According to some tests and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flashmobileblog.com\/2010\/02\/24\/battery-performance-with-flash-player-10-1-on-nexus-one\/\" >independent studies<\/a>, Flash will not be the battery killer we&#8217;ve heard it might be.\u00a0 The fear of draining a phone dry at an accelerated rate can be assuaged.\u00a0 FlashMobileBlog has found that\u00a0 &#8220;video can be played for well over 3 hours over Wi-Fi from YouTube in H.264 (Baseline 1.2).&#8221; Naturally, tweaking your WiFi, brightness, and background sync can impact the battery as well.<\/p>\n<p><object
