The AC100 launched running Android 2.1, one of the first Tegra 2 based devices to hit the market, though as we found was held back by the absence of a touchscreen. Android 2.2 Froyo won’t exactly help with that, but it may make for a faster running ultraportable altogether, and the Flash Player 10.1 support will make for a more rounded notebook.

You may have been able to grab Flash Player 10.1 with your device before now if you had access to less legal sources, but this announcement by Advent is encouraging. They’ve linked to Build 1.09 at http://bit.ly/cDd99a and encourage you to go ahead and download, while they mention further that the soft update will be coming out early next week.

Now you can do all the flashing you ever wanted to do in your life! While we’re here, let me ask you Advent Vega owners – are you glad you purchased the Vega? How’s it working for you?

Samsung and Comcast Partner to Transform TV Viewing on Smart Televisions and Tablets

New Comcast Xfinity TV Experience to Launch on Samsung Smart TVs and Tablets This Year

2011 International CES
LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today at the International Consumer Electronics (CES) Show, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., and Comcast Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCSA, CMCSK) jointly announced the companies’ partnership to continue to revolutionize the way consumers access content and watch TV. For the first time on a connected TV, the new Xfinity TV service will offer a rich, Web-like interface, enabling simpler navigation and the ability to seamlessly search across linear TV, DVR recordings, and video on demand among tens of thousands of content choices. A sleek graphics-rich display will guide the viewer to their favorite programming.

“As we begin this exciting new decade, Samsung is also launching a new era of TV technologies that will delight and amaze consumers unlike ever before”
The partnership also will deliver a customized and integrated multi-platform viewing experience on Samsung smart TVs and the Android™-powered Samsung Galaxy Tab. On the tablet, the Xfinity TV experience is a virtual television guide and a mobile video player all in one. Xfinity TV digital customers will be able to browse, discover and sort video content, change the channel on a Samsung smart TV in real time, and program DVRs. In addition, they can watch streaming TV programming and movies directly on the tablet, and access that content across multiple devices. The service’s roadmap includes the ability to begin watching a favorite movie on the Samsung Galaxy Tab, then pause the movie and resume watching it on a Samsung smart TV from the exact moment it was paused, and vice versa.

The Xfinity TV service was unveiled today at the International Consumer Electronics Show by Comcast Chairman and CEO Brian L. Roberts during a keynote speech by Boo-Keun Yoon, president of Samsung’s Visual Display Business, and will also be demonstrated at the Samsung booth in the Central Hall.

“As we begin this exciting new decade, Samsung is also launching a new era of TV technologies that will delight and amaze consumers unlike ever before,” said Boo-Keun Yoon, president of Samsung’s Visual Display Business. “To partner with the renowned Comcast brand enables us to deliver on our promise of giving consumers greater variety, easy access and control of the content they discover and deliver a more immersive and entertaining experience to Comcast customers.”

Roberts, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Comcast Corporation, said, “Our partnership with an industry leader like Samsung is another important step in Comcast’s plan to totally reinvent how consumers watch television wherever and whenever they want. We have the technology framework in place to deliver new features to Comcast customers faster than ever, including on connected TVs, tablets and multiple devices, which is core to our strategy and a key facet of the future of television.”

The Xfinity TV experience will be distributed later this year on the Samsung smart TVs and on the application store for the Galaxy products interacting through the Comcast set-top box, giving consumers yet another access point for discovering and connecting to Comcast Xfinity TV services. Content can be watched through Samsung’s award-winning LED, LCD and PDP TV products that reflect the company’s commitment to delivering consumers high-quality, visually enhanced and connected entertainment experiences in their home.

Samsung and Adobe Bring Adobe AIR to Smart TVs

Samsung Becomes First to Integrate Adobe AIR 2.5 into Televisions and Blu-ray Players; Announces Plans to Bring Adobe Flash Player 10.1 to Smart TVs

2011 International CES
LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today at the International Consumer Electronics Show, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Adobe announced that Samsung’s Smart TV platform will be the first to integrate support for Adobe® AIR® 2.5 for TV, making it easy for developers to build, distribute and monetize standalone applications through Samsung’s Smart TV applications store, Samsung Apps. The integration of AIR for TV with Samsung’s Smart TV platform will create new opportunities for a growing community of more than three million Adobe Flash® Platform developers who can use Adobe Creative Suite 5 to author content for AIR for TV. All of Samsung’s 2011 Smart TVs and Smart Blu-ray players will include support for Adobe AIR for TV.

“Adobe is a key partner for Samsung and we are thrilled to be the first TV manufacturer to support Adobe AIR across the Samsung Smart TV platform”
Samsung also announced plans to bring Adobe Flash Player 10.1 to its Smart TV browser, extending the company’s current support for Flash Player 10.1 on Samsung smartphones and tablets. With the addition of Flash Player 10.1, users will enjoy a more complete web browsing experience on the TV, with access to millions of websites with rich videos, games and other multimedia content.

“Adobe is a key partner for Samsung and we are thrilled to be the first TV manufacturer to support Adobe AIR across the Samsung Smart TV platform,” said Boo-Keun Yoon, President of Samsung’s Visual Display Business. “Together, Samsung and Adobe are transforming the ways in which consumers interact with devices and content, providing rich, interactive applications built with industry-leading, cross platform tools.”

“Content publishers want to extend their reach from smartphones to the largest screen in the home – all without sacrificing the unique context and experience of each screen,” said Shantanu Narayen, president and CEO of Adobe. “Samsung is the first device manufacturer to embrace Adobe AIR for TV, and together we will enable developers to extend media applications, social games and other forms of rich content to televisions and a wide range of Samsung devices.”

With Samsung’s Smart TV platform and Adobe AIR for TV, developers are able to leverage existing code to create and deliver standalone applications across devices and platforms. The Samsung Smart TV platform was built with the developer in mind, enabling content creators to develop applications on an open platform, using common web standards like Javascript and XML and now support for Adobe AIR. The platform uses a single Software Developer Kit (SDK) for Apps that runs across HDTVs, Blu-ray players and Blu-ray Home Theater systems so developers can write once and deploy apps across several platforms. This gives developers the opportunity for more versatile monetization and enables a consistent and intuitive experience for consumers.

More information about Samsung’s Smart TV strategy and Samsung’s new partnerships was announced during Mr. Boo-Keun Yoon’s keynote address, which can now be viewed at www.samsungces2011.com.

While both tablets run the Android OS, which many believe to be Android 2.2 under the hood, their differences are enough to make the question regarding screen size one of the most important aspects. The 10-inch version (featuring a resolution of 1280 x 800) will feature full Flash 10.1 support, but under the hood you’ll find a 1GHz processor. It will also feature Acer’s User Interface, v4.5. Along the back, you’ll find a 4MP camera.

And then there’s the 7-inch Android-based tablet. This device will actually feature a Qualcomm dual-core 1.2GHz processor under the hood, the same Acer User Interface as its larger brethren, and full Flash 10.1 support. There’s no telling which version of Android is being run on this smaller tablet. It does feature the same 1280 x 800 resolution on the smaller display, though. Both tablets are due to hit retail by April of 2011.

To get a full instructions manual on how to do this particular bit of hacking, head over to Redmond Pie and grab yourself a piece. Of course, we must remind you that you’ll be breaking a few laws and could get into lots of trouble. On the other hand, you will after installing correctly have a super-neato dual-boot situation on your hands, that allowing you to either boot into Android via Froyo or your version of iOS.

Inside Android 2.2 Froyo, you’re said to be able to run Adobe Flash 10.1, allowing you to do … whatever it is you’ve got to do using flash to view and interact with things. Writer Chuong Nguyen over at Gotta Be Mobile reminds us (specifically me) that Apple has for a long time “touted its dual-boot solutions for PCs and notebooks via its BootCamp interface to allow Mac OS X users to boot between running a Windows PC environment or OS X on their Mac hardware,” but that, yes, I can’t imagine these same folks being all that pleased when they find that the android is lofting their logo high overhead!

As with other updates that have been pushed out, users can go into the settings of their Droid X and search out the update on their own. All you have to do is go into the Menu, find Settings, and then head into the About Phone area. Once you get there, you’ll see the System Updates area, which you can touch. Once you do, the device will start searching for any recent updates to your handset. In this case, it just happens to be Android 2.2. Here’s the directions directly from Verizon:

“Customers do not have to wait for the over the air push, they can obtain the official update via the device itself by following these steps: “Menu” > “Settings” > “About Phone” > “System Updates”. For more information and step-by-step instructions please visit www.verizonwireless.com/DroidXsupport.”

For those with a little bit more patience, you can wait it out until your device lets you know that there’s a system update waiting for you. The update itself is 67.6MB in size, and is bringing with it a few more feature additions, beyond Android 2.2. It will provide some speed improvements, as well as the new patched version of Flash Player 10.1. You’ll get automatic updates for your apps through the Android Market, and better mobile 3G hotspot performance, amongst others. Head on through the source link for all of the other details, as well as downloadable instructions.

While the experience may have been not all that stellar on smaller devices, like smartphones that feature Flash, the Tab, with its 1GHz Hummingbird processor, may be an option for those who want to experience video, as well as games. The larger display meas you’ll have more room to manipulate titles, as well as play games that make full use of the touchscreen. Playing games like a tower defense title will be easier on the Tab. Check out the media hub application in action on the Samsung Epic 4G, to whet your appetite for now.

And here’s the Flash Player 10.1 demo, for your viewing pleasure:

Stay tuned as we keep up with the latest information from Samsung, as the event is still going on. And stay tuned for our hands-on.

Of course, the argument is this: while Flash lets you display the “full web,” does it do with by sacrificing the speed and performance of your mobile device? While we’ve seen Flash on other devices, like from HTC and Nokia, these have all been variations of Flash Lite. This time around, we’re getting the full experience, optimized for the mobile platform. Therefore, there’s still just as many questions lingering about its ability to provide the full web, but at the same time keep our devices working in a proper fashion.

Michael Gartenberg, a constant columnist here at SlashGear, even mentioned his usage of Adobe’s Flash Player 10.1 on his Nexus One, which he updated to Froyo, and subsequently began using the pre-releases of the Flash Player as they were released. As he said, in his column “Flash Goes Mobile — First Take“:

“Overall, my experience with Flash on Android was pretty good. Sites that did use Flash loaded relatively quickly and effortlessly. It was fun to surf to a site and not get an error message because Flash was being used,” said Michael Gartenberg in his blog posting. ““Performance worked well and sites loaded quickly and fairly complex animations and user experiences worked quickly and looked good. Adobe has done a good job making the case that Flash is viable for mobile.” – Michael Gartenberg, Partner, Altimeter Group.

As Adobe stresses, Flash Player 10.1 has been redesigned and optimized for mobile. It supports accelerometers, and features something called “Smart Zooming.” With this latter feature, you’ll be able to scale the Flash content to full screen, if that’s how you’d prefer to view it. Above all, 101. should make efficient use of the CPU on your mobile device, as well as optimize the battery life. Basically, your phone shouldn’t slow down, nor should your battery die 15 minutes after you start browsing the Internet on your device.

Probably one of the better features, though, is “Smart Rendering.” Designed to make sure that the Flash content on any particular site doesn’t start running until it’s actually on the screen means a lot less stress on the CPU, as well as the battery consumption. Other features, like “Sleep Mode,” means that when you’re screen goes dark, Flash Player will automatically slow down.

As for Android-based devices expected to get Android 2.2 support, and therefore official candidacy to Flash Player 10.1, where what you’re looking at: DROID by Motorola, Dell Streak, Google Nexus One,
Motorola MILESTONE, HTC Evo, HTC Incredible, HTC Desire, Samsung Galaxy S and others. Sure, all of these handsets were pretty much shoe-ins for the update, but that doesn’t answer the really important question: when’s the update coming? That won’t get answered here, so if that’s what you’re looking for, you’ll be disappointed.

However, Flash Player 10.1 isn’t going to be supported on just Android. Here are the other platforms that are going to be supported as well: Flash Player 10.1 was also released to mobile platform partners to be supported on devices based on Android, BlackBerry, webOS, Windows Phone 7 Series, LiMo, MeeGo and Symbian OS, and is expected to be made available via over-the-air downloads and to be pre-installed on smartphones, tablets and other devices in the coming months. While webOS owners are still waiting for their chance in the 10.1 limelight, it looks like they won’t have much longer to wait at all. As for all those BlackBerry owners out there, well, here’s another step toward a far more lucrative and in-depth Web-browsing experience.

There are 35 companies, distributed throughout the mobile universe in one way or another, tagging along with Adobe in their effort to give owners the full Internet, in every shape and form. Companies like Turner Broadcasting, Time Warner, Sony Pictures, HBO, Viacom, USA Network, Dell, Samsung, HTC, Google, and RIM. All of these companies are going to release their own information about their usage of Flash Player 10.1, and there’s plenty of companies in the list that we’re, frankly, looking forward to seeing the result of the platform, together with their ideas.

So, when’s it officially coming? Well, we thought we might get a cheat-sheet as to when Google might officially release Froyo, but that’s not the case. As the press release puts it, we have to wait for the official release of Froyo before we’ll be able to download the Flash Player 10.1 over the air. If you’ve got an Android 2.2-based device, and once it officially launches, you’ll be able to find 10.1 sitting in the Android Market, waiting right there for you. In the mean time though, we’d love to hear from all the Nexus One owners out there running a release of Android 2.2, and Flash Player 10.1. How is it working for you?

performance and mobile specific features,” said Al Hilwa, program director of the Application Development
Program at IDC. “This allows consumers to see a much bigger part of the web and allows developers to bring
their Flash platform skills to a much bigger swath of devices.”

“For the past few weeks I have had the opportunity to test an Android Froyo device loaded with a beta of Flash
Player 10.1,” said Ben Bajarin, principal analyst at Creative Strategies. “The overall experience and performance
of Flash has been impressive. Mobile users now have access to full web pages with rich Flash content on millions
of sites. With the new mobile specific features, developers also have an important opportunity to help shape the
way Web content, games, touch capabilities and more are presented across platforms and devices as Froyo and
other platforms deliver full Flash support.”
