, Feb 17th 2010 Discuss [3]

It’s still not yet publicly available for Nexus One owners, but that hasn’t stopped at least one demonstration of Flash 10.1 running on Google’s “superphone”.  We came across the modified Nexus One here at Mobile World Congress 2010 this week, and shot some video of the SlashGear.TV media player (which is, obviously, Flash-based) along with YouTube.  The good news is that it works; the bad news is that it doesn’t work especially well.
