Most games required keyboard or mouse actions I simply could not perform on my phone, even with its QWERTY slider. But much worse was that, even when these titles loaded, there was no way to control most of the action. "When I tried going to famous Flash game sites like Newgrounds or Addicting Games, I found that, as Steve Jobs said, “Flash was designed for PCs using mice, not for touch screens using fingers.” Many of the games I loaded were slow to start and slowed the system, making it difficult to scroll around the page or tap on links. Further, as it has often been pointed out in the past, Flash-based games were not ideal for a mobile platform. Piltch also notes that Flash content on websites like often faced trouble loading that caused the phone to freeze. If you’re modifying your videos anyway, why not go the full monty and use an HTML 5 player instead of Flash?" But if content providers have to go back and optimize their videos for mobile platforms, one of the key benefits of mobile Flash–backward compatibility with millions of existing videos–is lost. "The difference between the smooth Flash trailers on, the jerky episode of CSI, and the system-stalling Flash video on Fox.com is that the smoother ones were optimized specifically for phone playback. He reports that Flash videos on, that were optimized for the mobile web, ran much smoother than the Flash videos on websites like ABC.com that were designed for a PC. Laptop Magazine has been evaluating Flash Player 10.1 on the new Droid 2 that comes pre-installed with the multimedia platform. However, according to Avram Piltch from the Laptop Magazine, Flash for mobile may still be a long way from offering users an ideal experience. The launch has raised considerable interest and has got several iPhone users wondering if this could in any way bring Flash to their iDevices. Adobe had recently launched its new Flash Player 10.1 for mobile that is now being offered on the latest version of the Android OS.
