Flash Player 10.1 and AIR 2 first public betas
We just released the first public betas for the two client runtimes: Flash Player 10.1 and Adobe AIR 2. You can grab them from here and here.
The cool thing about this release is that there are versions available for all three operating systems Win, Mac OS, and Linux (openSUSE, Fedora, and Ubuntu) right from the beginning.
For now Flash Player 10.1 is available only for x86-based computers/netbooks. Later on we will have other releases with support for mobile.
Here you can see public demos and interviews for Flash Player 10.1. You can learn more about features like hardware video decoding, graphics acceleration, instance management, multi-touch support, or microphone access.
You can install sample applications for AIR 2 from here. Here is a list with the new AIR 2 features:
- Support for the detection of mass storage devices.
- Advanced networking capabilities like secure sockets, UDP support, and the ability to listen on sockets.
- Support for native code integration.
- The ability to open a file with its default application.
- Multi-touch and gesture support.
- New APIs for access to raw microphone data.
- Webkit update with HTML5/CSS3 support.
- Global error handling.
- Improved cross-platform printing
- Improved security and support for enterprise and government standards.
You can read more about this here and here.
If you have feedback, please don’t be shy!

Is the flash player available in the labs a debug version? I can’t find a clear answer in the release notes…

@cristi
For now there are no debug players on Labs.
“The ability to open a file with its default application.”
ROFL!!! Yeah, with the default app, but not with AIR itself!!!
Try selecting an iPhoto library via a file chooser dialogue. This age old bug *still* hasn’t been fixed, despite claims to the contrary:

A lot of talk demo’s etc but were is the bottom line when are we getting Flash for the Droid Period. If they can demo it they must have it looks to me like what he showed in the demo would work fine on my Droid …..Don’t ya think :)
