An entirely new release of Adobe’s Flash Player plug-in has launched on Android today, with the company’s Flash Player 11 now available on the Android Market.
You get a whole load of new technical features. Which are way too technical for us to go into, so read the changelog on Adobe’s site if you’d like the full word on what’s different under the bonnet of this new code.
You still require Android 2.2 or higher to make it work. Flash Player 11 is on the Android Market here.
Huawei’s latest budget phone appeared out of nowhere a couple of weeks ago, announced as an exclusive by UK network Vodafone a day before going on sale — with a bargain price of £130 attached to the Ascend G510 should you buy it on a pay-as-you-go basis. It’s the natural replacement for the £100 Ascend [...]
We bought one of these using our actual money. We couldn’t quite believe that budget hardware maker Kogan was able to sell a 5″ Android phone for £119 plus delivery from Hong Kong so had to get one to have a look at the thing under our usual LABORATORY CONDITIONS. First impressions of the Kogan Agora [...]
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but…
The HTC One S is the piggy in the middle of HTC’s 2012 line-up, offering a 4.3″ AMOLED display inside a very slim and stylish aluminium chassis. The end result is a phone that’s very, very slim and stylish.
HTC’s new quad-core monster, the 4.7″ flagship for 2012 that introduces the Tegra 3 processor to mobile phones, updates HTC’s range to Android 4.0 and brings us the supposedly streamlined version 4.0 of HTC’s Sense user interface.
HTC’s new quad-core flagship phone doesn’t just feature Android 4.0, a 4.7″ display and Nvidia’s newest Tegra 3 chipset – there’s also an entirely new 8megapixel camera in the phone, powered by a system HTC is calling ImageSense. And this camera is one of the many highlights of the new Android phone, offering the perfect [...]
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
We’ve spent most of the last week captivated by the staggeringly sharp screen of the new Sony Xperia S, while putting together what will hopefully be something resembling a review for you all to read very shortly. In the meantime, to be getting on with, here are a few sample photos and videos, taken using [...]
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
£30? For a phone case? It had better be good.

/ October 4, 2011Its 17.7mb according to my newly gingerbreaded Desire. Seventeen meg! I was already running low on the space department, thanks a bunch Adobe.

/ October 4, 2011That is somewhat large for an app. God help any Desire owners who haven’t rooted and sorted out their internal space.

/ October 10, 2011As I’m always running low on space on my Desire, it’s impossible to install the flash player, as the installation process crashes everytime, due to lack of space (end size is 17.6 MB, but it actually requires a bit more during the install process). So even though I ticked the “automatic update” to “OFF”, everytime I connect to the web it tries to download and install the flash player. So it’s constantly trying to download, and my plan does NOT include unlimited downloads. So thank you Adobe (and Google) for forcing me to keep the internet connection down all day. Hmm… are the Samsungs or LG’s having any Xmas promotions yet???
