Adobe Flash for Mobile on Android 2.2 on the new Motorola Droid 2, disappoints this reviewer... proving that Steve Jobs and Apple were right. Flash is NOT a good mix with Touch Screens and hand-held mobile devices. PING!

Flash isn’t so great on ANY platform. While it gives a semi-convenient development tool, particularly for games - it is a resource hog, a security hole the size of Alaska, and is still quite unstable.

I have seen brand new computers with LOTS of RAM and high-power processors brought to their knees after dealing with Flash for any length of time.

There are times that I wish my iDevice had Flash... but then I open a web page on my desktop or laptop and am reminded why it is a good thing to not have it.

I hate flash even for regular computer work off webpages.

It is as bloated as I.E. and should really be replaced by 264 technologies. Less overhead.
