Android 2.2 'Froyo' and Flash run like butter on Nexus One

While Adobe evangelist Ryan Stewart wants us to focus on Flash 10.1 performance -- admittedly impressive -- running on his Nexus One, we can't help but be distracted by the Android 2.2 "Froyo" build apparently supporting his device. Can you blame us? It's not like we're alone with waning interest in Flash, especially for video playback. Anyway, from the looks of the homescreen in the grab above, we'll be treated to an updated launcher, Android tutorial, and global search box when the OS is revealed (presumably) at Google I/O starting May 19. And with the giant Froyo statue apparently already delivered to the GooglePlex's confectionary art show, well, the stage is set for 2.2 to be launched in time for Adobe's planned June release of Flash 10.1.

That’s clever how they solved the mouse issue. I’d still rather use a stylus like the DS.

You know, if you keep butter in the cold part of the refrigerator or in the freezer it doesn’t run at all...

I think the best option is the combination capacitive touchscreen with Electo-Magnetic Resonance pen-input technology that Wacom announced 2 years ago.

I'm thinking that Apple will release an iPad with that next year.
