Adobe Systems and HTC has launched new 'HTC Hero' -- the first Android phone to ship with support for Adobe Flash Platform technology. Users can browse and discover a broad set of Web content and applications not supported by mobile phones in the past. People can also view YouTube videos using Flash technology and enable full screen viewing mode.
"As the first Android device with Flash, the new HTC Hero represents a key milestone for Android and the Flash Platform.

With close to 80 per cent of all videos online delivered with Adobe Flash technology, consumers want to access rich Web content on-the-go," said David Wadhwani, vice president and general manager, platform business unit, Adobe. "The collaboration with HTC offers people a more complete Flash based Web browsing experience today and presents an important step towards full Web browsing with Flash Player 10 on mobile phones in the future.
"We look forward to continuing our close collaboration with Adobe and to bringing Flash Player 10 support to our phones in the future," commented John Wang, chief marketing officer, HTC Corporation.
According to the company, the HTC Hero delivers compatible video playback performance using Flash technology, and interactive content enabled by ActionScript 2.0. Users can enjoy and navigate through Web videos using intuitive video controls. With progressive streaming of large MP3 audio files from a Web server and the local file storage, the HTC Hero provides a seamless audio experience. Support for Sorenson and On2 VP6 codecs enables higher quality video and playback of existing Web content.
HTC also announced its participation in the Open Screen Project, a broad industry effort to deliver a consistent runtime across screens and to provide access to all Flash technology based Web content in the future. As a contributor to the initiative, HTC is collaborating with Adobe and more than 25 other industry leaders to bring Flash Player 10 and full Web browsing to the next generation of Android based smartphones and other mobile computing platforms and devices.
