Adobe Flasth Lite 3.1 is now available on Nokia 5800 (well, its been like 15 hrs since it first surfaced on internet). Prior to this, Adobe Flash updates were incorporated into firmware upgrades. This time, Adobe has decided to make this update available as an independent download. To update flash lite on your 5800, go to menu-> applications-> app. update.App. update first appeared on Nokia 5800 in firmware v20, so you need to update your firmware, if you are running on v20 or earlier. The application update checks for updates on all the installed applications and hence very convenient to update all your applications at just one go. Its something like Windows update on your desktop and is much better than windows for this update application checks for available updates for all the installed applications. As can be seen in the screenshots to the left, there were two updates available for installed applications on my phone. It took me less than a minute to update and install both the updates over wi-fi.
Whats the need to update? Well, some of the highlights from the official changelog for v3.1 flash lite are:
1. Optimized web browsing experience for more than 90% of the top 500 internet sites
2. Flash 9 (AS2 only) support
3. Local Connection / HTML Text / GetURL_target / CSS support / WMode
4. H.264 support / Improved video support
5. Improved memory handling for images
6. MP3 Streaming support (finally!)
7. Support for hardware acceleration (Flash Lite 3.1 supports OpenVG 1.1 to improve flash rendering performance on capable devices)
8. Support for most ActionScript 2.0 objects and methods
9. Linux Reference port
In case you cannot make head and tail of the above changelog, let me assure that you are not alone. Most of the terminologies make no sense to me either. However, what I know is that there are some welcome changes like support for mp3 streaming, flash 9 FLV content and better video quality. Web browsing is much faster with this update and you tube streaming is much smoother, clearer and faster. Till now I haven’t found any hiccups with the update but I would love to read of some hiccups and improvements from the readers.
The bottom line is in most cases application updates make your applications work faster and smoother, so dont miss out on any updates more so when they don’t cost a dime.
