Adobe Flash on the PlayBook

The PlayBook can play flash in it's browser. The funny thing is that it's video player can't. If you want to watch a video with a flv extension, you need to get an app from App World. There is a few flv players, just kinda weird that you would need to do it like that.

Not that I like flash that much. Steve Jobs was right to not include it for iOS. I find flash to be a process hog. On my laptop, sometimes flash will use 100% of my processor.  It just overwhelms my laptop. And those pop up ads are just annoying. and the quality of the video, compared to the size leaves a lot to desired. I know Adobe has stopped development of Flash for Mobile, which is good, time for something better.
