Adobe releases Flash Player 10.2 beta for Froyo, Gingerbread and Honeycomb devices

Adobe has released a stable build of Flash Player 10.2 on the Android Market, meant for Android 2.2 Froyo, Android 2.3 Gingerbread and Android 3.0 Honeycombdevices.

 Bringing video performance and battery life gains, the improvement is admittedly best seen on dual-core devices for now, though noticeable on single-core devices.

However, Adobe warns that with the beta, it has not enabled hardware acceleration, so expect the performance gains you experience with the new app to improve drastically once the full version comes out, when hardware rendering and compositing will be added.

Adobe promises that will also bring "720p playback to a really smooth, enjoyable level," where currently, 10.2 beta is barely able to make 480p watchable.
