Puffin Web Browser review: Flash for the iPhone/iPad

[93Kingofpop]

Are u in 3G mode in this video? Is it full in 3G mode? Reply please D:

[crazybigball82]

I don't care for ios.

I also don't care for Hitler.

So just call me hater

[nanotek2711]

ok just to have flash on your browser, u guys gave up many awesome features in the ios devices to get a droid. I'm never satisfied when using an android 'cause I feel like I'm so restricted, there are a lot of cool apps that I can never download on my device. what a sacrifice.

[exsinner]

No wonder Apple not allowed Flash on their device,see how fail it is

[Passy85]

Galaxy S2 can run full hd in youtube vimeo etc. this puffing is a big laugh on this apple crapness

[linxnewman]

lol ! i shited on apple :) my galaxy s can run even HD flash vid in the browser

[gtawesom3]

My htc desire is fine with flash yes a bit choppy but I can run flash games very smoothly and watch "720p" video on the you tube site. It is a thousand times better than that flash browser.

[greenlittlesanchez]

I don't understand how every video about an Android phone or iOS device ends up in a violent commentary section, we all love smart phones can't we just agree all platforms are good for something?

[juliobahar]

@greenlittlesanchez no you can't. iOS isn't good bec. of the appleocracy imposed by using it.

[crepepariscafe]

It worked for me. All the instructions on how to setup Flash Player for the iPhone and iPad and even iPhone Tethering is at BidsWOW.com

[firebo14]

Thanks to Android...

Adobe Flash is nearly everywhere on the internet.. :]

Hey, does Android support Java (not javascript)? Please reply to my post, thanks all and Phonearena.. :]

[Mohammered]

This shows why Apple doesn't want flash on their "super smooth" iPhones... they will lag so far behind Android it will be shameful for them. For Apple, somethings always got to give, for androids, nothing's got to give.

[iMadeThisFourYou]

I had a g2 but i switched to an iPhone 4. doesn't mean i'm gonna talk smack about androids, i'm just saying to all those iPhone users it's okay, not all android users are jackasses. :/ and even if i get a reply from some jackass i could care less because imo phones are just an accessory anyways.

[reevsaj]

Loving all the immature kids informing us that "LOLZ IPHONE SUKZZZ$Z". Grow up, your opinions don't matter to anyone.

[faiz434]

Hahahaha sucks to be an iphone user

[Spyrouklas1]

Your yt profile 'n' web page is called phone arena, not app/game arena

[C4RMICH43L159]

wow so many haters ?

[bmb350z]

@C4RMICH43L159 apple is evil

[C4RMICH43L159]

@bmb350z i've never had one

[TheBarathbushan]

I don't know what's the big issue with flash videos and iphones

I use to use youtube even on my older nokia n73 , about 4 years back

[najibnk]

WTH so laggy !

[hecticxkarma]

People if you think about it ... Why does apple make only 1 phone every 2 years and android (samsung, htc, ....) makes like 1 phone a month? Just because its not as good as iphone. Think about it. Iphone updates their phone like mayor sometimes. And was has htc, samsung? Oh you want new thing and better performence? Okay ... Buy a newer device.. And htc samsung and other brands make way more phones because they cant compare to the amount of sales from apple ;)nuff said

[TheBigboySid]

Sometimes i pity apple fans. they try hard to convince themselves that the fruit is the best thing available money can buy in the planet earth .

[nerdofthisworld]

Even Symbian has flash...

[uchihaevil2]

Reminds me of the droid eris... Really slow with flash and pinch to zoom.

[csos95]

i love how fandroids claim they can watch 720p video very smooth so i get the motorola xoom and flash sucks and lags like hell. the lesson don't trust them.

[xenover]

shit

Apple sucks

[bakerskaterboy6]

@loopmix69 lol just cause you can't afford an iPhone doesn't mean you can bash it lol

[mrey555]

Ha ha ha flash video on iPhone, flash support is part of the big list of things that android can do iPhones don't .

[jvpython]

@mrey555 Its usually the only thing it can do better...

[parksidesuck]

Android

[loopmix69]

And that why apple.hhmmm IOS Never will get flash, that because the iphone never got guts to run it, thats why iFans are always like stupid childs without brain, they must mature and get a REAL MAN PHONE. NOT iSHINNY iSH*T.

[gpskl4]

@loopmix69 well said mannn :)))

[kaisergreymon99]

Well at least you don't have to "mail" a video so you can watch it... still Android FTW

[frederico179]

I'll stick with CloudBrowse

[mariokid2115]

I use skyfire. Way less laggy. I have only had to use it 1 time and that was to try it on a site I never went to.

[mariokid2115]

MindDControlDx

[gx1000100]

Good review. I'd say Skyfire is a better alternative considering it works almost just as good as Safari for a browser

[fforblack]

Oh great...if adobe can't make flash good on mobile devices, I don't expect anyone else to succeed...

[wssroach]

Lol...this is a joke...Android FTW

[wssroach]

LOL...this is a joke...Android FTW

[SGSguy]

i still don't understand the reason as to why phonearena posted this kinda BS. maybe they want to bash iOS users, or maybe they purely want to help iOS user that's clueless as fuck how to get full adobe flash experience or maybe they just love android platform too much. but i'm fine with any of that. Android for life!

[IntelisysCorp]

This was really beneficial and it definately walks you through all the challenges and answers any questions anyone may have.

[Gurksallad10]

So you have flash but its unusable...? Oh thats useful! go android!

[TheMegaDinesen]

0:17 look at the guy in the videos face... Rofl

[hello1967amazing]

** prefer

[hello1967amazing]

@frankixboy grow up, your the fanboy :L no OS is flawless , IOS has it's flaws but so does android and WP7 and all other mobile OS, there will never be a perfect OS it's about what you prefae

[hello1967amazing]

@frankixboy grow up, your the fanboy :L no OS is flawless , IOS has it's flaws but so does android and wp7 and all other O

[golDarkrai]

Hey, all of u that think "flash sucks, is only for ads" try to disable flash on your Mac/pc.......you'll change your opinion

[frankixbox]

Hahaha my galaxy s 2 kills this iphone wow iphone users really need to see how android can play 1080p youtube and vimeo and spike and mtv and ign and fox and gametrailers flash videos in hd in browser with a smoother scroll then stock safari lol iphone users grow up

[DarkGoon3r96]

@frankixbox Youtube and IGN can play on HTML5 thus on iPhone, and those are the ones I know, others might also support HTML5, also, you are comparing a smartphone that isn't even out yet in the US to a smartphone released over a year ago? Wow, Android fanboys are funny..

[frankixbox]

@DarkGoon3r96 pretty much any dual core android phone can achieve this and even some with just hummingbird processors when i had the galaxy s i watched flash videos in 720p too so the fact that you are butthurt really is funny i mean every android tablet and phone can do this but ipad cant even HA and i even have an jailbroken ipod touch and i love it but when i try to play flash using homebrew it just cant touch android lol i love apple products they are beautiful its just android is better

[DarkGoon3r96]

@frankixbox LOL it is funny how you mention that I am butthurt although the smartphone I currently own is Samsung Galaxy S, and am thinking of upgrading to Samsung Galaxy S II, so I am a huge fan of Android, while iPad can't play flash videos, it can do a lot of things that Android devices can't, for example the enormous App Store, Android Market's numbers are coming closer, but quality isn't, my uncle's iPhone 4 has much better store, filled with game I can only dream of cont...

[frankixbox]

@DarkGoon3r96 exactly i have a jailbroken ipod to play those games the rage ios app is AMAZING once again Im not a fanboy but mostly what apple users brag about is games if you want to toy around with games get a 3ds or a psvita for anything other than apps IOS is vastly inferior to android PERIOD.......love my ipod though haha lol

[DarkGoon3r96]

@frankixbox Did you even read all the comments I put up?!? Also, 3DS sucks, I don't want to play Mario & Zelda in 3 FUCKING D (o.O), and PS Vita isn't out yet, it also isn't a cell phone that you can use to call, so leave those stuff away from this conversation, I was talking about App Store, not only games, but other stuff as well, that you will never get on Android Market, if you know what I am talking about, you wouldn't be arguing, or maybe you are being biased (NOTE: I didn't say fanboy :P)

[frankixbox]

@DarkGoon3r96 dude i have an ipod and its EFFIN awesome do you not hear me? lol im just saying when i web browsing at the speed of light with 8 tabs open and 17 apps in the backround using my phone like its a damn laptop i just feel like android is better and that IOS needs to catch up and i couldn't care less about apps i have rage, infinity blade, touchgrind,,....etc downloaded on my ipod i never really play them what apps are so great that you would buy a slower and less capable phone for?

[DarkGoon3r96]

@frankixbox web browsing at the speed of light with 8 tabs open and 17 apps in the backround, that is what I said iOS can do while Android can't because of its sucky RAM Management, yea you can do that on SGS II, but its whole year newer, 512 MB RAM on Android sucks, while on iOS is more than enough, because RAM Management sucks on Android, I wouldn't care less about apps, all the apps you mention are games, have you looked at App Store for anything else???? continued..

[DarkGoon3r96]

Continued from before: And you got the next thing opposite, why would you want a more powerful phone when there is no software to take advantage of it, there is fragmentation on Android which causes this, and will only be fixed later this year, hopefully...

[frankixbox]

@DarkGoon3r96 what apps are SOOO good that you would pass up a phone that is faster and more powerful plus you only got 3.5 inches to see those apps wtf i got 4.3 inch super amOLED plus dude tell me these apps!! so i can go buy them!! i mean an OLED for christ sakes lol......... plus the ram management on android is fine i have an galaxy s 1 also and i never experience lag on it and i always have tons of tabs and apps open wtf are you talking about?

[DarkGoon3r96]

@frankixbox I am talking about my personal experience, that is what I am talking about, if you deny it, then you are biased, go Youtube, Samsung Galaxy S lag, also, Super AMOLED vs. Retina, is a fight between Contrast and Sharpness, its a win-win situation, and if you haven't seen those apps already then you aren't using your iPod Touch right, use Installous to find em

[frankixbox]

@DarkGoon3r96 so you arent gonna give me any examples of apps? weird? seems like your argument doesnt have much backbone there buddy hahaha and yea youtube on galaxy s 1 laggs sometimes but on 2 never i have never experienced lag on the galaxy s II period soo unless you give me some examples of apps then you fail the galaxy s II is WAY faster and it doesnt matter if its newer we are saying android vs IOS and right now ios doesnt have anything on android but apps

[MinDControlDx]

@DarkGoon3r96 Samsung Galaxy S have gpu accelerated browser that is much faster than iOS browser lol.

[DarkGoon3r96]

@MinDControlDx That doesn't provide better end results

[MinDControlDx]

@DarkGoon3r96 What do you mean by end results?

[DarkGoon3r96]

@MinDControlDx Browsing experience, to me is the same (minus the flash), smoothness is equal, in fact, I can run many many more apps at once on iPhone, while much fewer on SGS, why would I hate on my own phone? Especially since my next phone will be the SGS II

[frankixbox]

@DarkGoon3r96 did you get my other comment what apps would you reccomend from the apple app store?

[DarkGoon3r96]

@frankixbox cont. Along with other educational apps, and fun apps that just aren't available on Android Market, it isn't the hardware, it's the software, and iOS has gotten software for the most part, its RAM management is amazing, I can run more than 20 games all at once on iPhone while only 3 games on SGS, and it'll start lagging, truth hurts, it can play flash videos in 720p on Youtube, but so can iPhone, with better sharpness (not contrast though), also Android starts bloating my RAM cont.

[DarkGoon3r96]

cont. With stock apps that I don't ever open, all it is doing is slowing down my browser like it wasn't slow enough already, the available RAM is around 170 MB RAM, and Android opens 120 MB RAM apps, slowing down the browsing experience while on the iPhone I have barely experienced lag (Don't use Safari though). Android vs. iOS is up to the user, I prefer the iOS because of the App Store, you like Android more, but I won't flame you for doing that, something "butthurt" fanboys do a lot

[mitchishell]

You don't really need flash on a phone.

[sherifbatawy]

lame performance

[LadyDevilEvil]

excelent ilustration how it shudn't be done

[sillyrabbitman8]

flash sucks all it really is fucking a shit load of ads and youtube thats the only thing i used and see of flash so im good with my nonflash ipad 2

[MinDControlDx]

@sillyrabbitman8 Haha. There are many 100% flash websites and you are not able to use them on iOS device hahaha.

[sillyrabbitman8]

@MinDControlDx then ill go on my laptop and besides the only thing i use of flash is youtube

[MinDControlDx]

@sillyrabbitman8 But you may not allways have your laptop with you...

[sillyrabbitman8]

@MinDControlDx perhaps kind sir

[OriginalDanteFilth]

LMFAO @ iOS

[Madkillr05]

my android phone runs flash buttery smooth, and can watch in 720p with no lag..

[Cartoon2013]

@Madkillr05 CONGRATS! you want a cookie?

[Madkillr05]

@Cartoon2013 yes

[tellmehowtoblow]

Flash sucks. Like Android. Fucking noobs

[mystuff3040]

@tellmehowtoblow lol, iPhone noob, I use flash every day on my phone.

Go play with your shitty games (Tiny wings, infinity blade etc).

[xXzooma94Xx]

@mystuff3040 actually ur right (kinda) flash is essential...only thing is games on iphone aren't shitty and are actually quite better than anfroid phone..i love both though

[tarozeero]

@mystuff3040 Just because you use Android, it doesn't make iPhone users noob. You're the noob who doesn't understand what preference is.

[jvpython]

@mystuff3040 You just say that cause you're jealous that there only on iPhone noob

[MrMegaGamerz]

@mystuff3040 actually, im a droid user but got an ipad. and... infinity blade is pretty sexy xD

[oksu132]

@tellmehowtoblow just because flash doesnt support apple you hate flash.. seriously, im 100% sure u have flashed installed on ur pc or mac right now.. dumb

[princymihawk]

@tellmehowtoblow Disable flash from your computer then. LOL

[iP0Dtouchreviewer]

@tellmehowtoblow yeah you say that. why is IOS better then android? and i bet you have flash on your mac or PC so go and uninstall it if you think it sucks

[tushar1234656789]

only drawback of ios was covered

[MinDControlDx]

Sucks. If you wan't flash then buy android phone and enjoy flash in 720p...

[MrBensnake]

this is just sky-fire for iPhone kids

[DutchSketches]

muffin

[MrSanjeezy]
