Kevin C. Tofel of jkOnTheRun and Ryan Lawler of NewTeeVee just posted a video that shows Kevin’s Nexus One running Android 2.2 Froyo and Adobo Flash 10.1. Or at least trying to run Flash 10.1. The results are really, really, bad.

I didn’t have all that much in [...]

MediaQuake just announced that they’ve release a new version of their app for Android. BuzzVoice is a RSS feed reader with a feature that sets it apart: text-to-speech.
