The TechCrunch Tablet Looks Awesome and I’m Pretty Sure it’s Flash-Enabled

April 9th, 2009 by ryanstewart

The TechCrunch Tablet had a few leaked screenshots which if legit, are pretty damn impressive. Great form factor, nice touch screen (hopefully multitouch) and Applesque packaging. My favorite part? I’m pretty sure it’s fully supporting Flash.

This screenshot (above) shows the TechCrunch homepage and in all of the browsers I tried, the top right bar of the homepage is a Flash banner ad. The screenshot renders everything perfectly. I know they wanted to support Flash, so I’m hoping this is an indication that it works. Combine that with the rest of the device and this could be a really cool way for Flash developers to show off their stuff.

I’ll try to get more info on if/what version of Flash it supports.

Update: I just got served a regular image ad in that spot on techcrunch.com, so it might not be rendering Flash in that screenshot. I know they wanted to add it, so I’ll keep trying to track down some info.
