    Worth mentioning this Flash player's limitations:

    "The latest Android Flash player has a few known issues, however. StageVideo using On2 and Sorenson does not work on ICS devices, and Seeking while video is paused will not update the frame on ICS device. Also, the OS does not prioritize incoming calls, so audio remains playing before and after call is received, and the enter key does not work on the multi-line text input field."

    No uninstall...

    But the version on my Sensation, running Gingerbread is not uninstallable, which means that it won't get security fixes in the future and I won't be able to uninstall the malware enabler.

    BIG fail.

    Still, at least Dolphin Browser HD allows me to disable Flash.
