The release, now available in the Mechanical man Commercialise, does not include any star features, except bug fixes related to stability, performance, and twist compatibility, Adobe says in the release notes. Instead the newspaper headline feature is support for ICS, which coincides with the U.S. launch of the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon.

The latest Android Flash player has a few known issues, withal. StageVideo using On2 and Sorenson does not work at ICS devices, and Quest while video is paused will not update the frame on ICS twist. Also, the OS does not prioritise incoming calls, so audio cadaver playing before and after call is conventional, and the enter key does not work on the multi-bank line text edition input field.
