Is it just me or does it seem that the stats on Adobe/Macromedia's "Flash Player Version Penetration" page are taking an awfully long time being updated? Flash 8 has some excellent selling points but the stats certainly help get a message across to clients. And, of course, they'd be especially helpful if the adoption rate continued to be as high as indicated in the December report.
I know that the March audit was conducted, but I do not know a date for publication... I've been checking the last two weeks myself.
I do know that, as the increase in adoption rate has itself increased the last few quarters, that folks here have been trying to cross-check their consumer audit results with deployed website reports... we're able to get some not-for-publication stats from companies like Yahoo (?), and there has been slower publishing in order to confirm these amazing numbers.
Bottom line: Please use these numbers as a chart of relative consumer action, rather than prediction of a particular audience. Flash Player 8 had reached 50% consumer viewability within its first three months of distribution, and it's still adding 5,000,000 successful new installations per day.
