Flash and AIR for ARM Platforms
Adobe Systems announced a technology collaboration to optimize and enable Flash Player 10 and AIR for ARM Powered devices, ranging from mobile phones to set-top boxes, mobile internet devices, TVs, automotive platforms, personal media players and other mobile computing devices.
The collaboration is expected to accelerate mobile graphics and video capabilities on ARM platforms to bring rich Internet applications and Web services to mobile devices and consumer electronics worldwide.
The joint technology optimization is targeted for the ARMv6 and ARMv7architectures used in the ARM11 family and the Cortex -A series of processors and is expected to be available in the second half of 2009. The partnership stems from the Open Screen Project, a broad Adobe sponsored initiative of industry leaders - including ARM - to deliver a consistent runtime environment across multiple devices by taking advantage of Adobe Flash Player and, in the future, Adobe AIR.
The initiative is set to address the challenges of Web browsing on a broad range of screens, and remove the barriers to publish content and applications seamlessly across screens.
Video created for the Adobe Flash Player is the leading video format on the web today, and this collaboration with ARM is another important step towards bringing the complete web experience to mobile devices worldwide.
The Adobe Flash Player enables consumers to enjoy games, movies, animation and interactivity on the Web. The combination of Adobe Flash and ARM’s low-power processor IP and Mali GPUs will ensure a fantastic Internet experience for consumers on the world’s leading 32-bit architecture.
