Today Adobe will announce *FULL* Flash Player for 19 of 20 mobile brands
At MAX, Adobe’s worldwide developer conference will announce with its partners their progress to bring Flash support to, between others, BlackBerry handsets. I guess iPhone will be again the black ship of the story… Anyway, an Organization of 50 companies called Open Screen Project created by Adobe to promote the evolution of richer mobile, tv, and desktop browsing experiences, by giving the welcome to BlackBerry, will achieve 19 out of 20 mobile handset top manufacturers.
Adobe is also announcing support for HTTP streaming and several new mobile-ready features, including multi-touch, gestures, accelerometer, and screen orientation.
Flash Player 10.1 is the first consistent browser-based runtime from the Open Screen Project that offers browsing of Flash-based web apps, HD video, and other content on smartphones, netbooks and other Internet-enabled devices.
Flash support is also expected for several other mobile platforms, including Google Android, Symbian, Palm webOS, and Windows Mobile. A public developer beta will be available for Windows Mobile, webOS, and desktop operating systems before the end of the year. A public developer beta for Android and Symbian should be announces early in 2010, with general availability and publicly available devices coming in the first half of 2010.
That sounds great for AR mobile development! Just to let you know that Adobe is also interested in FLARToolkit, watch this Augmented Reality presentation for MAX 2009: http://max.adobe.com/MAXar/
So it sounds like sooner than later we will be delivering FLAR experiences on mobiles -Probably using also gyro, accelerometer and GPS-.
