There is much excitement and celebration today in the world of mobile phones. Adobe announced that Flash Player 10.1 will soon be gracing the diminutive screen of your mobile phone...unless you have an iPhone.
Adobe Flash is reƖative ubiquitous on the Web. If you have ever tried to surf the Web with a brand new computer system that hasn't yet had Flash installed you quickly find out just how many sites rely on the technology to provide interactive multimedia presentations and interfaces.
Mobile phones have had the capability to surf the Web for some time, but the Web experience has often been clunky and lacking in comparison to full-blown desktop and laptop surfing. However, mobile device technology--the hardware, the software, and the delivery infrastructure--have all improved to the point that the mobile phone is now more of a mobile computing platform and there is little difference between a laptop computer and a full-featured smart phone aside from the size of the display and the size of the keyboard.
Adobe has overcome those concerns with the latest version of Flash by leveraging the GPU (graphics processing unit) to accelerate video without prematurely consuming the battery life. Not only does the new Adobe Flash address the resource consumption issues, it also incorporates support for new technologies like multitouch screens, accelerometers, and shifting screen orientation.
