    Flash on the iPhone followup

    May 9th, 2008

    This is a folllow up to last weeks post on Open Screen and the lack of interest from Apple.

    I was watching Kevin Lynch’s presentation on the goals of Adobe for future deployments of AIR and he demonstrated the desired path for Adobe. He talked about the new Open Screen alliance and the goals of a unified flash player and a unified AIR runtime deployed across the many partners and devises.

    Kevin specifically mentioned that Adobe would imagine a workflow where developers would build an application for a mobile devise running within the AIR runtime and be able to deploy the same application to a pc as well. The mockup images below show the Adobe media player running on a devise and then the same application running on a Windows desktop.

    Adobe Open Screen, where the hell is Apple?

    May 1st, 2008

    I am really excited about the announcement of the new Open Screen project from Adobe, but again there is no sign of Apple.

    The Open Screen Project is supported by technology leaders, including Adobe, ARM, Chunghwa Telecom, Cisco, Intel, LG Electronics Inc., Marvell, Motorola, Nokia, NTT DoCoMo, Qualcomm, Samsung Electronics Co., Sony Ericsson, Toshiba and Verizon Wireless, and leading content providers, including BBC, MTV Networks, and NBC Universal, who want to deliver rich Web and video experiences, live and on-demand across a variety of devices.

    So, if the Flash Player is good enough for nearly every other cell phone manufacturer, what is Mr. Jobs problem? Your thoughts?

    In a related post, I discussed the iPhone and Pandora.
