Support for Flash Player 10 and Adobe AIR to Bring Rich Internet Applications to ARM Powered Devices

“Texas Instruments is excited to support Flash Player 10 which will deliver advanced features such as no-compromise Internet experience on OMAP 3 processors,” said Raj Talluri, general manager, Texas Instruments. “The addition of Flash Player 10 to TI’s portfolio builds on its history of creating platforms that provide exceptional performance running Adobe Flash technology. Leveraging the OMAP 3 platform’s SoC architecture and foundation software enables TI’s customers to develop a variety of differentiated products for markets such as smartphones, mobile Internet devices, netbooks and other portable consumer electronics devices that will deliver laptop-like functionality without sacrificing power consumption, performance or cost.”

Sweetness?

Yeah it was.
But at least yours is more than a link

It's a move in the right direction, and good to hear. Due 2nd half of 2009 = next Christmas. Also, to be royalty free they need to be part of the "Open Screen Project" - not sure what that entails...

Sorry, I only have a german link so far: http://winfuture.de/news,43593.html

It basically says that adobe, arm, Broadcom, Nvidia, Samsung and Texas Instruments work on flash 10 for ARMv6 and ARMv7 (incl. cortex-A8).
It says nothing about being for winmobile and/or linux

Craigix said he'd look into getting Flash on the Pandora, and this will probably help him out.

Besides that, I doubt this is going to be free.

 

[Consequence_9]

Engadget just reported on flash for Android demoed on a G1. A step closer I guess (if anything could be done with it once released)

Besides that, I doubt this is going to be free.

Why wouldn't it be free? Adobe has opened up the specification and killed costs for embedded development of the player.

That would be great if we got full flash working on the Pandora so soon. I'll be looking forward to more details.

I'm no dev, but as I understand the Maemo situation after following the discussion on ITT, it may be possible to port the hildon libs and create an environment in Angström or Ubuntu to be able to run Maemo apps. So you could drop in the closed binaries like skype or flash(if you own a N8x0, to stay legal).


QUOTE
Yes, you're correct. It might be possible to run built-for-maemo-applications even under Angström or Ubuntu environments, but it depends a lot on what native versions of the X libs and glibc the native environs come with. Some of those incompatibilities are even relatively simple to work around.

We now have 3 topics all discussing the same thing, so I've merged them all together. Please continue discussion in this thread.

Link is broken? Also, I checked for new posts and didn't see any mention of Flash 10. Sorry.

Doubtless he means this. In any event, your news is somewhat different I believe.

i'd love to see flash games playing on the pandora
I can't imagine the ammount of people that would finally decide to get a pandora because of the ability to play addictive flash games on the run

old news we already knew it was flash 10 since they were supporting opengl es 2.0 in the ARM flash version

inherently meaning flash 10 since flash 9 doesn't do 3d accell

 

[txd]

yeah i saw its so awesome ^^

 

[mazza558]

This is great news. I was always dreading using gnash instead, which has pretty bad support for some things.

Just a thought - this means we could see BBC iPlayer working!

How cool would that be?
