ARM say they have optimised Adobe Flash Player 10.1 on ARM-powered devices as part of the Open Screen Project, an industry group with nearly 50 participants working together to deliver a consistent runtime environment across mobile phones, desktops and other consumer electronic devices.
"With ARM as the leading platform provider for smartphones, it's clear that there is a strong opportunity to extend the architecture to other, fast-growing device categories", says David Wadhwani, general manager and vice president, Platform Business Unit at Adobe, "the close collaboration between ARM and Adobe ensures that users will be able to experience uncompromised browsing of rich applications, content and HD video across smartphones, smartbooks, netbooks, televisions and many other Internet connected devices in the future."
"By bringing the full Flash Player to the broad range of ARM Cortex-A powered devices, consumers will experience uncompromised Web browsing of rich applications, content, and high definition video across a broad range of devices, from PCs and smartphones to digital televisions and netbooks," says ARM.
ARM states that Adobe Flash Player on ARM-powered devices will give consumers access to virtually all Web content everywhere.
"Delivering a highly responsive, uncompromised Web and rich media experience to consumer devices and the digital home is a key focus for ARM", says Ian Drew, EVP of Marketing, ARM, "the Open Screen Project with Adobe enables ARM and our partners to optimize and deploy Flash Player 10.1 across ARM Powered devices, freeing content to reach users on a range of devices."
