Adobe and ARM Accelerate Flash and AIR for ARM Platforms
 

I came across this today:

Adobe and ARM Accelerate Flash and AIR for ARM Platforms

http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pres...dobeFlash.html

Will this improve the performance of the NIT's streaming flash?

Re: Adobe and ARM Accelerate Flash and AIR for ARM Platforms
 

Uhhhh, IMO, nope.

The joint technology optimization is targeted for the ARMv6 and ARMv7architectures used in the ARM11™ family and the Cortex™-A series of processors and is expected to be available in the second half of 2009.

I don't think any new Flash is coming to the tablet. Its all about the new Cortex processors. ARM is opening up documentation, Flash is free, etc etc.... Nothing for us...

could be it will show up on future devices tho.

but nokia have so far given no indication as to the future of existing ones (outside of the N800 being basically discontinued).

Re: Adobe and ARM Accelerate Flash and AIR for ARM Platforms
 

The OMAP 2420 in the N800 & N810 is an ARM11 (ARMv6 architecture) chip, so yes. Doesn't sound promising for the 770 (OMAP 1710, ie ARMv5) though.

Looks like adobe is accelerating development, maybe scared of Silverlight gaining ground... Anyway, better for us:

64bit Flash at last. :D

Sorry to revive the dead thread, but I just read this and it mentions that Adobe plans to release ARM friendly Flash 10 "sometime this year".

I'm not extremely well versed on our hardware specifics so I'm not sure if it even matters for us but I thought I'd share, you know, just in case.

Re: Adobe and ARM Accelerate Flash and AIR for ARM Platforms
 

So will the Nokia tablets ever get Adobe AIR runtime as well ? That would open up a whole new way to develop AIR based apps on the tablet.

Bit again I guess that is too heavy for the tablets I believe.

Re: Adobe and ARM Accelerate Flash and AIR for ARM Platforms
 

This tablet generation is dead already. Move on, nothing to see here people.

Re: Adobe and ARM Accelerate Flash and AIR for ARM Platforms
 

Flash 10 is going to hardware accelerated, supposedly needing a SGX(and drivers ;) )

Re: Adobe and ARM Accelerate Flash and AIR for ARM Platforms
 

I've been saying it elsewhere, the problem with Flash on the ITT is that Adobe wrote a sloppy port. The first version that I'd seen some with the N800 was awful and stuttery. Virtually worthless. Then they improved it a LOT with the next release that Nokia included in the OS upgrade and it helped.. but it still had problems and it's still running terribly slow even for a 400MHz intel, though you're using a more efficient ARM for that speed. So far, it has been pretty much stuck at that level and here we sit today with that same result.

If Adobe has improved Flash, I wish we could see it ahead of any OS upgrade, assuming we even have anymore OS upgrades for our N800/N810's.. because I know none of you out there have anything more advanced than that at this point, right?

Ever cynical. :) My apologies, folks.

here's a video of flash10 running on N900. Or atleast a picture. Haven't seen the clip yet, gotta run...


/edit YES it's featured.

love to see they actually showed a N900 with 10.1.

Question from a bear of very little brain: does this mean someone might adapt tweetdeck???

Re: Adobe and ARM Accelerate Flash and AIR for ARM Platforms
 

not sure if this will include adobe air, but if it does, then yes it may happen...
