I think i’m talking about Adobe max 2010 lately but i saw the demo of Blackberry Playbook using Adobe Air, Adobe Flash Player 10.1 and HTML 5 technology and it impress me a lot with symmetric multiprocessing and multitasking.

Steve Jobs recently posted a long letter on Adobe Flash, why Apple has decided not to support it on the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.
The letter is a clear, in-depth view in all of Flash’s defects from Apple’s point of view, and while we’re sure it will be dissected over and over again in the upcoming days (especially the part about Flash not being open), you have to admire its frankness.
In short, Steve Jobs claims Flash drains the battery of mobile devices; it’s not very good for multi-touch operation; and its performance, reliability and security are all shoddy. It’s also a proprietary system, and while Jobs admits that their mobile OS is also proprietary, he claims that web standards should be open, like HTML5, CSS and JavaScript.
Most importantly Apple doesn’t want “a third party layer of software [to] come between the platform and the developer.” Finally, Jobs concludes, Flash is a relic. “Flash was created during the PC era –- for PCs and mice,” he says, “but the mobile era is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open web standards –- all areas where Flash falls short.”
It’s a long discussion and i love adobe flash since long time. what you think, Do you think flash will survive in next years? Write us? i like to hear from you.

At Mobile World Congress, NVIDIA showcases Flash Player 10.1 and Adobe AIR on Tegra-powered tablet device. See a slick new digital magazine experience based on WIRED magazine, powered by Adobe AIR. This prototype runs across different device types with Adobe AIR and illustrates the possibilities for magazine publishers to reach readers in new ways.
“In addition, with this digital magazine concept, advertisers have new possibilities for displaying ad content. Advertisers can develop rich-media magazine “inserts” to provide expanded information to customers directly within the magazine experience — without directing the reader’s attention away to a Web site. Publishers can also offer expanded ad formats that include animation and embedded video. Finally, as is the case with most digital advertising, this new magazine concept opens the possibility for more precise advertising performance metrics beyond the comparatively crude audience measurement/ad engagement techniques in use today.”
Interesting!, i love the new digital magazine experience on tablet the way they shown it, simple and intuitive

Adobe Developer Connection recently published an article on new feature of Flash player 10 “Private browsing in Adobe Flash Player 10.1“. Currently the following browsers support private browsing:
Flash Player private browsing support will be enabled with a future release of Safari.!
“For times when you want to keep the sites that you visit private, Adobe Flash Player 10.1 supports the private browsing mode found in many web browsers. Private browsing lets you browse the web without storing any history on your computer. Integrating with your web browser, Flash Player 10.1 will automatically clear stored data in accordance with your browser’s private browsing settings.”
WHAT IS PRIVATE BROWSING?
Web browsers typically remember sites that you have previously visited or the name and password used for favorite sites—a history of sites that you visit—to help you quickly retrace your steps online. For occasions when you do not want other people using the same computer to see your history, many browsers offer a “private browsing” mode. When you turn on private browsing, these browsers will not remember any history, allowing you to hide your activity from other users sharing the same machine and browser.
When you use private browsing mode (during a private browsing “session”), the web browser stores several types of information only temporarily. Once you end the session, the browser will delete that data, including the record of your visit in the browser’s history, cookies, and cached image files. This keeps your browsing session private from other people that may use the same computer. This contrasts with normal browsing, where the browser remembers history that you can use even after you’ve restarted your browser.
With Flash Player 10.1 private browsing support, Flash Player will automatically clear any data it might store during a private browsing session, helping to keep your history private.
Cool new feature What’s your thought?
