Adobe’s Flash lite Not Suited For IPhone, Apple CEO Says!!

apple, iphone

Intresting news are coming up from everywhere that Adobe’s Flash lite Not Suited For IPhone, Apple CEO Steve Jobs Says!! as he put it on Tuesday, Apple’s iPhone, with all its cutting-edge mobile Internet trickery, needs something much better than the current Flash player that Adobe makes for cellphones. The Flash Player option that fits the bill is made for devices like laptops that are larger than the iPhone; as a consequence, it performs too slowly on the iPhone.

“There’s this missing product in the middle,” Jobs said.

Silverlight on Nokia – What It Means for Flash Lite Developers

 silverlight-flash

A nice post via bill comparing “Silverlight on Nokia – What It Means for Flash Lite Developers” Bill gives some thoughts and views how a developer can be effected or may be intrested using new technologies and what kind of strategy Adobe is applying to promote Flash lite. a long way to go.

Some of the points:

If you’re a mobile developer or business decision maker considering any technology for mobile development then there are questions that you should have:

  • What’s the addressable market supporting the technology
  • What’s the designer/developer workflow
  • What tools do I need
  • Can I leverage my skills or do I need to learn new ones
  • How do I distribute my content
  • Is the content inside/outside the mobile browser
  • What’s the developer community like
  • Can I reuse assets from the web
  • Can this technology allow me to have a multi-screen experience

Well!! i love Adobe Flash lite and it really gives me more ways to express my creativity which i love it 🙂 not sure how silverlight will be promising to me!!

Adobe Pushes DRM for Flash

Flash CS3 Professional, Dreamweaver CS3, Fireworks CS3

I found an intresting post via Electronic Frontier Foundation that “Now Adobe, which controls Flash and Flash Video, is trying to change that with the introduction of DRM restrictions in version 9 of its Flash Player and version 3 of its Flash Media Server software. Instead of an ordinary web download, these programs can use a proprietary, secret Adobe protocol to talk to each other, encrypting the communication and locking out non-Adobe software players and video tools. We imagine that Adobe has no illusions that this will stop copyright infringement — any more than dozens of other DRM systems have done so — but the introduction of encryption does give Adobe and its customers a powerful new legal weapon against competitors and ordinary users through the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).”
Intresting !!
