Adobe Magazine winter issue

Get inspired Adobe released Winter Edition of proxy magazine.
“Design is a vision, a person’s interpretation of the world, their everyday life, and how they absorb. It is a unique art form that journeys from vastness to fruition and at times, back to vastness. In this issue, Gerwin Schmidt, our guest designer, challenges us to remember this and keep our eyes, minds, and hearts open. And challenge design ideas in order to inspire others to reexamine their own perspectives on art and life.”

Cool stuff as usual 🙂

Adobe Pitches New Flash Streaming Platform as iPhone Killer for Mobile Operators

Flash CS3 Professional, Dreamweaver CS3, Fireworks CS3

Adobe unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, a new client/server streaming media delivery platform with a new mobile profile built to Adobe’s server backend is designed to enable personalize-able user interfaces (UIs) that can be branded by operators and delivered over the air to subscriber phones.

The new mobile profile client software empowers mobile operators to monetize the UI “in the way that ringtones and wall papers are monetized,” says Anup Murarka, director of technical marketing for Adobe’s mobile and devices unit. “You can make the entire UI brandable and we think there is a revenue opportunity there. For operators, we also can elevate key data services to the top of the UI, so you don’t force users to drill down to discover hot new services.”

It’s intresting that people are talking more about mobile experiences and “The evolution of mobile has changed with the iPhone” how it can be improve more or give a another great user experiences to mobile users. Intresting! 🙂

Adobe brings the power of AVM2 (ActionScript 3.0/ECMAScript 4) to mobile devices “likely to be Flash lite 4”

flash lite 4

Great news!! coming from Adobe for contributing a new virtual machine to the open source Mozilla Tamarin project. This new VM – internally called QVM – known to the outside world as Tamarin-Tracing essentially brings the power of AVM2 (ActionScript 3.0/ECMAScript 4) to mobile devices.
So power your imagination to see this as a first step into bringing AS3 Flash content and eventually Flex/MXML to mobile and devices. i must say that its exciting times ahead.

The QVM will likely be what executes Flash Lite 4, the next generation of the Flash mobile spec, allowing full AS3 compliance. In theory, this will enable Flex users to author for devices as well and open up mobile development to an even larger base of Flash developers.

Parts of QVM “tamarin-tracing” are written in the Forth programming language because you are create really efficient VMs in 50K of memory runable on just about any device available today. QVM makes AS3 bytecode execute on a majority of devices that consumers already own and is a key part of the future Flash Player and AIR strategies. The open sourcing of QVM will accelerate our device strategy and allow EcmaScript to scale up and down independent of system resources.

Exciting times ahead 🙂
