SAN FRANCISCO - Inspired by a new generation of smartphones, Adobe Systems has established a new, higher capacity to extend its Flash technology on mobile devices.

The company has worked for many years to realize its lightweight Flash technology for mobile phones, but is currently working to bring the full Flash Player 10 for a high-end smartphones, CTO Kevin Lynch said Adobe maximum conference here.

“We have a changing Flash Player 10 Mobile,” said Lynch. “We are fully Flash Player, and who work at the higher end of the mobile market.”

Adobe, of course, this is not the only company that wants to supply Plumbing for applications that run on mobile devices and computers. Sun Microsystems had some success spread of Java for mobile phones, and he has worked for several months on the amateur alternative called JavaFX. And Microsoft, which also has legions of programmers who are familiar with its technology and development tools, working on Windows Mobile.

But there is no Flash for iPhone
Lynch showed Flash Player 10 is working on a device in the Nokia Symbian operating system, Microsoft Windows Mobile, and Google Android operating system. But a typical example of a new family of smart phones, the Apple iPhone, still remains only to wish list.

“This requires a little more baking. We need to test the taste of apples in the head chef,” Lynch said as he received from the iPhone Pan full of mobile devices, making enthusiastic whistles and cheering from the crowd of thousands of disappointed hubbub. But Adobe is working on it, “he said.

Naturally, no one from Apple co-phase Lynch. Google Android leader Andy Rubin, however, pretended after Lynch in a demonstration of Flash T-Mobile G1, the first phone company Google mobile operating systems.

This Adobe was able to bring its software for Google Android confirms the strategy to build an “open platform (designed) to give the best Internet experience on mobile phones,” Rubin said. “Today, seeing, Flash 10 makes me feel very warm. It was exactly what Android was built for.”

Flash is used for streaming video to YouTube, and Lynch has Windows Mobile phone is playing a video posted on the Google service. (The iPhone can display videos YouTube, but only after they have been transcoded in streaming format.)

Fresh air
Flash got its start as Macromedia technologies that could provide Web sites and basic animation games. Adobe acquired Macromedia, and embraced his vision of turning the Flash in a much better foundation for the computer. One key to that is the foundation of what is called AIR, Adobe Integrated Runtime, downloadable software package that allows people to run Flash applications outside the browser and when you are offline.

The New York Times is working on AIR applications that allow people to read the International Herald Tribune, in a format that looks more like the newspaper and less like a Web page. This includes keyboard navigation view in the equivalent of flipping through the paper, crosswords which could be filled, and video advertising.

It checks for new content every few minutes, but it can be used offline, too, with stories and photos that have already been downloaded, said Michael Zimbalist, vice president of research and development in the Times.

Adobe AIR 1.5 released Monday, that the legacy version of Flash Player 10 abilities, such as better text rendering, support for right-to-left text scripts such as Arabic, multichannel audio and 3D effects.

Like Flash, the air headed for the mobile world. Lynch also showed 1,5 AIR, working at the base of Linux Aigo miniature computer - that Intel likes to call MID, Internet or mobile device. It uses a processor Intel Atom, and the same New York Times application ran on it.

Creating a Flash Lite easier
Although Adobe has elevated the status of the full Flash Player 10 to mobile devices, it is still working on Flash Lite.

Lynch acknowledged that it is difficult to actually run the Flash content with existing technologies. Now, however, Flash Lite application can be as simple Web-mail, he said, and, if Flash Lite is not installed, it can be obtained automatically.

“You can set your application built with Flash, and expand it, as Windows Mobile smartphones, and Symbian, and we hope to get to Android, but,” said Lynch. “If you do not have Flash Lite, it detects that and install it on your mobile phone for air.”

Flash includes an automatic update technology so that users tend to have a current version installed, and Adobe plans to keep that philosophy with its push to the mobile sector, he added. Partners to help that process of renewal include Cisco Systems, NTT DoCoMo, Verizon, Comcast, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Qualcomm, and ARM.

Lynch also boasted that Adobe exceed its goals for Flash on mobile phones.

“Our goal (was done) billion Flash-enabled phones by 2010,” said Lynch. “We really are going to get 1 billion Flash-enabled phones by 2009.”
