![]() Open Screen Project does represent a change from the status quo. With a variety of mobile devices, Adobe hopes that Flash and AIR, along with underlying video codecs and the SWF and FLV formats, will be the common denominator, in the same way that the Flash Player became the common denominator for audio and video playback, emerging from a sea of competing formats and players in the late 90s. This line on the about page says it all: “The Adobe® Flash® Platform will provide the consistent runtime environment envisioned by Open Screen Project partners.” That means a world beyond x86 – the world where Flash has thrived.Īdobe’s answer to all of this is something it calls the Open Screen Project, which isn’t entirely open, isn’t really a project, but does, um, involve screens. In fact, look globally and beyond the Apple MacBook-infested Brooklyn and Bay Area coffee shop, and a huge chunk of the world’s population is using mobile devices before what has traditionally been considered computers. Add all of those devices together, and you have a huge critical mass. NVIDIA is even using ARM brains in their new architectures. ARM, the microprocessor company, is behind processor architectures powering not only Apple mobile devices but Android, Linux, and Symbian mobiles and soon more tablets and netbook-style devices. You can sum up the reason with just one name – not iPhone, not iPad, but ARM. With mobile platforms becoming more popular, though, the status quo has started to look shaky. What’s driving some of this discussion now is the fact that Adobe has been so slow porting Flash to other architectures, particularly mobile they’ve been content, instead, to soak up license fees for an inferior Flash Lite product. Flash – no matter how much people hate it – is already so deeply entrenched that the matter had barely been considered up for debate. Let’s back up and consider how we got here. ARM and Hammer: How Mobile is Upsetting the Status Quo Now, I’m all for The Future and optimism and whatnot, but unfortunately in this case the gulf between people’s logic and reality is enormous. In January, as well, both YouTube and Vimeo have unveiled new players based on HTML5’s video tag support, following in the footsteps of DailyMotion. And that’s only the beginning of the trouble, as you’ll see.)īut the iPad alone isn’t all that’s driving this discussion. (HTML5 players, by the way, aren’t even embeddable yet, so there’s no way I can avoid broken links on CDM. The iPad doesn’t let people choose, and it doesn’t really offer a workable solution for sites like this one. And I will say, while I’m no fan of Flash, Adobe has a point: I don’t think you’ll come to the same conclusion after you examine the situation with video tag support. Apple will save us!”Ī typical post: The Irony of the iPad: A GREAT Day for Open Technologies The best way to get rid of Flash is for Apple to force Flash off their device. Flash sucks – it’s slow, it’s proprietary, it crashes. “The iPad’s approach to content is a good thing. The release of the iPad last week has brought on a fresh spate of Flash bashing. ![]() ![]() Photo ( CC-BY-SA) Niels Heidenreich, complete with rant.
