#ADOBE FLASH FOR ANDROID HONEYCOMB FOR ANDROID#
Stage Video support is planned for Android 3.0, also known as Honeycomb, and Tablet OS. Improved support for hardware acceleration in 10.2 via its Stage Video technology has meant that HD video only uses 15 percent CPU on Windows and Macintosh computers, according to Murarka. Murarka said the next version of the Flash Player, 10.2, has been sent to Adobe's partners and will start appearing in the next few weeks.

The software maker expects that number to grow to over 200 million by the end of 2011, as more than 50 Flash and AIR-capable tablets are set to ship this year. AIR is supported by over 84 million phones and tablets, according to Adobe. "The partnership between Nokia and Microsoft simplifies and broadens the reach of a platform that we hope to have supported as soon as possible," he said.įlash Player is not Adobe's only choice for playing mobile media, and its AIR cross-platform development technology now accounts for more than 1,500 applications in the Android Marketplace in just two months. While Windows Phone support has yet to materialise, Murarka is hopeful about the effects of the Nokia-Microsoft tie-up on Flash's future. In addition, Adobe expects mobile Flash to be supported by more than just Android soon, with support from platforms such as HP's WebOS and Research In Motion's (RIM) Tablet OS due in the next few months. "There's been over 100 percent year-on-year growth in the amount of video streamed by Flash, with over 120 petabytes a month used by both desktop and mobile," Murarka told ZDNet UK in a phone briefing.įlash Player is currently certified on over 35 different devices, and Adobe expects it to be installed on over 130 million smartphones by the end of 2011.
