Adobe will accelerate Flash ‘in a couple of months’
In the recent Mac OS X 10.6.3 update, Apple added a Video Decode Acceleration Framework for accessing H.264 decoding hardware present in the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, 320M, and GT 330M GPUs. It turns out that this is precisely one of the APIs Adobe was hoping for.
…
Adobe plans to have Flash Player 10.1 ready for the general public in the next couple of months, and it will include a number of performance improvements on Mac OS X, especially on Snow Leopard. Adding support for Apple’s new APIs just wasn’t possible at this late stage in development, but as Rozen said, an update to support hardware-accelerated video decoding should be available shortly after the 10.1 release.
Good grief. What do they actually do in the daytime at Adobe? A couple of months!??
Perhaps they should hire some iPhone Indie Developers. Most of whom can put an entire game or application together in “a couple of months”.
It’s very easy to see why Apple has lost any patience with them.
