Financial wires are reporting that market speculation now claims Apple could be on the verge of acquiring Adobe Systems, Sony or even Walt Disney!
Apple are looking at buying something fairly large. But it’s not Facebook.
And I am pretty sure it’s not any of the names being bandied around so far by any of the various industry and financial news sources. It’s also not as “big” as people are suggesting.
Think about it carefully people, and it might dawn on you.
Today we’re making available a preview of Adobe® Flash® Player that we’re calling “Square.” This preview includes support for two new areas, namely enhanced support for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 9 Beta and native 64-bit support for all major desktop operating systems including Linux, Mac, and Windows.
For those of you that have been waiting to install a stable version of Flash with hardware acceleration. Or those that have been struggling with browser crashes and machine lockups with the Beta Gala Flash build. Well, your pain is over. Maybe.
Adobe hasn’t given any signs that it’s close to porting Flash to webOS, Palm said in an AT&T online app development seminar on Thursday. When asked about the multiple delays, a representative said that Palm didn’t ‘know what the hold-up is’ with getting it ready. Adobe itself hasn’t commented on the state of the webOS version or of other platforms.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 9 (Reuters) – Adobe Systems Inc (ADBE ) on Wednesday said it sees its popular Flash Player on more than 250 million smartphones by the end of 2012 despite Apple Inc’s (AAPL ) ban on developers from using the popular multimedia software on its iPhone.
…link to Google’s official Froyo update package—a compressed zip archive that can be manually installed on unmodified Nexus One devices.
Before you try to manually update, it’s important to note that this update method is not officially endorsed by Google. The risk of bricking or similar undesirable outcome is minor, but still exists. Users who don’t want to take any risks should wait for the OTA update.
If you’re hoping to use Flash, you might want to take a look at this piece from electronista.
Adobe’s launch of Flash 10.1 for Android is almost single-handedly responsible for slowing down the experience of the browser and the Android phone themselves, early adopters have discovered in a test.
The plugin is still in a beta stage and has room for optimization, but some of the slowdown can be attributed to Flash itself.
Google says it aims to create an open web standard for video, one that doesn’t have closed, proprietary ownership like MPEG LA’s H.264
So we now have an obscure web video standard (VP8), currently without any hardware support, being pushed by Google against H.264, which is currently supported by Apple and Microsoft – and does have hardware acceleration.
In the short term VP8 doesn’t look like a good bet for mobile. But I am sure Google aim to remedy that for Android at least.
Google have enlisted an ally in this push as well :
Adobe’s CEO Kevin Lynch mentioned at the end of his presentation that Adobe would be pushing out a VP8-compatible version of Flash to its 1 billion Flash clients; one that would be a VP8 Trojan Horse for Apple’s Safari browser and Internet Explorer.
Internet Explorer and Safari have about 66% of the browser market (H.264)
Chrome, Firefox, and Opera have the other 33% (VP8)
Google’s Youtube makes up about 40% of all video content on the Web
The $600 Flash authoring tool is the only way to produce Flash applications.
The free Mac OS X Developer tools (that require an $800+ Mac computer) are the only way to produce iPhone and iPad applications.
Both systems are as closed as each other.
Adobe claims Flash is open.
Apple makes no such claims. If you want to make iPhone or iPad apps you use Mac OS and Xcode, take it or leave it.
If you choose to leave it the alternative is HTML. A truly open platform for which authoring is as simple as editing text. There’s many HTML rendering engine implementations, the best few are totally open source with Apple being the major contributor to the best one, WebKit.
Adobe: not open, claim to be.
Apple: not open, don’t claim to be, contribute heavily to that which is truly open.
