ARM, Adobe partner to boost Internet Apps; awards for CamSemi, Amino
Adobe Systems Inc and ARM announced a collaboration to enable Adobe Flash Player 10 and Adobe AIR for ARM powered devices, ranging from mobile phones to set-top boxes, mobile Internet devices, televisions, automotive platforms, personal media players and other mobile computing devices.
The collaboration is expected to accelerate mobile graphics and video capabilities on ARM platforms to bring rich Internet applications and Web services to mobile devices and consumer electronics worldwide.
The joint technology optimization is targeted for the ARMv6 and ARMv7 architectures used in the ARM11 family and the Cortex-A series of processors and is expected to be available in the second half of 2009. The partnership stems from the Open Screen Project, a broad Adobe sponsored initiative of industry leaders - including ARM - to deliver a consistent runtime environment across multiple devices by taking advantage of Adobe Flash Player and, in the future, Adobe AIR. The initiative is set to address the challenges of Web browsing on a broad range of screens, and remove the barriers to publish content and applications seamlessly across screens.
ARM is the operating division of ARM Holdings plc and one of the largest and most successful companies HQed in Silicon Fen, the area known as the Cambridge Cluster of High Tech companies.
