“This release is redesigned from the ground up to build a new foundation that not just scales across the Mac, Windows and Linux, but for the first time supports a wide range of mobile and emerging TV platforms,” he said. Still, he cautioned that Flash Player 10.1 doesn’t have loads of new features. For instance, double tapping on a Flash object on a page will automatically zoom in on the object, he said. It will incorporate some other new features aimed at simplifying viewing Web pages on small devices. Otherwise, Flash Player 10.1 will be built into new phones that may appear by the end of the year or early next, Muraka said.įlash Player 10.1 for mobile phones will support multitouch, gestures, soft keyboards and other input methods like accelerometers, he said. That would work similarly to the way computer operating systems allow people to download the most recent Flash Players when they visit sites that require it. It will also be possible for an operating system provider to display a pop-up for users who visit a Web site that requires Flash Player 10.1, explaining that they need the player and letting them download it immediately, he said.
The software can be pushed out to users over the air or it can be made available in application stores where users can choose to download it, he said. The Consumer Electronics Show and Mobile World Congress are two large conferences early in the year where many phone makers announce new products. “We may not see a huge number of these devices available on Tuesday, but the pipeline for Christmas, CES, Mobile World Congress next year is really exciting,” he said. If existing phones can handle it, Adobe will work with the phone makers to determine how to distribute the player to users. “We have to work with each platform company to figure out which phones can support it,” said Muraka.
