Adobe launches Open Screen Project

May 20th, 2008 by Jose Manuel Cristobal

Until now, Adobe has not been able to massively deploy Flash on mobile phones. Flash Lite was nothing but a wannabe, with little impact in the target platforms. Have you ever played a Flash Lite game on your S60 device? neither me. Oh, and the platform is not bad, at least under a programmer perspective. But it is not Flash.

Now, Adobe has come up with a new initiative to relaunch its strategy. It’s called Open Screen and it means to create a unique platform that would allow the old write-once run-everywhere created by Java about ten years ago.

To do so, Adobe has opened up its Flash APIs along with other technologies to create an open platform, promising seamless deployment in every single platform available (who said fear?), from mobile phones to TVs. At least, Adobe has surrounded themselves with some of the most remarkable players in IT World. Take a look at the upper picture to find the names.
