14 DAY TRIAL // Adobe has announced earlier today that its Flash Player 10.1 is set to soon become available on a variety of mobile phones, including Windows Mobile and webOS-based ones, which will see it during the ongoing year, or Symbian and Android, on which the solution is set to come in early 2010. Following Adobe's announcement, the Flash Player 10.1 seems to become the hero of the day, and a video showing Palm Pre running three instances of Flash at the same time has just emerged into the wild to prove just that.
When it comes to Flash Player and the members of Adobe's Open Screen Project, most of you might already know that some of the leading handset vendors around the world already joined the initiative and are supporting the runtime environment, including Nokia, Palm, Motorola and others. At the same time, there are also those who just came aboard, including Google and Research In Motion, and they also iterated commitment to support the presence of Flash on various mobile phones.
The release of Flash Player for mobile phones powered by different mobile operating systems is something that we were already expecting, and the same applies to the specific features the software solution was said to come with, including support for the accelerometer present within almost all of the latest smartphones on the market, or the multi-touch capabilities Adobe announced for the platform.
The owners of a device running under Palm's webOS solution (only Palm Pre for the moment, yet Palm's Pixi should also emerge in the near future), as well as those using a device powered by Microsoft's Windows Mobile platform will be the first ones to enjoy the Flash Player 10.1, it seems. For sure, Palm Pre's owners are the happiest ones, considering that their smartphone is only four months old, and that Palm joined only recently the Open Screen Project. Take a look at the video below to see the first webOS-based handset playing around with Adobe's Flash technology.
