Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro Goes Mobile
February 25th, 2010
Adobe® Acrobat® Connect® Pro™ is a web-conferencing tool and it’s one of the best examples of a realtime collaboration RIA app on the internet.
What if you don’t have a PC with you and still want to attend an online meeting. One of the features Connect Pro has is to connect people on a telephone via VOIP bridge so they can hear and participate by voice. But there are situations, when you want to fully attend the meeting via mobile.
Today Adobe introduced Adobe Connect Pro Mobile for iPhone, which you can download for free from iTunes. You can see the shared desktop (slides, pictures…), watch the live camera and chat. All simplified to fit the screen and usability on the iPhone.
Connect Pro is a nice example of a Contextual App - the app running the same context with adjusted user experience to fit the best on different devices.
All written in ActionScript 3.0
What’s even better is that Connect Pro and Connect Pro Mobile are both written completely in Flash/ActionScript 3.0. iPhone version is standalone app compiled to native bytecode using Adobe Packager for iPhone (available later this year). At Mobile World Congress 2010 we have announced AIR 2.0 for Mobile Devices and previewed Connect Pro Mobile running on Android (Motorola Droid). Which is simply the same code written and compiled in the next generation of Flash Pro to Android and iPhone. Android version was just a preview but it’s supposed to be available in the future for download as well. Together with this - AIR 2.0 is planned to be available in the second half of 2010. Basically you’ll be able to build your apps in Flash Pro by writing one base code and simplify porting to different devices.

Flash Gaming on NVIDIA Tablets
February 17th, 2010
Hello from Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona. Tablet - the word you can hear all around. NVIDIA is actually showing many different kinds of tablets running Flash Player 10.1 as well as AIR. They are running on ARM-based NVIDIA Tegra GPUs and can also play HD video in Flash very smooth. The Flash Player itself is accelerated by this specific hardware. Adobe cooperates closely with NVIDIA (OpenScreenProject partner) on close integration.

So why don’t you just take a ride with one these Flash Gaming Engines and push the limits of web gaming today.
You can also watch MAX 2009 session GPU acceleration in the new Flash Player.
