STMicroelectronics and ST-Ericsson are working with Adobe to accelerate Adobe Flash Player 10.1 and Adobe AIR on their chipsets with best-in-class multimedia and graphics capabilities that will be used in both smartphones and connected digital-home devices.
Led by Adobe, the Open Screen Project aims to deliver a consistent and widely-adopted runtime environment for both web content and standalone applications across all devices leveraging the Flash Platform. ST-Ericsson´s and STMicroelectronics’ collaboration with Adobe is intended to make it more straightforward for manufacturers to develop portable and consumer products that can support a rich multimedia experience.
ST-Ericsson and Adobe will work together to integrate Adobe Flash Player 10.1 and Adobe AIR into ST-Ericsson platforms. The first smartphone platform ready to support Flash Player 10.1 is the U8500.
“By providing built-in support for one of the most commonly-used rich-media technology on the internet, enabling video streaming and other highly-popular web services, we are taking the smartphone browsing experience to another level,” said Marc Cetto, Senior Vice President and head of 3G and Multimedia division at ST-Ericsson.
“Flash extends consumers’ multimedia experience by adding to the broadcast services’ access to internet content and applications,” said Laurent Remont, Director of Advanced System Architecture, Home Entertainment and Displays, STMicroelectronics. “Our collaboration with Adobe will deliver implementations of Flash for the digital home on current and recently announced set-top box and digital TV chips, enabling consumers to view on-demand high-definition video, 3D graphics, browse the full web, and interact with rich applications on their televisions.”
