At Adobe Max 2009 conference, Adobe CTO, Kevin Lynch discussed the future of Flash on mobile devices. He demonstrated Flash Player 10.1 on different phones.

Adobe® Flash® Player 10.1 is the first runtime release of the Open Screen Project that enables uncompromised Web browsing of expressive applications, content and video across devices. With support for a broad range of mobile devices, including smartphones, netbooks, smartbooks and other Internet-connected devices, Flash Player 10.1 allows your content to reach your customers wherever they are.

The release of Flash Player 10.1 represents a milestone for web developers to deploy Flash based engaging content on new platforms with full hardware acceleration, multi-touch, and accelerometer support. Users will be able to access rich Flash based content through their mobile devices on the go.

Educators will be able to use Flash pro to develop  new fully interactive didactic content including lectures’ text and images, animations,  audio and video, and self-assessment modules for their students or use their existing Flash material and publish it to Flash Player 10.1 format.

A public developer beta of the browser-based runtime is expected to be available for Windows® Mobile, Palm® webOS and desktop operating systems including Windows, Macintosh and Linux later this year. Public betas for Google® Android™ and Symbian® OS are expected to be available in early 2010. In addition, Adobe and RIM announced a joint collaboration to bring Flash Player to Blackberry® smartphones, and Google joined close to 50 other industry players in the Open Screen Project initiative.
