Adobe Flash Player for Smartphones excludess iPhone and BlackBerry
June 27th, 2009 | by Jhananthi Janakiraman |This is sure to surprise many. Recently Adobe released a beta version of its Flash player for smartphones. Although the company included Google’s Android, Nokia’s Symbian OS, Windows Mobile and the Palm’s webOS it omitted two major contenders. You guessed right. The two are Apple’s iPhone and RIM’s BlackBerry. It is a known fact that Adobe Flash Player is very important in computers. Now the company has extended the software onto mobile operating systems since smartphones have exploded into mainstream.
Adobe sources said that the company was working with Apple but it required more application program interfaces (APIs) and better cooperation to offer the Adobe Flash capabilities to the iPhone. No mention of BlackBerry here. Also there was information that the beta version will be released to developers at Adobe’s MAX conference in October.
The company has ported the current Flash Player 10 to smartphones and has provided partner firms with early versions of the release baring BlackBerry and iPhone.
