Adobe’s Open Screen Project

April 30th, 2008 by Ryan Stewart

We are announcing the Open Screen Project today in an effort to free up a lot of the restrictions around the Flash Player and make it easy to port to any device you want. We are removing any restrictions on the SWF, FLV, and F4V specifications as well as planning to get rid of the licensing fees for the next major version of the Flash Player and Adobe AIR for devices.

One of Adobe’s goals is to give developers a platform where they can be confident that their users will get the same experience across devices and operating systems. The Open Screen Project is another step in that direction. We haven’t talked a lot about Adobe AIR for devices but it’s a big part of our plans. We want you to be able to create desktop applications and native applications for devices side by side using the same web technologies.

Over the coming year we should be providing more information about what the mobile experience on AIR will look like. Stay tuned.

    Please remember those of us passionate about Adobe products on Linux. Specifically in my case Ubuntu Linux I’ve had success with Adobe Air apps working.

    Looking at an app for Twitter on Linux requires all kinds of dependencies *GNOME version. With Thwirl for Adobe Air it installed without a hitch. Bravo! eBay Desktop, Analytics Reporting Suite, FLVPlay and RichFLV all work. As does the Pownce Adobe Air client.
