The project is dedicated to driving rich internet experiences to not only the pc but to a broad range of consumer devices like smartphones and televisions.
The AOSP wil be taking advantage of the flash player and, in the future, AIR to provide a consistent runtime environment.

Adobe Open Screen Project
I can hear you think: hmmm, nice sales talk.
Read on…

In order to make this mission a reality, Adobe showed its commitment with a few (BIG) announcements:

  • Removing restrictions on use of the SWF and FLV/F4V specifications
    Now everyone can create swf players.
  • Publishing the device porting layer APIs for Adobe Flash Player
    If you like, you can create a flash player for your specific device.
  • Publishing the Adobe Flash® Cast™ protocol and the AMF protocol for robust data services
    a rich offline portal solution for mobile operators and content providers
  • Removing licensing fees
    I think we can haf fun with this one…
    Now you can embed the flash player on the device of your desire

Now you have a reason to be excited about the future of flash and AIR.
The blogosphere has gone crazy about this last day…

Singularity is the first large-scale online web conference in the world.
Singularity is over 100 of the world’s top web visionaries, developers, designers, thought leaders, and celebrities.
Singularity is three days of talks over multiple tracks.
In 2008, Singularity will define Web ‘08.

So, the conference is all online…
But what about the networking and social gatherings that come with a conference? The point (read as: what, I think, will make this thing big) is making this thing global by creating local hubs. Everyone can organize a gathering where people can join to view a session or even host sessions themselves!
As far as Belgium goes, I realy hope that the Adobe User Group (aug) will organize something…

While attending LIFT, Aral gave a interview to Zian Marro from télévision suisse for Nouvo. You can see the interview here:
