14Sep Countdown to Mobile Flash Player 10
4,028 views
Adobe announced that this years MAX event will be one of the most significant ones in the history of the event. There are lots of rumors floating around on what might be unveiled during the event. We know from enough sources that Adobe plans to showcase Flash Player 10 running on almost all major mobile devices (excluding Apple since they hate the idea of application framework competition). In addition, there has been some rumors from Adobe twitter accounts that a new improved desktop Flash Player 10 version will be released (perhaps faster??). Lastly, here is a guess of my own, Nintendo Wii may also get FP10 because they have shown that they are working with Opera and Adobe to port over the player- as last month Flash Lite 3.1 was released in an update. So remember to set your calendars for October 4th to the 7th as it might a historic day for the Flash platform as a whole. It’s very exciting to imagine having full Flash Player 10 Flex applications running on my Android G1!

I don’t like to repeat rumors… but I’ve heard that Matt Chotin is going to show up in a Voldemort costume and Kevin Lynch will dress as Harry Potter. Not sure what to make of that one.
