Wow… Where do I start? First of all, you may have noticed that the activity on my blog has been rather low the last couple of weeks. June is a pretty hectic month and it’s not always easy to finish a blog post (I have several sitting in my draft folder now) while traveling.

This week, Adobe announced so much cool stuff that I have to catch up with all the news. So here we go…

MAX
Registrations for MAX are now open. Registrations for MAX are now open. Registrations for MAX are now open. Registrations for MAX are now open. This year, MAX offers more than 200 sessions and 100 hands-on labs. If you register before August 31st, you get $200 off the regular price of a full conference pass!

RTMP
As promised/announced back in January, Adobe now published the specs for RTMP. RTMP was designed for high-performance transmission of audio, video, and data between Adobe Flash Platform technologies. RTMP is now available as an open specification to create products and technology that enable delivery of video, audio, and data in the open AMF, SWF, FLV, and F4V formats compatible with Adobe Flash Player.

Flash Player 10 for smart phones
Just last night, Adobe’s CEO Shantanu Narayen announced that we will have a public beta for Flash Player 10 for smart phones at MAX. He also said that we will be initially targeting Android, Windows Mobile, Symbian and Palm webOS devices and that early builds have already been shipped to manufacturers.

Acrobat.com
Acrobat.com now becomes a full online office suite. Recently the team added Presentations to the offering and just this week Tables saw the light of day. Both apps can be found on http://labs.acrobat.com.

AIR
The AIR runtime is now installed on more than 200 million desktop computers worldwide. That’s 200 million in just 16 months. Obviously this is thanks to all the AIR developers out there that actually build applications using the technology. So big kudos to you!

    Thanks for the information. I’m really looking forward to running the Flash Player 10 public beta on my mobile.

    We’ve been working on a Flash Mobile and Device book people may be interested in:

    AdvancED Flash on Devices: Mobile Development with Flash Lite and Flash 10
    http://www.friendsofed.com/book.html?isbn=9781430219040

    Of course, much of the FP10 content is very early, to say the least. Nevertheless, we thought it important to try to get a resource out there … one that covers both Flash Lite development and even early FP10 on devices (Flex and AIR).

    Those interested in developing for Flash Lite specifically, can pick up the Foundation book: http://www.flashmobilebook.com (although it only covers 1.1 and 2.x development, a lot of content can be valuable for developers).
