Adobe, Intel and Broadcom bringing Flash and AIR to a TV, set-top box or Blu-ray player near you.

ospOne of my predictions for 2009 is that we’ll finally see the convergence of desktop, mobile and devices. Back in May we announced the Open Screen Project in which Adobe partners up with (currently) 20 hardware manufacturers, content providers, networks, … to bring Flash and AIR everywhere.

Yesterday, Intel announced that it has ported and optimized the Flash player for its Media Processor CE 3100. Today, Broadcom joins the party by announcing that it is also adding the Flash player to its system-on-a-chip (SoC) platform.

These new chips are built to deliver rich Web content and Flash based applications to Blu-ray players, set-top boxes or even directly to TVs and thus eliminating the set-top box.

Both partners are expected to ship the platforms as early as the first half of this year but if you happen to be in Las Vegas this week for CES, make sure you stop by their booths. Both Intel and Broadcom are demoing their new chips this week!
