10 leading CEOs discuss the Open Screen Project and Flash
CEOs from ARM, Broadcom, DoCoMo, Google, HTC, Motorola, NVIDIA, Palm, QUALCOMM, and RIM talk about how they’re bringing Flash Platform technologies to their devices and platforms as part of the Open Screen Project and why they think it’s important to have Flash on their devices and platforms.
HD video (720p) on a netbook? With NVIDIA & Flash Player you can!
If you’ve toyed around with netbooks, you know that they are not the fastest machines you can get these days. Playing HD video is out of the question… or… WAS out of the question. Today German site Notebook Journal posted a video showing a demo of a netbook running a new NVIDIA (partner in the Open Screen Project) graphics chip. The NVIDIA ION chip does hardware acceleration for Flash Video and – as you can see in the video below – does an amazing job at it.
The video starts by showing an HD clip on a device not using hardware acceleration. Around the 1:20 minute mark, you can see how big the difference is when using NVIDIA’s new chipset.
