Even though MAX was two weeks ago stories are still being picked up across the nation. eWeek just ran a story detailing the Qualcomm’s new Brew MP SDK aimed to allow flash developers a seamless mobile delivery platform for their content. Adrian Bridgewater over at ZDNet finally put his notes together to deliver an enlightened article on the future of the platform.
I was able to watch an entire episode of Heroes on Hulu fully “powered by” Adobe Flash with no commercials, it was amazing. I then read an article in my personalized “adobe flash” version of Google News telling me Flash had found it’s way to the PS3. Full screen no less, and on a platform that will have no problem powering even the heaviest flash apps. Possibly even Heavy.com (just playing Heavy, I love you guys and you’ve been serving up some of the best interactive Flash goodness since the days of Napster)
If anyone hasn’t had the opportunity to catch Gene Simmons on Donald Trumps Celebrity apprentice I’ll bring you up to speed. The challenge has him, Stephen Baldwin and some other celebs creating a marketing campaign for a new Kodak photo printer. Except Gene doesn’t care about the printer and decides to re-brand Kodak with the slogan “It’s a Kodak world baby!@”
It’s Marketing Baby! It’s about time Adobe flex’d it’s marketing muscle and broke out an advertising budget to put Flash on centerstage, as a platform, to tell everyone who’s responsible for just about every video watched online (80% actual) and seemingly every amazing experience they’ve had on the web (if you go by the FWA it’s a good 95%). Thanks Adobe, once again!
