It is really great to see Adobe open up and todays announcements on the Open Screen Project are nothing short of revolutionary. There are tons of screens out there and today we removed the key barriers to seamless compatibility for any screen, TV, Mobile, Computers, Consoles, DVR's, and all the rest. Developing content for devices is very hard and often the licensing for device runtimes is a huge barrier to use. In removing the barrier for device porting, protocol and format use, and use of the spec to create alternate runtimes it allows Flash Player to reach much farther. It also opens the door to the larger task of format standardization.
The way I see it Adobe/Macromedia was a self contained ecosystem and with the Open Screen Project we are tearing down the walls allowing the garden to escape and grow wildly. The web is going to get much richer, more interactive, more collaborative, and much more fun as a result.
It is a great time to be an Adobe designer and developer!
Go Flash Go!

Great news. Two pieces I am missing in the press releases - timeline/features scope for the "next release of Flash Mobile technology" and resources (phones preferably)/beta programs for the early adopters. Any links to those would be great.
Thank you

What does this mean in short term? What can we actually do with it (now?)
This sounds good at first blush, but it could lead to a nightmare that is similar to CSS spec implementation. One of the big attractions of Flex and Flash is that it is reliably implemented on multiple browsers. If it's not Adobe doing the implementations, does it just become a new model of Martian Headsets?
It means that the SWF, AMF, FLV format spec are available for anyone to use without restriction other than copyright.
It opens competition for Flash Player and allows partners to port the software to many devices.

Hi Ted,
wouldn't it be real great when Adobe opened the source of the Flash player?
That would be an impact...
thanks for the post.
