5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
One way around this is to shift more of the work onto the graphics processor, and that's what Adobe is aiming to do with the assistance of Nvidia and Broadcom. Nvidia and Adobe have announced that they are working on Flash acceleration across the Nvidia range, including the Tegra, a system-on-a-chip intended for smartphones, netbooks, mobile Internet devices and so on. Many Tegra-based devices were revealed at Computex, where the Adobe/Nvidia announcement was made. "Nvidia and Adobe share precisely the same vision – visually compelling applications running on every device, said Michael Rayfield, general manager, handheld business at Nvidia. "Consumers don't have to sacrifice streaming video performance on small inexpensive platforms such as netbooks. A Tegra-based platform enables the rich, smooth playback they expect from a desktop PC," he added. Please read on for information about the Adobe/Broadcom announcement. |
