For immediate release
Support for Flash Player 10 and Adobe AIR to Bring Rich Internet Applications to ARM Powered Devices
ADOBE MAX 2008, SAN FRANCISCO AND CAMBRIDGE, — Nov. 17, 2008 — Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) and ARM [(LSE:ARM); (Nasdaq:ARMH)] today announced a technology collaboration to optimize and enable Adobe® Flash® Player 10 and Adobe AIR™ for ARM Powered® devices, ranging from mobile phones to set-top boxes, mobile Internet devices, televisions, automotive platforms, personal media players and other mobile computing devices. The collaboration is expected to accelerate mobile graphics and video capabilities on ARM platforms to bring rich Internet applications and Web services to mobile devices and consumer electronics worldwide.
The joint technology optimization is targeted for the ARMv6 and ARMv7architectures used in the ARM11™ family and the Cortex™-A series of processors and is expected to be available in the second half of 2009. The partnership stems from the Open Screen Project, a broad Adobe sponsored initiative of industry leaders - including ARM - to deliver a consistent runtime environment across multiple devices by taking advantage of Adobe Flash Player and, in the future, Adobe AIR. The initiative is set to address the challenges of Web browsing on a broad range of screens, and remove the barriers to publish content and applications seamlessly across screens.

Good Evening,?
Thank you for your email regarding the video and rendering issues reported with HTC devices that use the Qualcomm MSM7xxx chipsets.?
HTC have released an official statement regarding this issue.?-------------------------
Public Reactive Statement From HTC - Jan. 22, 2008
In response to recent customer complaints about poor video performance on HTC devices based on the latest Qualcomm MSM7xxx chipsets, HTC is providing the following statement.
HTC is committed to delivering a portfolio of devices that offer a wide variety of communication, connectivity and entertainment functionality.? HTC does not offer dedicated or optimized multimedia devices and can confirm that its Qualcomm MSM7xxx-based devices do not use ATI's Imageon video acceleration hardware.
HTC believes the overall value of its devices based on their combination of functionality and connectivity exceeds their ability to play or render high-resolution video. These devices do still provide a rich multimedia experience comparable to that of most smartphones and enable a variety of audio and video file formats.
HTC values its customers and the overall online community of mobile device enthusiasts and fans. HTC plans to include video acceleration hardware in future video-centric devices that will enable high-resolution video support.??
Until another statement is released by HTC regarding this matter, I am afraid that we cannot comment any further on the matter of driver updates for the current range of devices.
As HTC do not sell the devices directly we are unale to offer you a refund, if you are not happy with your purchase please speak to your retailer.
Welcome on board
Regarding your post. Yes that is one of the standard replies folk have been getting. However we have a long running thread on this subject where this has already been shown. There appear to be other responses from HTC that are more hopefull.
I will close this thread and if you wish to read up or post on this issue see here:

A casual strategy game with an addictive aftertaste. Available in Microsoft Store.
Conquer and Trade is a turn based strategy game for up to four human and/or AI players. It is a modern variation of a classic game from the mid 70's called Star Traders, first published in a book called The People's Book of Computer Games.
In the game you will explore and conquer land, establish companies to exploit the resources of the claimed areas, and trade on the stock of these companies.
In this Moon-based edition, you'll be competing over the ownership of companies that exploit the hidden riches under the lunar surface: water ice, mineral deposits, and (as it is bound to happen) mysterious alien technology!
Game ends when new companies can no longer be founded and only one company remains.
In the free trial version, only a two player game against a single AI opponent is available.
Purchasing the game will unlock
· games against human opponents
· three other AI players, each with unique playing style and skill level
· 3 and 4 player games, with free mix of human and AI players
· global multiplayer: take a match against up to three remote players online!
· global score boards, complete with achievements
· online chat in the Lobby
Summer sale!
In celebration of summer and anticipation of CaT on Mars, you can now have the ad-free version of this game for just 1/3 of the normal price.
Enjoy, and thank you for your support!

Pocket TV is a recent trending app since they released their update with new features and content. Honestly i felt amazed using this app because most of the movies are being uploaded to the app even before famous torrent sites releases. They have been providing movies under many genres like action,drama and many. Other side language wise covering all most all indian movie languages. Even i watched bharat (hindi) on this app they were able to provide a clear print hours after theater release. I noticed their servers are fine and streams run smooth. I really enjoyed this app.

Hello everyone, I just bought the new chromecast with google tv, but then I started to read the google will require new devices on March to have AV1 codec. I was surprised to see that the chromecast doesn’t support it. Now I guess that on my end, there is not a big difference if the device supports AV1 but I was wondering, if it doesn’t support AV 1, will it still get updates from google of future android updates like the android 11? If not I would prefer to wait for their next chromecast so I will have better and longer support
thank you in advance!
This is a much more interesting requirement than just "I want better stuff". AV1 is basically the "royalty free" alternative to HEVC. Its not necessarily BETTER than HEVC, but you don't have to pay royalties to MPEG-LA for its use.
Basically, what is going on is this; Google believes that their media streaming mass is now enough that they can beat down MPEG-LA. Up until now, MPEG-LA has railroaded every silicon vendor into paying them royalties to include AVC and HEVC, and to LEAVE OUT royalty free codecs like Theora, VP9, and AV1. This has, in turn, forced MEDIA VENDORS to use AVC and HEVC encoding for the media that they are distributing, and also paying royalties to MPEG-LA on those -- because they have no alternative since the recipient hardware doesn't support Theora, VP9, or AV1.
But now that Google is making it a requirement, the expectation is that silicon vendors are now going to go back to MPEG-LA and say "Hey screw you, I'll still pay you the royalties for HEVC, but we have to strike out this part of the contract that says we can't also include AV1. We can't sell the chip at all without it, so if you don't like it, suck an egg."
In the short term, which means over the next few YEARS, this will have no impact on you at all, because the media vendors will continue to have to support legacy hardware. But after all of the hardware in use was made AFTER the AV1 requirement came into effect, the media vendors will have the option to drop HEVC and save on the royalties. After the media vendors drop HEVC, then so can the hardware vendors and MPEG-LA can die.
Even if you are a consumer of pirated media, remember that pirates don't pay royalties and operate with the objective of sticking it to "the man". That means that the stuff pirates encode will continue to use AVC and HEVC in order to maximize consumption.
Now as far as gaining future updates goes, Google is saying that they want NEW devices to support it. Legacy hardware will certainly NOT be limited in this manner. Also, Google isn't subject to these requirements -- hypocrisy is legally permissible, although it would likely be bad form.
And don't get caught up in the wait for all the amazing stuff that is coming "next year". There will *always* be something better just around the corner if you wait, so you will end up waiting literally forever.
