The Open Screen Project

I recently completed a survey for Fierce Wireless, which asked about the mobile strategies my company was implementing.  It soon became apparent that the survey was really about Abode's mobile efforts, and was gathering information on how effectively Adobe made it's presence in the mobile space felt.

Apparently, Adobe has been quite busy in the mobile space for some time. Flash Lite, Adobe Labs and the Open Screen Project are a few of Adobe's more well known efforts, but they have been actively engaged in developing mobile solutions, to allow developers and end-users to benefit from the Adobe suite of products and services.

Adobe's mobile efforts are similar to those of Apple, Google, and more recently handset manufacturer, Nokia, who are taking steps to offer their current user base greater utility, driven by extentions of their current capabilities.  Adobe's efforts are equally ambitious, with the announcement of the Open Screen Project Fund, which they hope will generate Apple SDK, and Android-like responses within the developer communities, that will translate into greater Adobe-based mobile applications for end-users.

Will Adobe open up their own App Store?  Who knows.  Ultimately, I was glad to have been included in the survey, because it gave me a chance to look into Adobe's efforts, and extend my knowledge of all that is mobile.  If you're not up-to-speed on Adobe, definitely check them out.
