Adobe is kicking off its Adobe MAX developer conference by announcing that version 10.1 of its Flash Player will run on mobile and embedded devices just as it does on the desktop. The culmination of its Open Screen Project launched last year, the update to the rather ubiquitous browser plugin will finally synchronize the Flash experience on all platforms with the exception of arguably one of the most successful smartphones: Apple's iPhone.

Previously, Adobe offered Flash Lite for some mobile operating systems, which was essentially an older version of Flash optimized for the lower-power processors in cell phones and other mobile devices. Adobe announced the Open Screen Project last year in an attempt to bring a single, ubiquitous platform for developers to deliver rich media applications to desktops and mobile devices without requiring separate development. Flash Player 10.1 attempts to provide a single runtime that should run identically on a Palm Pre, for instance, as it does on a Dell Mini or a Mac Pro. It will be optimized for netbooks and so-called "smartbooks" in addition to smartphone platforms, and will utilize GPU acceleration whenever possible. Flash Lite will still be available for lower-end devices.
