SubscribeI happened to be in San Jose when Apple announced the new iPad (http://www NULL.apple NULL.com/ipad/). I was in town for an Adobe video influencers event. The morning of the announcement, I was having breakfast with Rachel Luxemburg (http://www NULL.rluxemburg NULL.com/) – the coordinator for Adobe’s community programs. We were watching the announcement via TWIT.tv (http://twit NULL.tv/) as Alex Lindsay (http://twitter NULL.com/alexlindsay) and Leo Laporte (http://leoville NULL.com/) did a live stream of the event. The next table over from us in the hotel restaurant, were a dozen or so of my colleagues from the video world – also fully engaged with Apple’s announcement.

Adobe Strobe Media Framework: open industry media players
This year at NAB, Adobe (http://www NULL.adobe NULL.com) announced Strobe: a framework for building media players that extends the capabilities of the Adobe Flash Platform. (http://www NULL.adobe NULL.com/flashplatform/) The goal is to establish and ‘open industry’ standard for media players. As someone who develops video websites for a variety of clients, I’m really excited that Adobe is moving this direction.

Adobe: Web Video on Television
This year at NAB (the annual National Association of Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas) Adobe???s chief executive, Shantanu Narayen announced plans to extend Flash to the television screen. TVs and set-top boxes that support the Flash format may be available as early as later this year.
For Hollywood studios and other content creators, a single format for Web video is even more enticing. It means they can create their entertainment once in Flash ??? as the animated documentary ???Waltz With Bashir,??? from Sony Pictures Classics, was made ??? and distribute it cheaply throughout the expanding ecosystem of digital devices. Web, mobile – and soon, television.
???Coming generations of consumers clearly expect to get their content wherever they want on it, on any device, when they want it,??? said Bud Albers, the chief technology officer of the Disney Interactive Media Group, who joined Adobe executives at NAB to voice Disney???s support for the Flash format. ???This gets us where we want to go.???
Personally, I think this is fantastic. Flash and TV are the perfect match. Now, all we’ll have to wait for is Flash on the iPhone. Come on Apple – get with the program!
