Check this little beauty out: one of Intel’s newest processors, the CE 3100, which is designed for web enabled tv’s, set-top boxes, and Blu-ray players, will have built in support for Adobe Flash. This means that users of CE 3100-based HDTV’s will be able to stream Flash from YouTube or anywhere else directly on their TV. Now, although I have no imediate plans to take advantage of such technology, I still believe it is a a great stepping stone for Adobe to ensure Flash as it’s own “standard.” Something that can be expected to be supported in every computer, tv, pda, iPhone, etc. Nice one Adobe. Apple, pay attention: the internet without Flash, is still a watered down version of the internet.
