ONT nice post from YZ:
The Java Platform and Adobes Open Screen is why Hantro's investors have not and will not be selling their shares anytime soon and why the short attack has not even made a dent in the institutional ownership of this company!
A liklihood of a buyout of On2 by a MAJOR chip company just went up BIG TIME! On2 is clearly the goto company when it comes to bringing rich video experiences anywhere.
Adobe introduced its new Open Screen Project on Thursday in a move to help content creators offer a consistent Internet experience across different devices. As part of its unifying plan, Adobe also removed restrictions of the use of the SWF and FLV/F4V specifications.
Adobe is also publishing the device porting layer APIs for Adobe Flash Player, the Adobe Flash Cast protocol, the AMF protocol, and removing licensing fees so that the next major releases of Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR for devices will be free.
Several big name players have already signed on to support the Open Screen Project including supported by a group of industry leaders, including ARM, Chunghwa Telecom, Cisco, Intel, LG Electronics Inc., Marvell, Motorola, Nokia, NTT DoCoMo, Qualcomm, Samsung Electronics Co., Sony Ericsson, Toshiba and Verizon Wireless. Several content providers including BBC, MTV Networks, and NBC Universal have thrown their support behind the project, too.
Adobe is spearheading the Open Screen Project with support from industry leaders who share a common vision to provide rich, interactive experiences across computers, devices and consumer electronics."
The Java platform is the global standard that powers billions of devices – from desktop browsers and computers (91 percent) to mobile phones (more than two billion) and Blu-ray Disc players (13 million), TVs (nine million) and other connected consumer products. Through continual innovation, On2 satisfies the toughest quality, bandwidth, and power requirements for video. The company's TrueMotion video codecs the video market, with more than two billion deployments on desktops worldwide and more than 200+ million in mobile. The combination of On2 TrueMotion video with the Java platform and JavaFX rich client technology brings a whole new dimension to the immense breadth of high fidelity media applications and devices
