Adobe Flash Player 10 Now Available
“Our clients expect innovation,” said Tim Barber, partner and creative director for Odopod, a leading design studio
and member of the Society of Digital Agencies (SoDA). “With the improved visual performance and awesome new 3D
effects in Adobe Flash Player 10, we can now use Adobe Flash CS4 Professional to create cool Web experiences that
were previously impossible. For us, this means fewer boundaries to the creative process.”
Adobe Flash Player delivers unparalleled creative options, highly engaging user experiences, stunning audio/video
playback, and virtually universal reach across operating systems. Flash Player content reaches over 98 percent of
Internet-enabled desktops. More than 80 percent of online videos worldwide are viewed using Adobe Flash
technology, making it the number one format for video on the Web. Adoption of a previous update to Flash Player 9
set all-time records by achieving nearly 90 percent reach on Internet-enabled desktops in less than nine months and
Flash Player 10 is expected to achieve a similar adoption rate.
Innovations introduced in Adobe Flash Player 10 will contribute to future Open Screen Project efforts, such as work
that will bring Flash Player 10 to mobile devices. The Open Screen Project is an industry-wide initiative to deliver rich
multi-screen experiences built on a consistent runtime environment for open Web browsing and standalone
applications across personal computers, mobile devices, and consumer electronics. More information about the Open
Screen Project is available at
