Adobe releases new Flash software for mobile phones
01/10/2007 by swordfish.
Adobe Systems Inc released new software for its popular Flash Player on Sunday that promises to bring the quality of live video on mobile phones closer to that of video on computers.
Adobe, whose software made possible the rapid rise of pioneering online video site YouTube, said Nokia and NTT DoCoMo Inc would use its new Flash Lite 3 in their new mobile phones.
Adobe said more than 300 million mobile devices equipped with previous versions of Flash had already been shipped and it expected more than a billion Flash-enabled devices to be available by 2010.
Adobe’s Flash software is installed on about 98 percent of all personal computers and is used by virtually all popular online video sites, mainly thanks to the fact it works independently of the device that the video is displayed upon.

Microsoft prepares to take Office online
01/10/2007 by swordfish.
In another clear sign that Microsoft sees the threat posed by its traditional business moving online, the company is readying a rival to Google’s Docs & Spreadsheets.
The software maker is announcing Office Live Workspace, a free online tool for viewing, sharing and storing — but not editing — Office documents online. (Microsoft’s existing Office Live efforts will be rebranded as Office Live Small Business.) It’s not quite ready — starting from Monday customers will be able to put in their name to be part of a beta testing program expected to begin later this year.
Still, the effort is a recognition that competition is heating up in the productivity arena, an area that large rivals had basically ceded to Microsoft a few years ago. In addition to Google’s effort, which, as of earlier this month, also includes presentation software, IBM has announced its free Lotus Symphony productivity software, which prompted 100,000 downloads in its first week of availability.
Adobe, meanwhile, on Monday is expected to announce it has acquired Virtual Ubiquity, a start-up that has built a web-based word processor, called “Buzzword”, using Adobe’s Flash and AIR technologies. Adobe is also introducing a service, code-named “Share”, that allows people to share and store documents via the web.
