Adobe and The Recording Academy Unleash AIR App to Make The Grammy Awards More Social

Originally created by The Recording Academy and its ad agency of record, TBWA\Chiat\Day, and now available in the Intel AppUp center, the MusicMapper is an Adobe AIR application that allows users to tag songs and stories to physical locations. By displaying these tags on the Music Is Life Is Music microsite, people can experience each other’s musical journeys in a unique and intimate way while celebrating the songs that have had significance in one’s life and the places connected to those songs.

The app has great traction already and is helping build excitement leading up to this Sunday’s Grammy Awards show. And like all good social apps, its value extends past Sunday’s event, as music fans are encouraged to share stories and interact with each other on an ongoing basis.
 
For developers, MusicMapper is another example of how Adobe’s InMarket program enables apps to reach millions of users through a variety of app stores across devices. Using InMarket, developers have one centralized portal for publishing, managing and monetizing apps across multiple app stores.

Adobe and Intel today announced plans to enable developers to distribute and monetize Adobe AIR applications and games. Developers can use Adobe’s new distribution service, code-named Melrose, to place their apps on the Intel AppUp Center. AppUp currently targets netbooks and consumer laptops, with plans to extend AppUp support to additional devices.

Melrose can help developers:

  • Reach millions of consumers with free or paid apps on multiple stores
  • Make money through paid apps
  • Simplify the publishing process
  • Streamline application management

Here is a screen shot on how an AIR app is listed on the Intel AppUp Center using Melrose. To start using Melrose, visit Adobe Labs.

Posted on by

Flash Player 10.1 for Mobile is here! Fully redesigned with new performance and mobile-specific functionality, mobile users will now be able to experience the full web — games, animations, RIAs, data visualizations, music, video, audio and more.

Flash Player 10.1 beta is already one of the top free apps on Android Market today and will be available as a final production release for smartphones and tablets once users are able to upgrade to Android 2.2 “Froyo.” Supported devices are expected to include the Dell Streak, Google Nexus One, HTC Evo, HTC Desire, HTC Incredible, DROID by Motorola, Motorola Milestone, Samsung Galaxy S and others.

Flash Player 10.1 was also released to our mobile platform partners to be supported on devices based on Android, BlackBerry, webOS, future versions of Windows® Phone, LiMo, MeeGo and Symbian OS. We expect FP 10.1 will be an over-the-air download and even pre-installed on some smartphones, tablets and other devices in the coming months. Stay tuned to news from your device manufacturer.

There are loads of partners speaking in support of this news – many part of the Open Screen Project. Click the link to read quotes and musings from some of them, including ARM, Dell, Google, HTC, Microsoft, Motorola, Qualcomm, RIM, Samsung and others. Additionally, Intel, NVIDIA, and Texas Instruments posted to their blogs, and Brightcove issued a press release in support of the news.

What’s new in Flash Player 10.1? You can get all the details from the Flash Player team’s rundown of the work that went into the new runtime. And here are some of the top things to know:

  • It’s been completely redesigned and optimized for mobile, including new interaction methods that support mobile-specific input models, and support for accelerometer.
  • With Smart Zooming, users can scale content to full screen mode. Performance optimization work with virtually all major mobile silicon and platform vendors makes efficient use of CPU and battery performance.
  • New Smart Rendering ensures that Flash content is running only when it becomes visible on the screen further reducing CPU and battery consumption.
  • Sleep Mode makes Flash Player automatically slow down when the device transitions into screen saver mode.
  • Advanced Out-of-Memory Management allows the player to effectively handle non-optimized content that consumes excessive resources.
  • Automatic memory reduction decreases content usage of RAM by up to 50 percent.
  • Flash Player pauses automatically when events occur such as incoming phone calls or switching from the browser to other functions. Once users switch back to the browser, Flash Player resumes where it paused.
