There's something happening here.

There's something happening here. And for the multiple screens in your life, the answer is perfectly clear.

Adobe's President and CEO, Shantanu Narayen, is one of the keynoters at CTIA today. It's a cool discussion on the impact that that the new world order of that ties three things together: Network (and subscriber) Growth, Rapid Innovation, and the Evolution of Expectations by the consumer.  As part of it, Shantanu talks about the continuing work of the Open Screen Project.

When we announced the Open Screen Project, Adobe committed to making certain specifications available. "Published" as they usually get called. We kicked that off with SWF and FLV/F4V.  We had already released others, like AMF.

Today, Adobe is publishing the next of the specs, the Mobile Content Delivery Protocol (Formerly Flash® Cast™ protocol). This communication protocol describes a mechanism for data to be synchronized between mobile phones and a network-based server in an efficient, mobile network–friendly manner. And manners are always a good thing.

As the Open Screen Project continues to evolve, with companies recognizing and supporting the vision of "device to desktop", the three facets of Shantanu's talk come closer to reality for us all.
