Adobe is participating very actively in the development of plugins for their platforms on mobile devices, and Android are a good opportunity, after Apple to let them out of the game with the restrictions on the iPhone / IPAD. That's why developing for Android is something that is being taken seriously, including many testers.

For now know there is a beta version of Flash Player 10.1 and Adobe AIR 2.0, both for operating system hosted by Google, however, the builds of these betas are closed and only a few developers can access for now. However, it is expected to soon be available on a public beta, although there is no estimated date for this to happen.

While it is possible suscribise to a list to receive information about the launch of these products in Android.

It is curious that now Adobe is worried about the optimization of Web content on mobile phones, because after the criticism of Apple on the performance of Flash, it seems that they are finally ready to improve on that.

Microsoft and Adobe have decided to work together to distribute security updates for their products. Although as yet few details are known, everything suggests that the objective is that through Windows Update so users can download security updates for Adobe products.

This partnership comes on account of delicate moment in which Adobe is in regard to safety. Reader is currently one of the most attacked, and obviously this is not only concerned about Adobe, but Microsoft, as its operating system is also affected.

Could you open Windows Update Microsoft products that are not theirs? So far the company has only confirmed it is collaborating with Adobe to make its updates can be distributed through tools like System Center Configuration Manager or System Center Essentials.

Microsoft also said that for now there is no consolidated and still has many things to analyze. Let's wait to see how it ends.

As promised, Adobe, yesterday released the long-awaited security update to its popular applications like Adobe Acrobat and Reader 9.3.1. Meanwhile, users who are still using version 8, will update the version 8.2.1 to fix security problems. One sees vulnerabilities, allowing a PDF file with malicious code would allow a hacker to take complete control of your computer.

With respect to Flash Player, the update was released last week, but if you have not done the upgrade, now is good time to do it, the latest version is 10.0.45.2. The problem for those who use Mac OS X, is that the Flash player does not always respect the setting that causes the system to remind us of updates, so Adobe recommends that you do soon.

To get an idea of the danger we run Mac users not to upgrade to Adobe software, a recently performed study shows that the percentage of security breaches resulting PDF documents increased from 56% in the first months of 2009, to 80% during the last 3 months last year. So we might as well keep applications from Adobe and our whole system in general, updated to the latest versions of the updates.

Adobe Systems announced during the Mobile World Congress 2010, which with the addition of new products, aims to position itself in the market of smartphones, leading the development of Flash applications to a new level, where developers do not have to specialize in language specifically as they consider developing for mobile platforms.

The AIR platform is about to be taken to the Android OS, a mobile operating system that is gaining a lot of users quickly. With this move Adobe plans to enter the list of major in the field of smartphones, which is dominated by Apple, which has a monstrous market share thanks to the iPhone.

Being a single platform Adobe AIR, you can write applications that run in different environments with the same source code, so you can save many lines of code and above all, time. That is, similar to what happens with Java (using a virtual machine to run applications) with the same code, developers can distribute their applications to run on Windows, Mac, Linux and now platafomas laptops.

This is an important announcement as to unleash the full potential of this idea, many developers probably feel restless and launched many programs such as games, productivity tools, entertainment, etc.. So perhaps in the near future, thanks to the penetration of the Android OS, Adobe made a little shade to Apple and the iTunes Store.
