Adobe Flash Player 11 Brings 3D Graphics Into the Mix

Also new to the player are 3D hardware acceleration and faster performance.

Adobe's Flash Player gets a lot of hate from folks, but Flash Player 11 looks like it might be changing some minds. The newest version of Flash - ready to launch next month - brings a whole new level of quality.

Adobe boast "console quality" games on the new platform. Based on the videos, they may be misleading a bit, but most of the titles look at least the quality of the original Xbox, some veering into XBLA and PSN territory. Still very impressive for Flash.

Also new to Flash is the ability to display full frame HD video with 7.1 channel surround sound. Not too shabby, especially paired with support for rentals and subscription based viewing.

Adobe Adds Utility and Security to Flash Video Streaming

A new partnership with thePlatform allows for simpler delivery of streaming content.

Adobe is a big name in the streaming world. The top 10 video streaming sites in the world - including YouTube, Hulu, and NBC Universal - all use Flash, created by Adobe for the purpose.

Thanks to a new partnership with a Seattle-based company called thePlatform, Flash is getting some added features. Adobe's going to be using the company's video management software to allow for easier streaming to multiple platforms.

The new implementation will also help companies keep their content secure, and to better monetize their videos.

John Vartanian, the Chief Technology Officer over at iN Demand, is excited for the addition. "The alliance of thePlatform and Adobe will result in a significant upgrade of the video management and distribution capabilities for our online video product."
