Adobe announced Flash Player 10.1 will also have hardware acceleration support for smartbooks and smartphones devices based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset:
The first consumer devices ready to support Flash Player 10.1 will be smartbooks and smartphones from companies such as Toshiba and will be based on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon™ chipset. Qualcomm will introduce broader support within its product portfolio for Flash Player 10.1 when the beta version of the player becomes available before the end of the year.
Adobe Flash Player 10.1 is the first browser-based runtime to come out of the Open Screen Project and provides a consistent runtime that delivers uncompromised Web browsing of expressive applications, content and HD video. Unveiled at Adobe MAX today, Flash Player 10.1 leverages the power of the GPU on supported devices — such as Snapdragon with its integrated high-performance graphics core — for accelerated video and graphics while conserving battery life and resource utilization.
