Steve Jobs can’t kill Flash . . .

. . . but Adobe just might, but hold on I will get back to this.

Interesting bit of news when TomTom announced a couple of weeks ago, that they will be launching a Webkit based app store by the end of the year. (Link: http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/32801/tomtom-looks-to-app-store) So add Tomtom to the impressive list of companies adopting Webkit as their embedded browser strategy. Companies such as:
  • Apple (Safari)
  • Blackberry
  • Google (Chrome)
  • Palm / HP (WebOS)
  • QNX
  • Etc.
More important than just a common embedded web browser is the fact that many companies are positioning the browser as an application deployment scheme. Look again at the TomTom announcement. It isn’t that they are launching a web browser and connectivity into a device, but rather that they are launching an application platform based on HTML that could deploy new applications or widgets post purchase. If you look at Chrome and WebOS both of these implementations of Webkit are also effectively application platforms.

Now back to Flash. Despite his recent denials (http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/), most people believe that Steve Jobs doesn’t want Flash on iPhones and iPads because it opens up a new application and content channel that can bypass iTunes / App Store and the accompanying business model. So, unless the government or consumer pressure compels Steve Jobs / Apple to include Flash, new reasons will materialize why Flash can’t technically work and it will stay off Apple devices. That alone won’t, in my opinion, kill Flash. What really makes it have wide adoption are those darn Mac loving web, content and UI designers that use Adobe tools. Flash is an easy development environment for rich experiences. . .

In my opinion what will ultimately kill Flash is Adobe developing a similar robust development environment for rich HTML experiences. Last year Adobe CEO Narayen said, "[T]he fragmentation of browsers makes Flash even more important rather than less important." With all the adoption of Webkit / HTML 5 for devices, perhaps it explains Adobe CTO, Kevin Lynch’s recent stand at the Web 2.0 Expo:

"We're going to try and make the best tools in the world for HTML5,” Adobe has a history of HTML tool development with products like Dreamweaver, he said, and called HTML5 "a terrific step forward" for the Web.

And since this is an automotive blog, what will automotive like about HTML 5? Here are just two of the many capabilities in HTML 5 catching interest in automotive:
P.S. with all of the attention on Apple regarding Flash. . . I wonder what Steve Jobs thinks of Silverlight?  Seems like Microsoft will have a serious battle getting any further adoption in Automotive since they are pushing Silverlight as their HMI of choice for the next version of Microsoft Auto (AKA Motegi)

Hotel 626


Bingung nih mau posting apaanbingung,trus keinget ama hotel 626 ini deh yg siposting daripada gk ada yg diposting.Pernah mendengar nama game browser hotel 626.Atau bahkan pernah memainkannya,ya hotel 626 adalah game browser yang bergenre horor,gimana cara buatnya kreatif amat idenya.Entahlah kenapa dinamakan hotel 626,apakah memang ada kisah mengenai nomor 626?.Situs ini saya ketahui saat browsing di sebuah forum.Setelah membaca postingannya saya tertarik untuk mencoba memainkannya iseng-iseng saya langsung menuju ke alamatnya

Pertama kali saya dihadapkan dengan nuansa warna hitam yang membuat suasana disekitar agak mencekam, kemudian saya check in dihotel tersebut dan mengisi data-data di form pendaftaran.Ingat pastikan saat mendaftar usia harus berada diatas 17 tahun,saya sudah mencobanya dan gagal mendaftar,sehingga mendaftar dengan usia diatas 17 tahun(maklum masih sma coy)
hammer.
Langsung deh saya main, oh iya agak ngerti bahasa inggris juga dibutuhkan disini,karena ada beberapa misi yang harus diselesaikan dengan mendengar perintah dari seseorang.Game ini kayaknya berceritakan seseorang yang terjebak di hotel berhantu dan harus berhasil keluar dari hotel tersebut,yang menjadi tokoh utamaya ya kalian itu :D.Ada misi yang agak bikin saya sport jantung,yaitu pada saat disuruh menidurkan bayi a.k.a setan dan berjalan keluar secara perlahan-lahan,hati-hati kalo gagal cuy bayinya tiba-tiba berada di depan muka kita.Oh ya game ini juga bisa memakai webcam dari pc kita dan bisa digunakan pada saat misi memfoto arwah hiiiii.
Saya belum selesai memainkannya gagal terus,jadi saya skip aja deh misinya,, hehehehe
Silahkan dicoba deh friend,, sapa tau terhibur
O h ya hampir lupa,, game ini hanya bisa dimainkan pada jam 6 P.M-6 A.M. Ini mungkin sengaja biar tambah serem aja kali suasananya,kalo takut bisa diganti jam di pcnya jadi bisa dimainin siang2 hehehehe..
