San Jose, Ca. – New from Adobe Systems is its just released Flash Player 10.1, redesigned from the ground up with new mobile-specific features, including support for multi-touch, gestures, and mobile input models and for accelerometers, which lets users view Flash content in landscape and portrait mode.

Other features include the ability for users to scale content to full screen mode delivering immersive application-like experiences from a web page as well as smart rendering to make usre that Flash content is running only when it becomes visible on the screen further reducing CPU and battery consumption. With Sleep Mode, Flash Player automatically slows down when the device transitions into screen saver mode.

Advanced Out-of-Memory Management allows the player to effectively handle non-optimized content that consumes excessive resources, while automatic memory reduction decreases content usage of RAM by up to 50 percent.

Flash Player pauses automatically when events occur such as incoming phone calls or switching from the browser to other device functions. Once users switch back to the browser, Flash Player resumes where it paused.

Operating system support includes: Android OS. Symbian OS. Windows Phone 7 Series. webOS. BlackBerry. MeeGo. LiMo.

Device manufacturers which have announced support for Flash Player 10.1 include ARM, Motorola, Dell, RIM, Samsung, Google, HTC, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Intel, Microsoft, Texas Instruments, and Brightcove, among others. Upgrade mechanisms will vary by device and device manufacturer.
