Adobe, Intel to bring Flash to TV

Intel Corp. and Adobe Systems Inc. said on Monday that Intel's CE 3100 system-on-a-chip for TV set-top boxes will be optimized to run Flash software. [via Business Weekly]

The first devices will offer San Jose-based Adobe's Flash Lite that is used most for cell phones and are expected to be available by midyear. Versions that can run the full desktop-level version of Flash are expected later.

The development by Santa Clara-based Intel and Adobe is expected to bring the Flash animation and interface software to networked media hubs, Blu-ray players and TVs. Many online TV providers now use the software to stream ad-supported video on the Internet.
