At Adobe MAX, Adobe’s worldwide developer conference in Los Angeles, Adobe Systems and Research In Motion (RIM) announced they are working together to bring Adobe Flash Player support to the BlackBerry platform.

RIM, a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of innovative wireless solutions for the worldwide mobile communications market, is joining the Open Screen Project, a broad initiative dedicated to enabling standalone applications and richer web browsing across mobile phones, televisions, desktops and other consumer electronic devices through the Adobe Flash Platform.

“As part of the Open Screen Project, RIM will be working with Adobe to deliver a great Flash technology experience on BlackBerry smartphones and to enable users to enjoy the exciting content and services that Flash technology developers and content creators are bringing to the web,” said Alan Brenner, SVP at Research In Motion.

The collaboration is expected to bring the full Flash Player browser runtime to BlackBerry smartphones.
Led by Adobe, the Open Screen Project includes close to 50 industry leaders working together to provide a consistent runtime environment and user experience across mobile phones, desktops, and other consumer electronics devices.

The initiative addresses the challenges of web browsing on a broad range of devices, and removes the barriers to publishing content and applications seamlessly across screens.
