(Irvine, CA, USA and Taipei, Taiwan) January 3, 2012 – IAdea, the leading maker of media appliances and digital signboards for digital signage, introduces the industry’s first Web Appliances supporting SMIL and the HTML5 open standards. IAdea first introduced the SMIL platform to digital signage in 2009 and gathered support from leading software providers, effectively changing the landscape of the industry. By supporting HTML5 as a content type in SMIL, IAdea expects the new technology to fundamentally change the industry again in how future digital content will be made and deployed.
In a shocking official statement by its VP Danny Winokur, Adobe officially announces the death of Flash on mobile devices:
"We will no longer continue to develop Flash Player in the browser to work with new mobile device configurations"
Instead, Adobe will switch to HTML5 as the next-gen content platform:
What better promotes a great new product than crisp, vivid 1080p video? And what does a better job than the simple, plug-and-play IAdea HD Media Appliance?
Engadget runs an in-depth report on the high-profile in-store promotion of the Nook Tablet from Barnes and Noble, the latest e-reader device from the oldest and largest book retailer in the United States.
