Yesterday the 10th version of the Adobe Flash Player codenamed “Astro” became available on Adobe Labs. Looking back to the release of version 9, which was a development release introducing AVM2 and AS3 and version 8, which was a feature release providing pixel filters and so on now version 10 is well balanced between features and development.

You may have already heard it. Today Adobe announced the Open Screen Project which is working to remove the key barriers of using the SWF and FLV format. This potentially enables every screen to read and play these formats which means that Flash content can reach everyone everywhere every time !

Yesterday i saw a presentation of MS Silverlight held by Laurence Moroney at this years QCon. The main reason for watching this was that i still wanted to understand and see the advantages compared  with Adobe Flex.
