In an age when users want a complete mobile web experience, Adobe has taken an important step in bringing the PC experience on mobile devices: Adobe released the Flash Player 10.1 application, in a partnership with Nvidia, to accelerate their new product on the visual processing unit.
NVIDIA Tegra offers significant improvements in accelerating Flash animations and video performances, but in the same time extending the autonomy of mobile devices. Users now have the chance of accessing more Flash content, for a longer period of time, on their mobile phones, including games, animations, Rich Internet Applications, ecommerce, music, video and others.

Now the two companeis are involved in bringing these performance benefits and power to a new generation of smartphones and tablets with the Tegra technology” said Neil Trevett, VP of mobile Content at NVIDIA.
The application also includes accelerometer support, Smart Zooming and a series of features to make the CPU more efficient and increase the performance of the battery. One of these is Smart Rendering, which allows the running of Flash Content only after it was downloaded and visible on the screen. Sleep mode allows the player to slow down when the device enters in screen saver mode, and also the automatic shutdown of the player when receiving a phone call.
