iPlayer is the best use of Flash video imho, they replicate double-click fullscreen and other features of desktop software — that's why I pay the license fee without actually having a TV —supporting the best broadcasting network in the world.

On a more relevant note, does this mean we can play JohnnyTwoShoes in HD?]]>Jan 5th 2009 6:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/

i must of missed out on that vote, cuz uh, I dont. i might of came across it a few times but most of the times i forget about it]]>Jan 5th 2009 5:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/Jan 5th 2009 5:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/
Intel has been struggling with making inroads into the tv/stb market - for a few reasons and one of the more important ones is the lack of a software power house (think ms - or even Linux, apple) and box-makers (think HP/Dell). Making a chip for a tv/stb - with a software vendor having ported one single software component onto the chip.. is one thing. Making / integrating *ALL* the software for these boxes is quite another. And doing all this while the external environment (broadcasters, MSO, telcos etc) is in seemingly constant transition, and not having a carrier brand is altogether a different ball game. (note that intel is not a CE brand)

So, in conclusion : Canmore can run Flash and Flashlite and OpenScreen and widgets of all kinds and makes. No doubt. But, so what ? Can it decode broadcast HDTV and display obligatory captions? Can it keep pace with the panel technologies or decode myriad DRM schemes? Can it reduce the blur of fast moving images and win the confidence of the major CE brands?

So, "can more" ? For sure, yes. The potential is there. But what it "can" do *now* is far from impressive.

And for what it's worth, you are correct, wholly-Microsoft software rarely crashes these days. Almost all software crashes affecting MS software is due to bad 3rd party plug-ins. That applies to the OS (bad non-ms certified drivers), Office (bad Outlook plug-ins, etc), and IE (buggy Flash usually). Heck, even the Zune bug a few days ago was due to, you guessed it, a buggy driver.]]>Jan 5th 2009 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/Jan 5th 2009 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/Jan 5th 2009 8:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/Jan 5th 2009 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/Jan 5th 2009 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/Jan 5th 2009 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/Jan 5th 2009 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/Jan 5th 2009 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/Jan 5th 2009 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/Jan 5th 2009 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/
Are you aware that using iPlayer only and not having a TV means you do not pay a license fee? The fee is only required to playback or record live programming. iPlayer is FOC :-)

FYI The BBC is going to launch a Live service in the future and when they do, the license fee will be payable again.. Hope this helps save you some money whilst there is a credit crunch...]]>Jan 5th 2009 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/
You're an idiot if you think Flash is somehow an inferior technology to HTML/JavaScript-based widgets like Yahoo. I'm glad to see "thick client" platforms like Flash on devices. This will lead to richer web experiences than just a browser. I think it'd be great to see Silverlight on devices like this too.]]>Jan 5th 2009 1:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/intel-adobe-plan-a-chicken-in-every-pot-flash-on-every-hdtv/Jan 6th 2009 4:03PM
