Adobe on Monday announced it has joined the LiMo foundation, an industry consortium “dedicated to creating the first truly open, hardware-independent” Linux OS for mobile devices.
The move will have Adobe bringing its Flash platform to the LiMo platform, enabling developers and content providers to create apps that can run on LiMo devices.
“Bringing the Flash platform to LiMo opens up a significant opportunity for Adobe to further its goals of open standards and multi-screen interoperability of rich mobile content,” said David Wadhwani, general manger and vice president, Flash Platform Business at Adobe. “Following the goals of the Open Screen Project, the openness of Linux and the Flash platform represent a common vision to enable consumers to engage with rich Internet experiences seamlessly across any device, anywhere.”
In addition to Adobe, the LiMo foundation said it also added ELSE Ltd. MobiTV, and SRS Labs to its ranks.
