Adobe loves mobile browsers AND applications

A conflict which had been simmering below the surface was sharply highlighted earlier this year. When Apple revealed that the iPad wasn’t going to support Flash, it threw theFlash vs. Web Standards debate into the public eye. Since then, Adobe has been quietly but busily working to improve the experience it provides for mobile. Some of the fruits of that labour are now apparent, with a major update recently to Scene7, Adobe’s media streaming platform, and today’s release of study results into what consumers really use mobile for. Probably the most interest claim is that apps are generally no more popular that mobile browsers, despite the stronger media attention.

What’s Scene7?

Scene7 was an independent company founded in 1999, and bought by Adobe in 2007. It focuses on a few functions, but this release is dedicated to one: streaming media to any platform. If you’re an Adobe client with a Scene7 account, you can upload every single piece of digital media you use (sound, video, text, images) to the Scene7 server. Once that media file is hosted, Scene7 will stream it live to any device or screen you want.
