As part of their Open Screen Project, Adobe have rolled out the fresh new Flash Player 10.1 with a little twist: it’s multiplatform. Adobe claim that the new player will squeeze every bit of CPU and GPU power out of your handheld device running Android, Palm webOS, Windows Mobile, Symbian and Blackberry OS, along with running on computers sporting Linux, Mac OS and Windows. As part of the aforementioned Open Screen Project, the new player promises to allow the usage of Flash content directly from the OS’s file manager, web browser or streaming applications.

As far as interactivity goes, the browser-based runtime is going to allow viewing of just about any Flash content imaginable and support touch gestures (even going as far as multi-touch), accelerometer and stylus inputs. The new player will be available for Windows Mobile, Google Android, Palm webOS, Symbian and Blackberry OS, as well as for desktop Windows, Linux and Mac OS. No iPhone OS support, though. The beta is expected to arrive later this year.
