Adobe have developed a version of Flash for the TV platform [VentureBeat].
Whilst this news is brilliant as it will hopefully mean the development of beautiful UI’s and EPGs on HDTVs, unfortunately it also heralds a format war from the inevitable competition.
Already Yahoo have their widgets on Samsung TVs, with Sony and LG coming next. [ConnectedTV]
And Microsoft are no doubt wanting Silverlight on our TVs as well.
Adobe need to sign up Panasonic, and possibly shoe-horn Sony out of the Yahoo deal.
Key company to watch – Panasonic. Whatever they sign up with will become the standard.
