From the [www.technewsworld.com] they got some interesting debate among Flash ( FlashLite ) and Silverlight evangelist whether they should start considering to embrace the new platform Silverlight. Not everyone is equally excited, though. Devoted Adobe users like Noel Green, creative director of Park East, is one of many with no plans to leave Flash behind.
“Flash just works,” Green added, citing its ability to function flawlessly on any computer and deliver a consistent display across various browser platforms.

Interactive Supremacy between Flash and Silverlight
Following the announcement from Adobe of the open screen project, news comes from the Embedded Systems Expo that NEC is showing what sounds like it might be an alternative to Adobe’s Flash Lite Player.
Its a little hard to make complete sense of the post from EETimes.com. But some interesting quotes from the short, slightly cryptic article:
By using our new IP, one can design a portable device capable of processing Adobe Flash Lite several times faster, when compared with using a processor.
Also in the announcement is a hint of better video quality as well.
After reducing the number of gates required for an IC and further tuning the video quality output by Adobe Flash Lite, NEC will start offering its IP in August this year.
One thing that does seem to be missing is an explanation of which Flash Lite version they are supporting, although the mention of video implies this is based around the FlashLite 3 player.
You can read the full (breif) announcement of NEC’s new Flash Lite IP over at EETimes.com.
One further interesting thing is that I could find no mention of NEC being involved with the Open Screen Project from its press release.

Based on the earliest concept, Adobe was making many restriction on the use of its Flash technology in mobile devices. The limitation made the developers harder to produce more interactive and unique content for the mobile devices, so that this will differentiate between mobile internet and computer-based web.
