Apple has a thousand engineers improved mobile processors

One of the most important questions that every fan of the apple has right now is, what will happen with Apple now that Steve Jobs is no longer? Nehuen came hours makes a reassuring, no problem because Steve Jobs has left the next four years raised Apple continue to deliver innovative ideas to the technological world. However, the question remains in the air and then? TechCrunch gives details about ensuring that the Cupertino company currently has more than a thousand engineers working in the mobile chips that will use the iDispositivos in the future.

This data has transcended through an anonymous Silicon Valley CEO who had the opportunity to talk with Jobs shortly after he left office in Apple namesake few months ago. Now put that number in context to realize the amazing activity we are talking about. The Californian company has 50,000 employees, of which 30,000 are in the stores and other officials working in offices, departments, non-commercial and development centers. Thus, the number of thousand engineers accounts for 5% of employees not engaged in commercial establishments.

This consideration highlights the importance that Apple granted to processors that will define the future post-PC era started by the iPhone and especially for the iPad. Take note that this field has not reached the end of its travel. The new formats allow mobile processors in each update are reduced response times and fuel consumption of the core while increasing power. And we talk about the most important part of a mobile device, and perhaps the part to which place more importance on Infinite Loop. A couple of facts corroborate this assertion: the purchase of PA Semi and long Intrinsity last year.

In short, in Cupertino are focusing their efforts to evolve the existing range of mobile processors so they do not qualify or the ways and possibilities of the next device that will emerge from the dream factory in which the company has become the apple . Therefore, MG Siegler , editor of TechCrunch, has heard that upcoming products will be even more striking than the present, see if this is true.

Adobe Flash leaves the development of mobile

One could be important news today and is one that directly affects IOS and Apple’s mobile products. For years we hear words against the iPhone and iPad by the inability of these to play Flash content, Adobe used this utility on many websites to submit videos or games. Apple in this regard seems to have been clear since I started in the mobile sector, and specifically that position was due to the clear conviction of Steve Jobs. Well, it seems Adobe would announce in a few hours leaving the development of Flash for mobile browsers HTML5 focusing its efforts on precisely the same way for years started in Cupertino.

If you are blog readers for some time, remember that was the same Steve Jobs who said the reasons why the apple company had decided not to support Flash in IOS, his words are immortalized in a page from Apple’s website :

The iPhone and iPad are two devices that allow the use of all open standards (HTML5, CSS and JavaScript) and Flash CS5 is not.

Many major media have decided to jump in and adapt to the formats required by Apple.

Flash security is not good and is one of the reasons why problems occur on a computer using a browser.

Flash duration and limited battery life.

It was created to be used on computers operated by a mouse rather than by multitouch technology.

Is an obstacle to the development of own ecosystem of applications, as the inclusion of Adobe Flash have allowed the creation of an external platform applications (the ultimate goal of course) that Apple had not relied on.

The point is that little by little these motivations just by convincing an entire industry that has seen much of their potential customers could view their products if used exclusively Flash. HTML5 is presumed to be the most suitable alternative and are mucos developers are focusing on this solution, including Adobe, this will be one of its strengths in the future, HTML5 boost in mobile environments. Does this mean that Flash will disappear completely? As a plugin for the browser itself, the report would stop developing Adobe Flash to Android and QNX (operating system BlackBerry tablet, PlayBook), but keep the above mentioned software package for creating applications that are then exported to any operating system using Adobe Air. The announcement would be submitted shortly following, as ZDnet:

Our future work with Flash on mobile devices will focus on providing Flash developers a set of native applications with Adobe AIR applications for major stores. We’re not going to adapt Flash Player for mobile devices with new browsers, operating system versions or configurations of the device. Some of our source code licensees may choose to continue working on their own implementations. We will continue providing support to the current configuration for Android and PlayBook with error correction and critical security updates.

Too bad the good of Steve Jobs is no longer with us but I am convinced that today could not contain a huge grin.
