Here is a video that discusses the benefits of Open Screen Project and how it affects Flash Developers
Today Adobe has lifted the licensing restriction on both SWF and FLV/F4V formats.
What is the Adobe Open Screen Project?
The Open Screen Project is dedicated to driving consistent rich Internet experiences across televisions, personal computers, mobile devices, and consumer electronics. The Open Screen Project aims to maintain compatibility across devices, supporting rapid innovation and enabling devices to be seamlessly updated with the latest runtimes. Along with the cross-screen authoring workflow capabilities of Adobe creative and developer tools and frameworks, a consistent runtime environment will reduce time to market for RIAs, rich media content, and video and enable developers to more easily deploy content across screens.
This is great news and is huge for all multimedia devices to come as the Flash platform can offer consistency and functionality from device to device. Basically, this means that the level of the capability of the technology in devices will be equivalent to that of the PC.
