Adobe plans to roll out Flash Player 11 and AIR 3 in October, according to a new blog post from Adobe’s Flash product manager Tom Nguyen.
Integral to the new Flash release is “Stage 3D,” a new hardware-accelerated 3D graphics architecture that delivers radically improved 3D graphics performance compared with Flash 10 – on the order of 1000 times improved, according to Nguyen.
“Additionally, these releases deliver new features to support theater-quality HD video, native 64-bit optimizations, high-quality HD video conferencing, and a powerful, flexible architecture for leveraging native device and platform capabilities,” said Nguyen.
Stage 3D Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) enable developers to use the graphics processors on a wide variety of computers, with features including dynamic audio, low-latency multiplayer networking, 1080P video playback, voice chat and other capabilities.
Nguyen says to expect the first crop of Flash 11-optimized games to arrive later this year and early in 2012.

Sort of demonstrates how lackadaisical Adobe’s been about this stuff to date, doesn’t it?
An undocumented free feature within Flash 11 is the soul-sucking sound of your computer’s fan spinning itself to an untimely death.
Ah, so the NEXT version of Flash will be the good one. Got it.
“Stage 3D: It really won’t suck this time. We Promise.™”
Flash on my television? Not bloody likely.
what the hell is Flash?
RIM, meet Adobe’s Flash team.

Oh, how wrong they are. HTML5 will win.
♫ Don’t talk, just ship… ♫
OR
♫ FLASH! AH-ah! Saviour of the universe! ♫
Does it come with a fan kit, or do you have to purchase one separately?
Don’t sing it, bring it?
Kinda like that 🙂
Awesome 😀
