Adobe's "Flash Lite" Coming to TV

Intel Corp. and Adobe Systems Inc. said on Monday that the semiconductor giant's CE 3100 system-on-a-chip for TV set-top boxes will be optimized to run Flash software.

The first devices will offer San Jose-based Adobe's (NASDAQ:ADBE) Flash Lite that is used most for cellphones and are expected to be available by midyear. Versions that can run the desktop-level full version of Flash are expected later.

The development by Santa Clara-based Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) and Adobe is expected to bring the Flash animation and interface software to networked media hubs, Blu-ray players and TVs. Many online TV providers now use the software to stream ad-supported video on the Internet.

The announcement comes as the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas gets underway this week.
