Adobe previewed some new streaming video capabilities of its Flash Media Server at the 2011 National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) trade show, including new compatibility with iOS devices like the iPad. Instead of getting Steve Jobs to relent on his "thoughts on Flash," however, Adobe is instead adding HTTP Live Streaming support to Flash Media Server.
HTTP Live Streaming is a protocol that Apple developed to stream live and recorded video using standard HTTP connections instead of the more difficult to optimize RTSP. It uses H.264-encoded video and AAC or MP3 audio packaged into discrete chunks of an MPEG-2 transport stream, along with a .m3u playlist to catalog the files that make up the individual chunks of the stream. QuckTime on both Mac OS X and iOS can play back this format, and it is the only streaming format compatible with the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Flurry, a mobile analytics service, combined its mobile application data with published data from the NPD group and others, to show that Android and iOS captured a growing portion of the video game market share in 2010. According to the firm's analysis, iOS and Android game sales increased from 5% in 2009 to 8% in 2010 and revenue increased from US$500 million to $800 million in that same yearly period. Flurry claims that mobile game revenue in 2010 surpassed the estimated $700 million earned from PC game sales.
Looking closer at the figures, iOS and Android game sales took a chunk out of portable game sales. When compared to the Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable, Android and iOS market share almost doubled from 19% in 2009 to 34% in 2010. At the same time, Nintendo DS market share fell a whopping 13 percentage points from 70% down to 57%.
Before you begin to declare the death of portable gaming, remember this is one metric and one company's analysis. We need to wait a bit longer to see how these figures fluctuate in the upcoming years before we shelves our Nintendo 3DS as a collector's item.
