Adobe and NVIDIA Deliver Rich Web Experiences on Netbooks and Mobile Devices

GPU-Accelerated Netbooks from HP, Lenovo and Samsung Support Full Flash Player
LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
At Adobe MAX, Adobe`s worldwide developer conference, Adobe Systems Incorporated
(Nasdaq:ADBE) and NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq:NVDA) today announced that both
companies are bringing uncompromised browsing of rich Web content to netbooks,
smartphones and smartbooks built with NVIDIA GPUs. The companies have been
working closely together as part of the Open Screen Project to optimize and
dramatically improve performance of Flash Player 10.1 by taking advantage of GPU
video and graphics acceleration on a wide range of mobile Internet devices.
NVIDIA customers embracing Flash Player 10.1 for their new devices include HP,
Lenovo, Samsung, Acer, Asus and more. Users are expected to be able to download
a beta of Flash Player 10.1 before the end of the year.

The combination of NVIDIA GPUs and Adobe Flash Player 10.1 enables device
manufacturers to deliver uncompromised Web browsing of rich applications,
interactive content and HD video with substantially decreased power consumption.
With the support of the NVIDIA GeForce, NVIDIA ION and Tegra products users will
be able to enjoy a much smoother viewing experience when accessing rich content
built with the Flash Platform including HD and SD video from popular sites like
Hulu.com or YouTube. For more information on Flash Player 10.1, please see the
separate press release issued today.

"Consumers want the best Internet experience - whether it`s a mobile device in
their pocket or a netbook at the coffee shop," said Dan Vivoli, senior vice
president of NVIDIA. "Our engineers have worked closely with Adobe to make this
a reality."

"The most innovative and expressive Web sites use Adobe Flash technology," said
David Wadhwani, general manager and vice president, Platform Business Unit at
Adobe. "By working together to further leverage the power of graphics
processors, Adobe and NVIDIA are able to provide breakthrough Web experiences on
a wide range of devices. This new development brings us a step closer to putting
the power of a PC in your pocket."

NVIDIA ION-based netbooks and nettops like the HP Mini 311, Lenovo IdeaPad S12,
Samsung N510, Acer AspireRevo, and Asus eeeBox EB1012 and others are shipping
today and once Flash Player 10.1 is available, they can take advantage of
GPU-accelerated video decoding to deliver the kind of smooth Flash technology
based video previously found only on higher-end PCs. Tegra processor-based
smartphones and smartbooks that start shipping later this year will accelerate
vector graphics and video to enable feature-rich, full-screen Internet video and
animation.

"HP is pleased to work with NVIDIA and Adobe to give customers a compelling high
definition video experience," said Kevin Frost, vice president and general
manager, Consumer Notebooks, Personal Systems Group, HP. "The recently
introduced HP Mini 311 supports stunning HD video using Flash Player 10.1."

"As the biggest online video Web site in China, Youku.com believes in providing
superior user experiences because fast video play-back is essential," said Allen
Zhu, vice president of Youku.com. "Now, with the new Adobe Flash Player 10.1,
video decoding for the first time is enabled through NVIDIA GPUs, we can greatly
enhance the speed of video playback for the great quantity of HD videos hosted
on our Web site. This would enable our users to enjoy a smooth and stutter-free
HD video playback experience."

"The new version of Flash Player 10.1 will help deliver smooth, full-screen HD
and SD video on the Lenovo IdeaCentre Q110 nettop and IdeaPad S12 netbook with
NVIDIA ION graphics," said Stephen DiFranco, vice president, North America
Channel Partners Organization, Lenovo. "As more and more consumers connect
online for their entertainment, GPU acceleration with NVIDIA will enhance this
experience, whether it`s on the go with a Lenovo netbook or at home with a tiny
desktop PC."
