BARCELONA—Adobe Flash 10 will be integrated into the Palm Pre's browser sometime in 2009, the company said Monday. Adobe also inaugurated a $10 million fund for Flash application development and showed a new Adobe Reader Mobile SDK which will bring advanced PDF functionality to both e-book readers and phones.

But as various partners and platforms jump onto the Flash and PDF bandwagons, some industry leaders are still being left out. Flash 10, which will support all desktop Flash sites and applications, will be available for Windows Mobile, Symbian Series 60, Android and Palm's new WebOS, Muraka said. But the popular RIM BlackBerry and Apple iPhone platforms stayed off the list, though Adobe chief executive Shantanu Narayen said two weeks ago that Adobe was "collaborating" with Apple.

Mobile TV is shaping up to be a big story at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, with three different systems slugging it out the way cable, satellite and broadcast TV all vie for couch-potatoes' viewing time.

First out of the gate is ICO mim, a satellite-based service initially for cars. Their G1 satellite launched in April, and they're running their first truly live demo at CES this year. The satellite covers the whole U.S., but mim will roll out city by city as ICO installs ground-based repeaters to make sure drivers get signal even where they can't see the sky, said Chris Doherty, a spokesperson for ICO Global Communications.

"Terrestrial repeaters in urban areas allow signals to get to places where satellite signals tend to be challenged," Doherty said. ICO is running trials in Las Vegas and in Raleigh, N.C., to figure out how to physically design a nationwide rollout, he said.
