Slides from MAX 2010 Flash Platform on TV Talk
I'm way late to this party, but better late than never. In October 2010, I gave a talk at Adobe's MAX conference introducing the Flash Platform for TV which is Flash Player for TV and AIR for TV. Here are my slides that give a good overview of the TV ecosystem as a whole and Adobe's products for the segment. I might extract some of this information in the future for a blog post, but the whole deck is here for your to download.
You can also see the recording of the session at the MAX 2010 archives. Unfortunately there were some recording issues with the audio so part of the audio drops out in the first part of the talk, but it's great since you get the visuals of the demos in the archive.

Announcing AIR 2.5 for TV
I'm sitting backstage at the Nokia Theater LA Live, working on final prep and rehearsals for our CTO's keynote. The doors are open and attendees are starting to come in. In the keynote, one of the many things we're announcing is Adobe AIR for TV. We're very excited that after a year+ of hard work, crazy travel, late nights, and many conference calls between San Jose, San Francisco, Seoul, Tokyo, and Bangalore that we're releasing the first AIR runtime to television sets and Bluray players
Our launch partner is Samsung, who will be embedding the AIR TV runtime on their SmartTV products. Very exciting opportunity for developers who want to get to new screens. There's already been a ton of overage, but if you're at MAX come to the keynote today to check out Kevin Lynch present some exciting demos that you won't want to miss.

Speaking at Adobe MAX 2010
I'm speaking again at Adobe MAX this year, as well as co-teaching a set of lab sessions.
Here's more info from what I just posted to the AIR Team Blog.
Adobe MAX is right around the corner and we’re super excited to start showing off the latest and greatest that AIR has to offer. There’s going to be a ton of exciting sessions covering desktop, mobile devices, and now the newest screen, TVs.
We’ve got two sessions specifically aimed at getting our customers excited about and educated in what AIR for TV is going to offer them. We also have a lab that will give you a chance to learn how to actually develop AIR for TV applications. Plus, as usual, we’ll have a couple of surprises up our sleeve that you won’t want to miss!
Our two sessions will help you learn two things: first, the ecosystem around TVs, Blu-ray Players, and set top boxes; and, second how to actually use the new AIR for TV platform to build and optimize applications that run on those devices. Expect these to be info-packed, fun, and engaging sessions to learn about a whole new screen to take your apps and content.

Slides from Flash Apps on iPhone Session at MAX
I've uploaded from the slides from my presentation at MAX, "Building Applications for iPhone using Flash Pro CS5". The slides and the talk cover some of the new capabilities we're bringing to Flash Pro CS5 to allow developers to create native iPhone applications using ActionScript 3.0.
The talk is archived in two places. First, if you want the full experience with slides, video, audio and queue points check out the MAX 2009 archive. The archive is fantastic. It's free, not geo-locked, and comprehensive. It's almost as good as being at MAX in person. Second, if you just want the slides and voice over you can see it at Adobe TV.

I'm doing two sessions, named "Building Mobile Applications with Flash Professional", Monday 2pm, room 402A and again Wednesday 11am, room 501A. Ted Patrick also noted which are some of the Must See sessions at MAX this year. See you in LA!
