Google Swiffy Converts Flash Files to iPhone-Compatible HTML5

Google on Tuesday unveiled a new experimental tool for developers called Swiffy, which converts some .SWF Flash files into HTML5 code compatible with devices like the iPhone and iPad.

Swiffy is available at Google Labs, where the search giant's engineers create experimental applications that may not be ready for primetime or intended for the masses. Using the Swiffy website, anyone can upload an SWF file and convert it to HTML5.

Swiffy supports most of the Flash 5 ActionScript specification. The output file works in all browsers based on Apple's open-source Webkit engine, which powers the Mobile Safari browser found on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch（ipad 2 video converter）.

Also available on the site are a gallery of videos and games that have been converted to HTML5 from Flash, as well as a list of frequently asked questions. Among those questions is a query about what Adobe, the creator of Flash, thinks of Swiffy.

"Adobe is pleased to see the Flash platform extended to devices which don't support the Flash player," the site reads. "The result is that anyone creating rich or interactive ads can continue to get all the authoring benefits of Flash Pro and have the flexibility to run the ad in the Flash Player or HTML depending on what's available on the system. Google and Adobe look forward to close collaboration around efforts like these."

Google has made moves to support HTML5 in the past, including conversion of videos on the popular Web video destination YouTube(related: mac video converter). But Google also still includes Adobe Flash Player embedded in its Google Chrome browser.

The user experiences of Kindle Fire is no better than the Ipad

As it hurriedly scratched the name of the lower-priced wind came, the biggest advantage of Kindle Fire is in its low price, compared to small expensive iPad, Kindle Fire with only about half the price of $ 199 can reach the common basic features of 80% of the iPad. 7-inch screen first save a large sum of money and is almost 200g weight, book size is more portable.

Other than the simplified of hardware , its appearance has been simplified, in addition to switching machine keys no entity keys, slots for headphones only and power supply (USB plugs), not to mention Apple series the volume adjustment keys, it is clear that music Amazon Apple does not want to fight force with Apple. But it is, what the Amazon had been prepared, eBooks, magazines, music, movies, all kinds of App can be purchased. Though the ipad also has some shortcomings, such as it only can support mov file and mp4 format, other many common video formats can not be played on it, so many people have to use a mac dvd to ipadconverter, what is worse, it can not transfer one ipad to other devices, such as pc and mac, if you want to do this , the best way is to use an ipad to mac transfer. However, Kindle Fire has also these shortcomings, users prefer to the ipad.

Kindle Fire itself is a 7 inch of the App Store, all iconic in Amazon Books pages are forever available to consumers to choose. This design has both an advantage and shortcoming, users can use the application that needs though Amazon's strict verification of optimization, which ensuring quality expense amount.

Betting on cloud computing
Kindle Fire had dared to lower the standard of hardware is that it is betting on cloud computing. Among the various types of content in the display screen, there is device/cloud (devices/cloud) option, so you bought from Amazon's eBooks, which were recorded on a remote server, if you change a machine, your informations is still available. Not to mention to watch the movies, which can only rely on online buffer, this on the one hand solved the copyright issue, on the other hand reduce the burden on hard storage of the machine itself.
Amazon released Silk released browser that is based on the Cloud computing, which is a major attraction, the browser will remember your browsing habits, for example, you used at each boot for all network, it will start when you open the browser in advance all networks the contents of the buffer in the background. Silk browsers also have more cloud-based capabilities, it makes an attempt to compute forward transfer of the browser to the remote server machine itself load that is reduced, but in reality, the browser is not faster than the iPad, who let the hardware does not force it. But it is just as fire up chromebook (cloud concepts), all computing new products that are based on disconnection are almost always fatal.

Domestic can not get the Amazon media resources
Of course, Kindle Fire has its great advantage, which is based on Amazon's "media ecosystem". Today the content service is the King, which is certainly attractive. But this temptation can only be in place with Amazon Cloud servers, China is not. That means that Chinese books, movies, music, and so on are not. If we just put our books, movies, music, copy into the Kindle Fire, why should we buy Kindle Fire. In China, at least for now, Kindle Fire's greatest strength was "emasculated". Furthermore, Kindle Fire so far there is no domestic licensed importers. In China, Kindle Fire that lacks a killer was unable to match iPad2. Of course, no one just as cheap to buy it, manufacturers such as electricity, Netac hundreds of Tablet computers can be found everywhere.

Furthermore, the offline life of Kindle Fire is somewhat disappointing, after it was lost weight , it has only 7.5 hours, which were completely beaten by iPad 10 hours of the best record in the industry.

Hardware and the user experience are better than Kindle Fire
Even if no matter how is big the iPad Killer, on the strength to speak to the tablet computers, iPad2 remains the undisputed leader. In the terms of hard power, A5 1024x768 on dual-core CPU, 9.7 inch screen resolution and 10 hours of battery life, let iPad2 performance become the best computer among all tablets. I have to say that the ipad can make 3d videos by using a 3d video converter.

Today, digital product's competition still walks faster, stronger, fancy line. Therefore, the hardware is still the core competitive power of the tablet computer. In this connection, the iPad2 has killed Kindle Fire. But, having said that, on the Tablet PC hardware manufacturers such as Samsung have gone beyond the iPad, why still no match for it? It's blamed on user experience.

They do not need to use a mouse, keyboard, and familiar Windows operations. Only need to finger clicks, write can be completed online, Office, entertainment and other functions. Therefore, many people in even the people who not used the computer, will learn to use the iPad soon. The success of user experience is thanks to Apple's unique iOS system.

Microsoft set foot on the “Thanksgiving trip”

As the most popular desktop operating system, Windows XP has spent her birthday for ten years. In order to thank the millions of users who come from the world for years without leaving, a few days ago Microsoft company in United States Build on the 2011 Conference to be held in California sent a gift – next generation cross-platform (PC, Tablet PC, and Smartphone) Intelligent operating system Windows 8. In a live demo of Microsoft executives, they were a sight for sore eyes.: this operating systems is not only its first tablet of desktop operating systems, which are supported by Microsoft and is likely to become future enough with Google Android and Apple iOS against strong opponents.

Origin: to pick up the splendid "Jedi strikes back"
At one time, Microsoft's Windows Mobile (hereinafter referred to as WM) and Nokia Symbian Smartphone platform firmly have controlled the world. But when Apple iOS and Google Android that two horses "dark horse", turned out later, the two have gradually were put forth by King of "altar". In particular, as the previous generation of the Microsoft Mobile platform, WM 6.5 and did not receive full recognition of the market, poor and monotonous jerky operation of application software interface let many WM 5 or even CE era to grow out of loyal users from defecting to other platforms. Poor hardware utilization, streaming support and social system are not perfect, and many other key elements missing, let WM Phone completely lost face. Though it has some 3D functions, such as it can convert 2d to 3d by using a 3d movie converter.

But Microsoft is, after all, Microsoft, Windows Phone 7 last year (hereinafter referred to as WP 7) test water after successfully, build introduced Windows 8, and was interpreted by markets campaign of Google and Apple "Jedi strikes back". This just a across platform of intelligent system, Microsoft was more looking forward to it can copy before 30 years of that field victory--1981 years, jobs was immersed in Apple II of huge successfully, and day and night to development beyond era of Lisa computer (Macintosh of predecessor), hard drive, and sliding rat, and support interactive graphics operation interface, and more task parallel processing, in that time all most frontier of technology were into products development plans ,But in the end they only made a flashy but low efficiency the operating system, which was extremely expensive . By contrast, Microsoft's MS-DOS with more concise language and very low hardware requirements in the same year has made distinguished achievements for the IBM personal computer accomplishments of obtaining the dominant position.

In terms of hardware, Tablet product that based on Windows 8 system will be rid out of the iPad and Android Tablet completely, which is less expensive and versatility of "birth defects", will achieve ultimately at the interface and compatibility, even beyond the configuration standards for desktop and notebook products. Camera, USB3.0, WIFI, Bluetooth, multi-function expansion base, remote control, in one card reader, onboard storage systems that can match or even in a flexible upgrade, this fully embodies the profound knowledge accumulated by the Microsoft hardware compatibility. Compared with the ipad, Windows 8 has greater advantage in the performance, all of we know that the ipad can only support move file and mp4 formats, so some simple conversions can not be finished, we have to use a dvd to ipad mac converter.

In the area of software development, Windows 8 allows developers to use almost all major language tools (including HTML5/JavaScript, C/C++ and C#/XAML, and so on) to seamlessly create "Metro style" applications (Metro is the name of its user interface). Once production is complete, Windows will provide some ultra convenient built-in tools to help Windows app store to upload the application. Windows app will create a very "transparent" application approval and certification systems, and have more features that users have expect , such as price lists, grades, to purchase or trial options, screen shots, details and reviews, and more. As one developer said that: "Microsoft know how to make use of its ecosystem and make developers satisfied--that would promote the Windows 8, which is an important cause of success.”

The ipod has done great deeds in the development of Apple

In fact, Apple getting all the fame and fortune today originated from the iPod. Apple's revenue, the impact on community foundations, the foundation of enterprise and sales models in the industry are fully integrated, also originated from the iPod.

Put on headphones, press the "play" button. If you are interested in consumer electronics, may wish to know more about how the iPod let all began.

Because the iPod was in a low-level at that time(no music industry executives believe Apple will dominate the digital music market), and influenced by Steve Jobs's legendary, record company eventually said yes Apple, will sell songs on a separate track, and implementation of uniform list prices.

Next, with an unprecedented popular iPod player, the single track download sales practice has become a standard in the industry.

Let hardware become the online store revolution
The action tablet computer is one of the most exciting for people on the consumer electronics market today. IPad is leading the industry as a whole. Before long, I believed Amazon will be the second largest strength Tablet manufacturers.
And also the two companies will lead the whole industry, other companies no longer compete with them. However, though the ipod has being grew all the time, it also has some shortcomings, such as it is not compatible with other operation systems, such as pc and mac, if you want to transfer music from ipod to mac, we have to use a transfer tool, for example, ipod music to computer transfer.

They used this strategy that makes Tablet computer as online store Terminal. Amazon can overcome low price hardware against Android tablets and other non-iPad tablet computer. Such a low price can to maintain, because the new Kindle is a cash register, through which buy Amazon shop goods. Low hardware price finally was purchased by the user actually make up for the media and other products.

It is clearly that Apple does need the iPad to make up for its costs. But it is also the iTunes store sales terminal.
This marketing concept is initially composed of iPod spread, that is, consumer electronic device's primary purpose is to let consumers continue shopping from the hardware vendor. In other words, the typical "razor + blade" sale model is applied to the consumer electronics industry came from the ipod.

Touch revolution
The original button of the iPod used button, in fact, it was already obsolete design. Unlike later iPod, the early generations of the actual rotation of the disc will follow user finger.

Later, the mechanical disc was replaced by touches the disc, using finger contact will be able to operate.

Using the iPod's experience, the most important is to have a sense of touch feedback, as well as using various gestures to control the menu navigation. And the touch experience will distinguish iPod and all other media players.

Media revolution
If you really like iPad, the first you should thank you for iPod. Its birth is superior to from other music players, and become the multimedia player, picture and video, also admitted.

Over the years, the iPod and enthusiast level computers are different concepts, which is most of the core concepts of the computer, that is, a modular, upgradeable, but you need to document management and a lot of optimization work. While the iPod is not to reform as a whole thing, and does not require the user to do anything extra , which will be good and stable running.

App Store revolution
Although it can't tell you the details, at least it can be determined long before Apple launched the iPhone, smart phone has their own applications. Palm, Windows CE, and other intelligent machines have a considerable number of applications. Setup the General order is the same as the computer, the first find a piece called "superhuman invincible" sort of Web site to find the download link, and then by means of a computer and even more trouble installing on your Smart phone. Software upgrade for general users, don't think about it, can be used on the greater good. And the software interface is also not a decent standard.

What repercussions will Kindle Fire have on the tablet market

On September 28, 2011, the global e-commerce giant Amazon published its first tablet product Kindle Fire, and announced to shock the market at the price of $ 199. Amazon Kindle Fire has come to be seen as the most competitors in the Android camp to challenge iPad, what will this product bring little change on the Tablet market?

In the perspective of product design and planning, Amazon Kindle Fire indeed is different from the competitors: this product is adopted with IPS with a 7-inch touch screen (resolution of 1024 x 600pixes) and carrying TI OMAP4, 1GHz dual-core processor, 8 GB built-in storage space than the previous media expectations of larger capacity, it also used a customized operating system that is an Amazon Android operating system. There worth mentioning Amazon Kindle Fire is no built-in lens and microphone, the front of the fuselage is also not any physical keys, what is more the early version of Kindle Fire only supports Wi-Fi network (802.11b/g/n) without supports 3G wireless Internet access and communication functions. If the light looked from the hardware specifications to compare, Amazon Kindle Fire is seemingly not threatening to iPad 2. Though the ipad also has its shortcomings, such as we can not play other common video formats on it, for the ipad can only support mov file and mp4, if you want to play them on the ipad, the best way is to use a dvd to ipad mac converter.

However the first battle between Apple and Google in the Tablet market, Google was at a disadvantage clearly. while the manufacturers has widely seen as the weak Android Tablet market reaction 3 operating systems, including Acer, ASUS, mainly due to it relatively lacked a number of software applications. Because it was only for Tablet design, there are many versions of the past Android 2.x applications cannot be used on the Android version 3, but looking back at iPad, many applications of the ipad2 can be used for iPhone. Recently United States PC makers DELL announced that it will put in more resources in research and development of tablet computers in the future, which is using Microsoft Windows 8 operating system , and for using the Android operating system's product research and development resources will gradually decrease, DELL hoped the changes will provide more and better solutions for enterprise users. DELL founder Michael Dell believed that Microsoft's upcoming Windows 8 operating system is the Tablet market of new opportunities, the past DELL has launched a variety of Android tablets , which have not achieved the expected results, Michael Dell think that the application of Android operating system is not mature.

Five unique features are optimistic about the outside world
Compared with the Apple iPad 2, Amazon Kindle Fire has five distinctive features, the first feature is Flash format playback. Apple insists on perfectionism strategy , which made the closed specification in one cell alone, so on the Internet the most common Flash technology was also rejected in iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch out of the door and replaced by Apple considers "more forward looking" technology. But Flash is still presenting on the internet the most mainstream of streaming media formats, and Amazon Kindle Fire with Android as the operating system core enthusiasts looked forward to meet the many Flash format. In the most relevant body and carry on size and weight, Amazon Kindle Fire is also a notch: Although some people think the screen is bigger and more better, of course, bigger is better, the Tablet is another important consideration! 7-inch tablet screen is relative to the 10-inch screen, relatively lighter weight, only 413 grams of weight is clearly more appropriate for an extended period of carriage and use. What is more, Amazon Kindle Fire can make 3D videos by using a 3d video converter.
