Flash 10.1 Beta 3: Support added for Intel GMA 500 & Broadcom Crystal HD
February 25, 2010
Hallelujah!!! Flash Player 10.1 Beta 3 is here bringing hardware video acceleration to owners of netbooks with Intel GMA 500 graphics. This should make Hulu and YouTube HD usable on machines like the ASUS Eee PC T91MT, Sony VAIO P & VAIO X, the Nokia Booklet 3G, and previous-generation Dell Mini 10. Flash 10.1 beta 3 also supports the Broadcom Crystal HD accelerator found in Pine Trail Atom machines like the newest Dell Mini 10 and HP Mini 210. Engadget reviewed it on the HP Mini 210 and it managed 720p YouTube, although 1080p was a no-go. Remember this is still BETA 3, so we’ll see what happens when Broadcom releases an soon to be expected driver update. For now you should all get downloading and let us know how it’s going in comments.

Atom Pine Trail M HD chip supports Flash Player 10.1
February 15, 2010
Since Intel didn’t come to the tablet with an HD decoder chip that could play HD in 1080p for its Atom platform, it reached out to one of its competitors, Broadcom and used their HD chip.
Intel’s latest Atom platform codenamed Pinetrail M can play HD 1080p with the help of Broadcom’s BCM70015 HD video decoder chip and it will be up to Intel’s partners to implement and buy this chip.

“”The days of the netbook are over,” said Stuart Miles, founder and editor of technology blog Pocket Lint. ”
“Ian Drew, spokesman for chip designer Arm”: “It will be a lot of different machines for a lot of different people,” he said. “This whole market will be exploding in the next couple of years.”Impetus for this change will come, he believes, from the phone world where many, many types of gadgets are already blooming.
Where does one upgrade to in the netbook market? Out of the netbook market.
