Amadeus Consulting: Silverlight® & Flash® in Mobile: What's the big deal?
Everything, everything, everything seems to be moving mobile these days; we may have even talked about it a time or two, ahem. With all this talk of mobile applications, there are so many factors to discuss: What kind of app? How do I improve my retention? What is the business case for a mobile Web site? However, we'd like to zero in on one issue in particular.
Why are the full-fledged browser rich media plug-ins Adobe® Flash® and Microsoft® Silverlight® so important for mobile? Why do we feel that Silverlight is a front-runner and early adopter?
Wooop hold up, let's talk about WHAT are these Flashy and Silverlighty things?
Flash is a software developed by Adobe that handles lightweight vector animation and is designed primarily to create animations for Web Pages. It allows users to have interactive experiences, use Web applications, and view embedded video and a lot more.
Silverlight is software developed by Microsoft that is a platform that develops interactive applications for Web sites that is similar to Flash, but has surpassed it in terms of interactivity and multi-platform functionality: deep zoom, perspective 3D graphics, advanced skinning and styling, smooth streaming and out of browser.
It seems both Adobe, Microsoft and various other software vendors have had a lot of trouble translating their plug-ins into this environment because of lack of access to mobile OS and battery drainage among many issues. First of all, let's lay out some statistics that discuss why Software giant's care about this so much.
In 2009 alone, over 166 million smartphones were shipped worldwide; Symbian and RIM accounting for a significant chunk of that out-of US market. Particularly in America, we have prevalence towards the Apple® iPhone™, the Google™ Android™, Microsoft's Windows® Phones and various other hardware. The point of all of this is there is a HUGE market for these plug-ins. It has each of these companies chomping at the bit to be the front-runner in this ‘format war,' and justifiably so. There is a ton of money as well as street cred to be had.
On to things we software developers, online marketers and mobile app users can relate to, why do we care!?
From Desktop to Mobile: Replicating Environments
This is a critical issue for those who seek to create a seamless transition from their Web sites to the mobile browsers. For instance, think about how an iPhone user would go about viewing a YouTube™ video. YouTube has made an app so that users can access videos, but this goes outside the way users access them in a traditional environment.
Though this may not deter video-seeking users, translate this scenario to someone trying to access something more important away from a desktop, like their own Website. Once users have the option to access something remotely, they will rely on its ability to be there when they need it. Companies do not want to alienate their customers in a mobile environment, especially those less-tech savvy and disposed to higher income.
User functionality and UI design are such hot button issues these days that it is worth considering the impact the lack of these plug-ins have on the experience of the mobile user.
Consistent and Advanced Engagement
Apple really set the stage for how people viewed mobile browsing, but Android has raised that bar with advanced functionality, multiple application capability and mobile desktop approach to their OS. More and more users view their mobile devices as so much more than a phone; it's their mobile computer, pocket robot, their way to check something while still in a meeting.
Silverlight and Flash can significantly impact the level of engagement by raising the bar further. They have ability to have a rich mobile user interface. The use of Flash and Silverlight can allow users to view rich graphical Web sites with better rendering, view videos in browser, load those videos faster, play online games, etc.
It creates a platform where people are not just accessing static Web sites and viewing text, they are engaging with it in a Web 2.0 fashion. This assists not only with advanced engagement, but also lends itself to replicating environments, discussed above.
Advertising Opportunities
So this point may not be a popular one due to general dislike towards advertising, but it is a compelling one no less. Combining the two points from above, advertisers and companies have a huge opportunity if:
- Mobile users treat their phone like a mobile computer
- Mobile users engage their phone in an interactive way
- Mobile users constantly utilize their phones, using them anytime and anywhere.
This means that there is a huge opportunity for advertisers to configure their ads to the mobile environment, increase the number of impressions because they have greater and more consistent access to end-users. Additionally, with the advent of Silverlight and Flash for mobile, they will be able to make more engaging and rich advertising, rather that the static options available now.
Apple just entered into this space by releasing iAd, which is a pretty big advancement not only for mobile advertising, but the Apple customer paradigm. This means that the other front-runners in mobile advertising are looking to continually one-up Apple to compete for ad dollars, and they need Silverlight and Flash's engagement qualities to do it. We have a whole previous blog post about iAd; feel free to read more about it here.
The stage has been set; we need these plug-ins on our mobile devices, stat. So what is out there now to tackle this and get more engaging mobile computing experiences? Let's discuss.
Silverlight Out of Browser
Now it may seem like this is similar to Adobe's AIR®, but let's discuss why Silverlight Out of Browser is the real deal. It features a sandbox-like environment where Silverlight is not dependent on a browser, and is perfect for mobile. In addition, it gives application developers an environment to offer file system access, multi-touch development, host HTML content, and customize the trimmings, as well as deep zoom, smooth streaming and a myriad of other engaging qualities.
Amadeus Consulting's creative team is considered experts with all things Silverlight, so naturally they were quite excited about the transition from the Web to Mobile. Feel free to follow-up with our team about how we can create a unique mobile experience.
Adobe AIR/Flash Lite®
Adobe AIR is a sub-set of the Flash product that is positioned as an out of browser application as well. It allows developers to build rich Internet applications that run out of the browser, on different kinds of operating systems, while leveraging the suite of tools that Flash offers: advanced video streaming, vector graphics and other media integration. The limitation of Adobe AIR is that it does not currently run in mobile environments.
Flash Lite is a version of the Flash suite that is optimized to run on mobile applications, featuring many of the same features as Adobe AIR. However, the limitation of Flash Lite is that it runs only through proprietary hardware browsers, (i.e. Nokia, Sony Ericsson developed mobile browsers), and not on the giants Internet Explorer®, Safari®, Firefox™, Chrome™.
So Flash or Silverlight?
Don't worry, we're not trying to talk you out of using Flash, we're trying to pinpoint the specialties of Flash and Silverlight for different needs. Flash is an incredible platform that has been well-tested and an industry leader for a long time. Silverlight is somewhat new to the sector, but is proving to have a very forward thinking and engaging approach to development.
The beauty of our collective team knowledge is that we know how to develop on all of these platforms. We like to make recommendations for our clients from the offset that gathers needs, and creates a better fit for one of these platforms.
Feel free to contact us to discuss which of these rich Internet application software products suits your needs best.
