Qualcomm announced that its newest processors will enable Flash playback in web-enabled mobile devices. The company claims its 800MHz MSM7x27 mobile processor will be the first to enable Flash Player for the mass market segment of smartphones and tablets. Mid-tier and high-end devices with Qualcomm's Snapdragon MSM8x55 mobile CPU, such as Windows Phone 7.1 (Mango), will be capable of what the company calls "HD-quality" video. Qualcomm worked closely with Adobe to customize Flash Player for its hardware.
