<description><![CDATA[TweetDeck&amp;39's logo.Twitter has agreed to acquire TweetDeck, a Twitter desktop client preferred by many of the social-media service's most active users, for $40 million in cash and stock, according to a CNN report.The deal has not been officially announced yet, but a purchase agreement was signed today, according to the report, which cited sources close to the deal. Twitter declined to comment on the report. &quot;For all those who might be curious, we continue to not comment on rumors,&quot; the company said on its official public relations Twitter account.TweetDeck has reportedly been the subject of a recent bidding war. In April, The Wall Street Journal reported Twitter was in &quot;advanced talks&quot; to acquire TweetDeck for $50 million, significantly more than the final deal was worth. In February, TechCrunch reported that TweetDeck had been sold to UberMedia, a company that owns a portfolio of Twitter clients and related applications. However, Twitter soon blocked UberMedia's applications, citing a variety of concerns including trademark violations and privacy issues before reinstating them several days later.If the report rings true this time, it makes sense for Twitter to own the client of choice among its most dedicated users. Twitter has aggressively pursued an acquisition strategy in building up a suite of applications. It purchased Tweetie in 2010 and turned it into Twitter foriPhone. In 2008, it purchased the Summize search engine and turned it into Twitter Search.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The next major update for Flash on Android mobile devices, version 10.2, will hit the Android Market on March 18, Adobe announced today.Thata4a4s good news for owners of Motorolaa4a4s Xoom tablet, as it launched without Flash support two weeks ago.  As the first device running Android 3.0 a4AHoneycomba4 on the market, the  Xoom landed too early for Adobe to release an updated version of Flash  for that OS. Flash 10.2 fixes that.The  update brings Flash support to Android 3.0 devices, and it will upgrade  previous Flash software on Android 2.2 and 2.3 phones and tablets.  Motorola says that the Android 3.0 version of Flash 10.2 will be a beta  release, meaning ita4a4s still a work in progress.Flash  10.2 features better speed improvements on newer phones and tablets running dual  core processors, including the Xoom, Motorola Atrix, and LG Optimus 2X.  It will also be able to take advantage of graphics accelerated  rendering of Flash videos, games, and other content. The updated Flash  also brings exclusive features to Android 3.0, including hardware  acceleration for high-definition videos (which will reduce CPU stress),  and deeper integration with Androida4a4s web browser rendering engine &amp;8212'  which will speed up web page scrolling and will allow Flash content to  run right in the browser.Adobe  has also included improved software keyboard support, which will let  developers better optimize Flash applications that require keyboard  inputs for mobile touchscreen interfaces.Adobe  didna4a4t say when Flash 10.2 would land on other mobile platforms, most  of which are still waiting for Flash 10.1 appear. The company previously  said that Flash will be available on BlackBerry, Windows Phone 7,  WebOS, and Symbian platforms, but thus far it has only managed to  deliver a beta release for WebOS.As  Adobe continues to improve its support for Flash on mobile devices,  and as mobile hardware steadily improves, Applea4a4s arguments against  including Flash in the iPhone and iPad &amp;8212' mainly, that it&amp;'s a battery and performance hog &amp;8212' are beginning to seem increasingly  trivial. It may not happen this year, but I wouldna4a4t be surprised if  Apple ends up embracing some form of Flash in the future.Next Story: Flexible solar panel maker SoloPower raises $13.5M Previous Story: Sony launches first free-to-play online game on PlayStation NetworkPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: Android, Flash, Flash 10.2, smartphones, tabletsCompanies: Adobe, Apple          Tags: Android, Flash, Flash 10.2, smartphones, tabletsCompanies: Adobe, AppleDevindra Hardawar is VentureBeat's lead mobile writer and East Coast correspondent.
