Nvidia and Adobe had announced a committment to bring rich web experiences to netbooks through their all-new Open Screen Project. The project is designed to boost the capabilities of Flash Player 10.1 using Nvidia GPUs. Development of Flash through Nvidia could have  a beneficial impact on netbooks, especially considering the extent to which Nvidia chipsets have already appeared in netbooks.

HP, Lenovo, Samsung, and Acer are all customers of Nvidia that would benefit through the implementation of better GPU and graphics acceleration on their netbooks and other gadgets.

Dan Vivoli, senior VP of Nvidia, explained that "Consumers want the best Internet experience – whether it's a mobile device in their pocket or a netbook at the coffee shop," and "[Nvidia's] engineers have worked closely with Adobe to make this a reality." This will most likely mean smoother viewing experiences of flash platforms using SD and HD video via Nvidia GeForce, Ion, and Tegra GPUs.
