About device profiles

Adobe® Device Central® provides a built-in library of mobile devices. Each device has a profile that contains technical

details about the device and information about the content types supported. View a single profile or a chart showing

multiple profiles. Often, it can be useful to display multiple profiles and compare several devices at the same time.

For example, you might have four target devices for Adobe Flash content you are developing. View the profiles of the

four devices at the same time to determine the best addressable screen size and which FSCommands are supported

by all devices.
