Adobe® Device Central CS4 provides access to a large online library of mobile devices, which includes all the devices Adobe supports, whenever you connect. From the online library, search and download the devices you want to work with to your local library. Until you download devices from the online library, the local library contains only generic Flash Lite™ devices.

Each device profile contains technical details about the device and information about the media and content types it supports. You can view profiles singly or many at one time. View multiple profiles in a table to compare several target devices. For example, if you are developing rich media content, the comparison can help you determine the best addressable screen size and common FSCommands.

See View device profiles for information about viewing and grouping profiles.

1. In the Local Library or Online Library panel, expand a folder.
2. Do one of the following:

   • To view the profile of a single device, select the device name.

   • To view multiple devices simultaneously, Shift-click the device names for a continuous selection, or Ctrl+click (Windows®) or Command+click (Mac OS®) for a discontinuous selection.
