It was a great surprise to read that Nokia will help Microsoft to port Silverlight to S60 platforms (also S40 and Internet Tablet later). It is certainly a smart move from Microsoft to target the biggest market first (Nokia got 53% of the worldwide mobile device market) but it’s quite strange from Microsoft to target first Symbian then Windows mobile (maybe one is more stable than the other?).
[...]“There is clear market demand for rich, Web-based services across a variety of device types, but developing these can often be commercially difficult. For Microsoft this extends Silverlight to a broader range of vendors, platforms and devices. For Nokia it expands the web runtime options on its devices, enabling a wider community of developers and more applications. This should help the uptake of higher speed mobile services and advance a new era of anytime, anywhere device-based computing”, said Bola Rotibi , Principal Analyst at Ovum.[...]
Anyway, read the complete article from ZDnet, or read the press-release from Nokia and go back to Flash Lite 3.0 ;)

I just came accross this video on youTube, Google Maps Mobile (GMM) has added a Location services based on CellID (Cell Of Origine).
Cool, now the question is: is there an API from GMM to get this bluedot position and use it with Flash Lite?
Supported device: most web enabled phones such as Java, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and Symbian Based.
First link by Mark Coppock, he wrote notes about most of the sessions that took place during MAX. His note are full of links and really worth the read!

For all the Flash Lite fan, this is the news of the day: Flash Lite 3 has been released :)
I’ve just read it over Mike Krisher’s Blog.
Extract from the press release:
[...]Adobe announced the availability of Adobe® Flash® Lite™ 3 software, which now supports Adobe Flash Player compatible video and enables the delivery of dynamic Web content on mobile devices[...]
With over 300 Million Flash enabled mobile devices and handsets shipped so far, Adobe expects more than one billion Flash enabled devices to be available by 2010.[...]
“With Flash Lite 3 and its support for video, we’ve passed a major milestone in bringing a desktop experience to mobile and transforming the wireless industry,” said Al Ramadan, senior vice president for Mobile and Devices at Adobe.[...]
Just read via Balagopal NKnair’s blog the opening of the Nokia Beta Labs.
The latest beta app is a Mobile Server to access your mobile directly via Internet:
Mobile Web Server lets you name your device and make it accessible in the Internet with a browser. The software includes several applications from content creation to remote usage, as well as it enables creating your own applications and content.
That made me even sadder to have bought the N90, with it’s old 2G platform…

Project name is Shuriken,
it’s a Component Framework for Flash Lite 2 written in AS2.
This project is really cool, and if your tends to play with Flash Lite, it will save you a lot of time!
You can download some examples directly from the Google Code project website
I’m just hoping that it will be compatible with Flash Lite 3 ;)
