Along with my HTC Hero, the UPS guy also handed me a package containing a copy of AdvancED:Flash on Devices – Mobile Development with Flash Lite and Flash 10, today, so apparently the book is shipping from amazon.

We’ve setup a basic companion website – advancED.flashmobilebook.com, and will be growing this, along with supplemental material that did not make it into our alloted 600 pages for this title.

Here is more info on the book:

My slides from Flash on Tap 2009: Brewing Flash Experiences on Non-PC Devices.

According to Adobe, Flash now runs on close to one billion devices, worldwide. Scott Janousek, Adobe Community Expert for Mobile and Devices and co-author of “Foundation Flash Applications for Mobile Devices”, will cover what’s new in the exciting world of Flash on the Non-PC realm. This session will include an overview of the latest tools, products, and services from Adobe that designers and developers can leverage to create compelling mobile and device user experiences across Non-PC device platforms (e.g. mobile phones, Mobile Internet Devices, and other Consumer Electronic Devices).

Well deserved. Device Central CS4 saves Flash Mobile developers precious testing time (due to emulation capabilities).

Kudos to the Device Central Team.

If you take a look at the mobile platforms out there, lots of folks have innovated off Adobe’s ideas (while sadly, others still have crappy emulators).

Adobe Device Central CS4 Update #2 is released and contains 46 new, as well as some enhancements (i.e. fixes) to existing profiles.

You can download it here.
