Flowella is a simple, AIR-based design tool that allows you to quickly create prototypes without writing a single line of code. Since it’s from Nokia of course it supports Symbian devices right now (e.g. 5800, N97, etc). The program outputs Flash Lite or WRT for the interaction mockups. “Flowella is an easy to use tool [...]

Chuck Freedman had a recent post entitled “Why were there exciting Flash Lite devices at 2010 CES?”. At CES, the Sony Dash, litl, and Light Touch were all Flash Enabled devices which were demoed. Give it a read.

During a recent Adobe e-seminar, it was divulged that Adobe has dropped the Flash Lite Distributable Player Solution project (e.g. Distributable Player, Adobe Mobile Packaging tool, Adobe Version checker).

I’ve posted slides from my Flash Mobile and Device session (Practical Design & Development with Flash on Mobile and Devices) at this past week’s FITC Mobile 2009. You’ll find it among many of my previous presos.

On Sept 13-14th, I’ll be attending FITC Mobile ’09 in Toronto, and giving a couple talks there. The one most Flash related, is entitled: Practical Design and Development with Flash on Mobile & Devices. The Flash player is on hundreds of millions of mobile and other non-PC devices. It is a great runtime to quickly [...]

On2 VP6 codec has been used in Flash since version 8 (native .FLV, or Flash Video) and is very popular for video streaming services these days (e.g. hulu, and many many others)!
