Back from Nokia World in Amsterdam

Hi,

I just got back to our trendy office in west London. I attended the Nokia Forum Pro Reception in Amsterdam. Mobizines was shortlisted for two awards. And we got one.

"Best Developer of the Year" now that sounds nice :)

Cool award as well - it glows in the dark.

Playing with my N95

Hi guys,

as you might have heard the new feature pack features the FL 2.0 player as standalone as well as a browser plug-in. And I'm happy to inform you that it works just sweet.

Just point the phone to www.flash-lite.de and navigate down to the post about the Mobizines demonstrator which is a Flash6 movie.



Then use your virtual cursor and activate the flash movie by clicking on it once.
Now the Flash movie react to the 5-way navigation input.

If you click Options this dialog comes up:


Just hit Select and off we go to the standalone player. Dead easy. Love it love it love it.

Addicted to chocolate

I've fallen in love again. This little sexy stylish device is a real Flash-Lite 1.1 wonder. Slim as a RAZR and powerful as an N95. I'm blown away.

Mobizines Demonstrator

Hi,

I just wanted to share our latest development with you. We developed a new previewer who can display the live Mobizines content on any flash enabled device with a player version of 6 or higher. See below the example of the OK! Mobizine:
(Note you have to activate the flash movie once by clicking on it with your mouse)




This is a completely server-side generated Flash movie which can be easily embedded into any website.
Or get it straight onto our phone if you are inside the UK:

Not in the UK but still want the Mobizines service?
Text 'Mobi TimeOut' to +44 7624 806310.

Adobe is having a laugh

I just found this supported device on the Adobe Mobile and Devices Developer Center.
This is great. Wonder if the intern who does the website has lost a bet and sneaked it in.

This is great, can't wait to do some flash-lite on a 64x64 monochrome display.

The N73 on YouTube

My new N73

Some early thoughts to share:

I had a choice of a couple of phones to choose from to become both my main dev-device and my private phone to use for everything non business related.

I decided to go for the N73, mainly because of its QVGA screen. The phone is pretty good after I pimped it with a 2GB mini SD card. But, the main menu and its subfolders take ages to open up if you have 50+ Application installed.



My verdict so far 78/100 points.

Switch to use Blogger

Hi,

I've finally made my mind up and decided to move away from my handcrafted website and use blogger instead.
I hope this will encourage myself to become more active again in sharing my experiences on Flash-Lite development.

I'll keep you posted.


Best regards
