Adobe Flash Lite 3.1 Distributable Player for Windows Mobile and Symbian!
Today Adobe has announced its last creature: Flash Lite distributable player for Windows Mobile and Symbian (the platforms I predicted). We can now use Adobe Mobile Packager to create standalone player for applications, without affecting the Flash Lite browser plug-in or pre-installed standalone player, if present into the device… so we can distribute executable swf files that user can open and use on their phone. Flash lite 3.1 now supports Flash player 9 features and security has been improved… however the bad and sad part is that it still doesn’t support Actionscript 3 :(
The software can be download from Adobe labs: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/distributableplayer.html
The official announce from Adobe is here: http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200902/021609FlashLiteDistr.html
Furthermore a big context has been launched today: the Flash Lite Developer Challenge http://www.flashlitedeveloperchallenge.com
with 100.000 $ in prizes!
I’m quite excited although my disappoint about the missing AS3 support and I’m going to learn more about this news and experimenting with my device… and maybe participate to the challenge :)

Detecting display’s orientation change on mobile devices with accelerometer: a platform indipendent approach (n95, i900, iPhone…) with javascript

As I wrote, I bought a Samsung i900 Omnia (which as Nokia n95, iPhone and other modern cool mobile phones, has an accelerometer), as a web developer one of the first things that I had in mind was “how can I detect the orientation change (landscape or portrait mode) with javascript or actionscript?”. The first

Directly from Adobe’s Canadian headquarter and with the amazing efficiency of FedEx shipping (2 days only from Canada to Italy!), this morning I’ve received a new interesting and fresh book to read: “Adobe Flex 3 – Training from the source”… yes it talks about Flex 3, Actionscript and RIA and is part of an official

After some tests with the Adobe AIR SDK, I’ve discovered the huge limits of developing in HTML + Javascript (of course I’m speaking about a desktop application perspective). So I’ve took a look around and I’ve realized that what I need for AIR (and not only) is Actionscript! It is infinitely stronger, flexible and better
