Stay on Target
So how’s my X-wing Targeting Computer coming along? Is it finished? Well I’m getting there but you know what they say, “The last 10% of a software engineering project accounts for 90% of the development time”, and it’s definitely turning out to be true for this one. As well as ironing out a large number […]
Samsung Galaxy Tab and Flash
Flash Player 10.1 for mobile is a significant step for the Flash Platform but I believe tablet devices is where Flash could really flourish. Don’t get me wrong, being able to check-out Flash content on mobile phones is pretty damn impressive, but the small screen is always going to create usability issues, especially for the […]
Native 64-bit Flash Player
Yesterday Adobe announced the availability of “Square” – their native 64-bit Flash Player for all major desktop operating systems including Windows, Mac and Linux. As well as the native 64-bit support, Adobe has been collaborating with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer team to take advantage of the hardware-accelerated graphics capabilities in the newest version of IE. Apparently […]
Flash Apps? There’s a Phone for That.
No this isn’t another newspaper ad by the guys at Motorola. Apple has just done a complete U-Turn and are now allowing Flash apps back onto the App Store after having relaxed their app-developer restrictions. I suspect Adobe are running around right now trying to get the iPhone Packager team back together again. I believe […]
Flash Websites? There’s a Phone for That.
I really like this Motorola Droid 2 ad that was printed in the Wall Street Journal the other day. Considering most average users probably haven’t even heard of Flash it’s good to see the platform get a name check. I found the dig at Apple quite amusing if not a little risky. Apple has such […]
Flash Camp Birmingham Postponed
Hopefully you’re all as lazy as me and haven’t actually booked travel and accommodation to Flash Camp Birmingham. Why? We’ll because it has been postponed that’s why. Flash Camp won’t take place until 24th March 2011 now!!! That’s so far in the future we might all be living on the moon by then. At least […]
Flash, Usability and the Mobile Web
A big congratulations to Adobe. Flash Player 10.1 is now available on the Android Market for Android 2.2 devices. Those planning to purchase new handsets such as the Motorola Droid 2 will be pleased to know that Flash Player 10.1 will come pre-installed allowing Flash content to work straight out of the box. It’s a […]
I feel like I could take on the whole Empire myself
Wow! The last few days have been pretty amazing and I’d just like to thank everybody for the overwhelming positive response to my X-wing Targeting Computer app. I’ve had desperate Star Wars geeks begging me to release it on the Android Market. Others have even resorted to threatening me with physical violence if I don’t […]
X-wing Targeting Computer
Update: You can find a post about the iOS remake of my X-wing Targeting Computer app here. I’ve always wanted to be an X-wing pilot, helping the Rebel Alliance in their desperate struggle against the Galactic Empire. Unfortunately we haven’t yet acquired the technology in this galaxy to build reliable and safe X-wing fighters. However […]
Getting Started with AIR for Android
You’ve probably noticed my posts haven’t been as frequent of late. We’ll it’s all Adobe’s fault! You see I’ve been spending way too much time coding cool stuff for my Google Nexus One rather than blogging. Hold on, actually maybe that’s a good thing. Anyway, I have managed to finish an AIR for Android app […]
