This wasn’t an easy decision. After all I’m supposed to be a Nokia fan boy. However, after much deliberation my trusty wee Nokia 5800 has been put aside and I’m now using the Google Nexus One as my primary mobile. Anyone who knows me will be well aware that I’m quite enthusiastic when it comes [...]
Does it look familiar? Of course it does, it’s the HP Windows 7 slate. It was certainly one of the most promising looking tablets on the horizon and I for one was a little upset when it looked like HP had pulled the plug on the project. Thankfully HP has just announced that it will [...]
Flash competitions are like buses. You wait ages for one then three come along at the same time. But hey I’m not complaining and neither should you because three separate competitions simply means three more chances of winning something! Adobe are really starting to push the Flash platform on mobile and along with its partners [...]
The Challenge There’s much talk of creating content once with Adobe Flash and running it just about anywhere. Now anyone who’s had experience writing Flash content for mobile will know that it’s not that simple (all devices aren’t equal after all) but hey, I’m always up for a challenge and thought I’d try and port [...]
Okay this is a slightly controversial post but it’s something that’s been nagging at me for a good few months now so I thought I’d put it out there and see what people think. Will Adobe’s mobile vision for Flash restrict future features? “Why would it?” you might ask. Well the whole point of Flash [...]
Just thought I’d share a video of an iPhone app that I considered developing using Flash Professional CS5′s iPhone Packager. Of course I won’t be able to publish it to the App Store due to changes in Apple’s developer agreement but I still thought it would be interested to throw together a very rough prototype [...]
Great news folks. Forum Nokia’s Online Flash Lite Packager is live again. To be honest I was starting to fear the worst but true to their word the boys and girls at Forum Nokia have wheeled out a new version. So if you fancy converted any of your existing Flash projects to Flash Lite and [...]
It’s getting closer. The first public betas for both Flash Player 10.1 and Adobe AIR 2 for Android are almost upon us. If you’re interested then sign-up to be notified via the Flash Player 10.1 or Adobe AIR 2 beta pages. It’ll be interesting to see what the performance is generally like when browsing Flash [...]
Well that’s the impression Adobe are trying to give with this pretty neat video that I spotted on Mark Doherty’s blog. It’s not quite there yet but with the arrival of Flash Player 10.1 expect to see Flash on most tablets and many of the smart phone’s coming to market.
Pop over to NoRestForTheWicked and you’ll find a set of nifty ActionScript 3 iPhone components by Nick Jonas. He’s decided to start small but what’s there looks great and should come in handy for anyone wishing to prototype potential iPhone UIs in Flash or for those simply wanting to get a head start with their [...]
