Device Central is going through some significant changes and improvements to cater for a Flash Platform that is maturing and growing across multiple screens. In this episode, we take a look at an early pre-release version of Device Central CS5 and some of the new features particularly around Device Profiles.
I’m hoping to bring some more video tutorials on Device Central CS5 in the new year, as it progresses through the beta phase. I also have one more video to deliver in this current Flash Lite series, so stay tuned!

A new video has been added to the Developing with Flash Lite Series – “Get to know Flash Lite for the Digital Home”.
Flash Lite for the Digital Home is the jumping point for application developers to move their existing skills and experience onto an entirely new screen – the TV! In this episode we outline the fundamentals of understanding Flash for TV, and some of the things developers will need to consider.

It was recently mentioned by Mark that Adobe is ending the Flash Lite Distributable Player solution. This includes the distributable runtime, Adobe Version Checker (for detecting versions of Flash on devices) and the Adobe Mobile Packager tool. As you can imagine there’s been some ripples through the Flash mobile community about this, and while many say they saw this coming, I’m not sure as many would say that it looks like a positive move. But what does it really mean? Read More
The reality of working with Flash Lite is that you’re creating applications to run on non-PC devices with limited power compared to what you have to work with in the web and desktop Flash environments. This is a simple checklist of some core performance optimzation techniques for helping to make your Flash Lite apps run as smooth as possible.
For those of you who have been developing with Flash Lite for a long time, there might not be any new tips here that you don’t already know (let’s face it, the list has pretty much stayed the same for a while now), but it’s good to be reminded of some things that can slip through the cracks.
In regards to creating contextually aware mobile applications, Location represents one of the most important contexts to consider. Enabling your application to understand the user’s location can mean a more relevant experience. In this episode we look at using Nokia’s Platform Services for S60 5th Edition to access GPS data within your Flash Lite mobile application (apologies for the slightly fuzzy film work on the device at the end!).
