Via Mark: Weird nickname for a phone (especially following up names like Prada and Renoir), by the LG KP500 touch screen device is running some cool stuff, including Adobe Mobile Client. Mark explains how this runtime is different from Flash Lite – basically the same reason we needed Flash Lite MMI (may ring some bells for some of you other long-timer Flash mobilists out there).
There’s a tonne of work that goes on between Adobe and OEM partners that the general developer community never sees, and will never get a chance (or really have a need) to play with directly. Many OEMs need custom solutions for particular devices and use cases, and the on-flow effect of this for the wider community is that, as Mark mentions, Adobe learn more about how to solve particular problems and are able to bring new features or enhancements to the main Flash Lite client and subsequent technologies such as Flash Lite Distributable Player.
Great to see OEMs like LG continuing to invest heavily into Flash as the presentation layer for new and more powerful devices.Cool video of the device on Mark’s post also.
