Nokia at Adobe MAX

Nokia have some sessions lined up at Adobe MAX next week to showcase what’s happening on their mobile platforms for Adobe Flash and web platform developers, and also to discuss opportunities such as the Open Screen Fund. The session on Nokia Web Runtime will be espeicially of interest I think to many developers outside the Flash platform, as there have been some great links made with web applications for Nokia devices and Adobe tools such as Dreaweaver (you should also consider that non-Flash-based AIR applications using HTML/JS/CSS aren’t all that too dissimilar to native Nokia Web Runtime widgets … ). Here are the sessions you should add to your agenda:

Building World-Class Multimedia Applications on Nokia Devices
2-3pm Monday 5 October
Room 404A
Presenter: Robert Burdick

Open Screen Project Fund: Fueling the Future of Flash Experiences
5-6 pm Monday 5 October
Room 503
Presenters: Bill Perry and Mark Doherty

Mobile Application Development with Nokia Web Runtime
1:30-2:30 Tuesday 6 October
Room 402A
Presenter: Michael Bierman

There’s also the Open Screen Project Fund Winner’s booth in the exhibit area, where you can see some demos of mobile apps that have been funded so far. Unfortunately our app has only just been funded, so no sneak peeks of Pocket Mogul just yet ;)

Looking forward to meeting as many Flash mobile people as possible next week in LA!

Palm Joins Open Screen Project – Flash Player 10 coming to devices

Palm have joined in the Open Screen Project, and have committed to brining Flash Player 10 to their devices. The number of times I have been asked over the past few years, “I have an application that I want to build with Flash, but my customer base all use Palm” has almost been as many as the iPhone questions! There’s certainly a resurgency of interest in this platform since the Pre was announced, and great to see that Flash is going to be part of its future.

Adobe Announces Open Screen Project Fund

From Adobe @ Mobile World Congress

The Open Screen Project Fund is a $10 million market development fund that will provide grants to developers in order to accelerate the creation of apps, content and services that leverage the Adobe Flash Platform and run across mobile, desktop and consumer electronics devices.

Developers around the world are invited to submit their ideas. Proposals will be reviewed by an Open Screen Project Fund steering committee. We are seeking applications that work across devices, and showcase the key features of Flash Lite, Flash Player and AIR. While the apps do not have to run across all three screens (desktop, mobile and CE devices), at a minimum a mobile version is required. Additional criteria can be found in the FAQ on the website.

You can apply now via the website.
