Sony Ericsson updates Flash Lite Developer Site
Posted by Mark Doherty in Industry News, Mobile Content on May 21, 2008
For those of you who are developing or are interested in creating Flash Lite content for Sony Ericsson devices you can now find more resources on the Sony Ericsson Flash Lite developer center. In the past their Flash Lite information was grouped under the multimedia section but given more and more of their devices support Flash Lite and the recent announcement around Project Capuchin they have created a new dedicated Flash Lite site.
You can expect more information about Project Capuchin soon on their site and the Adobe mobile and devices developer center.

With regards to this reported problem we have been listening and working with Nokia and Forum Nokia we have agreed a workaround.

Channel Me launches at Chunghwa Telecom
Posted by Mark Doherty in Flash Cast, Industry News on May 15, 2008
Yesterday in Taiwan Chunghwa Telecom launched their new Channel Me service, powered by Flash Cast. The service launches with some fantastic looking channels, some of which you can play with here (press the yellow button).
Channels include news, weather, sports, travel, dining out amongst others. The initial seven channels demonstrate that experiences really matter on mobile devices.
Developers in Taiwan and beyond now have the opportunity to build channels for this service. I can’t wait to see this service take off and new channels and devices being added over the coming months. At launch the service is supported on 20 Series 60 and Windows Mobile devices including the stunning new HTC Diamond.
Sony Ericsson – Capuchin – Flash Lite 2.1
Posted by Mark Doherty in Devices, Flash Lite, Industry News on April 30, 2008
Today at JavaOne SEMC announced the Capuchin project, a bridge between Flash Lite and Java ME on their feature phones. Java applications run at native speeds on Sony Ericsson handsets, so don’t be fooled, this implementation is very fast.
This means that by the end of this year you will be able to create Flash content for standalone applications and use a set of new actionscript APIs to access device data. Content will be packaged in the familiar Jar format and signed using the standard mechanism, exactly what you all asked for!
I’m really excited about this project, it seems like the best of both worlds.
