Forum Nokia has published a WRT Extension for Dreamweaver

“The Nokia WRT Extension for Dreamweaver provides features that enable the creation, editing, testing, validation, packaging, and deployment of WRT widgets from within Dreamweaver.

WRT widgets are small, task-focused web applications that are installed and run in the same way as other S60 applications. WRT widgets allow websites or web services to be optimised for use on S60 devices. Because they’re easy to develop and use, WRT widgets are ideal for driving traffic to your website from S60 devices”

Kero Mobile is releasing soon and if anyone is interested in knowing more about it, here is a great description of what the Flash Lite application/platform can do.

“Imagine to have an application on your mobile phone that:

• allows you to browse, view, play and download content
• allows to manage the content
• allows to add/remove content
• allows to turn on/off content
• allows to add/remove content to your favorites
• allows to suggest content to developers/publishers

Kero Mobile is a mobile application that gets installed on your Nokia handset (check Supported Nokia phones).”

Nokia just announced the Symbian 5th Edition and Flash Lite 3 is the standard for the browsing expirience.

“S60 software continues to lead in the support for and use of internet technologies, and includes the Web Browser for S60, which supports desktop-quality browsing with Adobe Flash Lite 3. With the touch enabled products and S60 5th Edition, Internet browsing is made more convenient by enabling scrolling Web pages and interacting directly with Web content by touching with a finger or the use of keys or stylus. The ecosystem now has more options, and user experiences are further enhanced with touch optimized toolbars and easy access to browser and internet application options.”

First device based on the new platform is the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.

The new Sony Ericsson W595 and W902 are Flash Lite enabled. Funny that the version (??) of Flash Lite is not mentioned but my guess is for Flash Lite 2.0.

Here are the Flash Lite specs: “Flash colour depth, 16-bit (536 colours) ; Flash in Screensaver ; Flash in browser ; Heap size for Flash per content type (MB) 2 ; Language support for device fonts and input according to i-mode specifications ; Enabled sound formats for Flash: Midi”

Also on the new developer site there is no selection possible for Flash Lite 2.0.

Alessandro

Via Hiro, looks like that YouTube got the fix for viewing their videos using Flash Lite 3.0. It was a really fast fix!!

Here another great framework that work with Flash Lite 2.x: Mxim Framework

“Mxim Framework facilitates developers to port Web 2.0 experience on mobile devices and concentrate on application logics rather than worry about memory and processing issues on small devices. It also facilitates web developers to port their websites from the desktop environment to mobile devices without sacrificing the richness of their content. The focus of the framework is to replicate the rich user experience on mobile devices that is currently available on the desktop environment. Its a client server environment utilizing the rich possibilities provided by Flash Lite platform on the client device. currently it supports, Flash Lite 2.x – 3.0. It takes care for memory management on mobile device along with taking care of other limited resources on a hand held device.”

Here some demos.

Via WMexpert, a review of the Sony Ericcson Xperia X1

“Is flash lite pre-installed – can you ask them to go to YouTube and play a vid?

Flash lite will be pre-installed, but the unit I used wasn’t connected to the net so I couldn’t test YouTube.”

As far as I know this is Flash Lite 3 embedded into the browser.

Alessandro

Via Bill, Microsoft will integrate Flash Lite 3 in the IE browser of Windows Mobile OS.

Alessandro

Via MocoNews, at the Game Developer Conference, David Collier from Pikkle explained how to use Flash Lite to monetize without the need to be on operator’s deck.

“He said by using Flash, the developers won’t have to tweak an application for every phone because it runs in the browser which are fairly standard. And because it’s not an application, it also means that developers can avoid the carrier’s deck as being the main point of distribution.”

Here more infos on David’s session.
