In fact even in India every 4/8 phones is flash lite enabled whereas 1/100 phones is i-whatever :) Sorry Alessandro! :)

It's strange to see such comments from that VC, since they invested in AdMob and GetJar, both invested in Flash Lite technology. The simple fact that in Japan, Flash content is the de facto standard and it's making a lot of money, suggests that these people should do their homework first. Also US ventures, see only US land, they have no idea that there are other countries where the i-whatever it's the minority of minority of mobile ecosystem. Alessandro Ciao,

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 13:17:22 +0000 http://www.biskero.org/?p=4709#comment-254859 Hey Alessandro, I have done limited work with Flash Lite, but I have to admit it does provide a wide array of choices in mobile market. However, with the new Flash Player 10.1 or AIR for mobile you can use the same codebase and APIs for mobile devices and desktop computers whereas Flash Lite can only be run on mobiles. I think this is a huge improvement over Flash Lite and one that will greatly impact the mobile market. Cheers Hey Alessandro,

Not sure how much experience you have on Flash Lite, but I have created Flash Lite applications that ran on 4 or 5 different platforms with no code change, no recompiling, just different packaging and been able potentially to address an install base of hundreds of millions of phones. So still puzzling the fact that there are so few companies investing on Flash Lite. Alessandro Ciao Paulius,

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 11:18:37 +0000 http://www.biskero.org/?p=4709#comment-254807 The true value of the new Flash Platform is portability. Flash Lite was not picked up despite it's huge install base because it needed additional investment from developers - the content had to be prepared specifically for Flash Lite (different player, different API's, different capabilities). With Flash Player 10.1 and Adobe Air for Mobile you can literally take your existing code, and run it on desktop and web without no or with minimal adjustments (mostly related to screen size). See our game, Alchemist. We released it on iPhone using Adobe Packager for iPhone, as AIR application on Android and as free game on Kongregate - it runs identical code and we were able to port to each platform in matter of minutes.

Player 10.1 and mobile AIR give us publishing capability, but we still have to learn how to take best advantage of it, agreed.... ;-) jd/adobe I read it, and will pass it along, but there’s a lot of it. ;-) In the part you highlighted, yes, device types offer different user affordances, and hence interface conventions.
