MoMac has announced the launch of its casual games platform, GoPlay. GoPlay has been designed to allow mobile network operators and major media organizations to offer a completely new games experience to their users. GoPlay uses Adobe Flash Lite technology to allow game-play directly from the mobile device browser.
The service will launch with around 30 games including arcade, action and puzzle games, from MoMac’s development division BoosterMedia, as well as other developers.
Bill has posted a new article on his blog, the article bill said Nokia will be presenting three sessions for developing Flash Lite content, at the Adobe MAX conference in Los Angeles, from 5-7 October.
A Flash Lite technical session will start on 10 October 2009 in Bangalore by Mobile Monday Bangalore. The speaker is Debashish Paul, a Lead Engineer at Adobe Systems and he will cover Flash Lite development, testing and deployment of content on devices.
Based on the Adobe Flash Platform,Adobe Flash Lite is highly optimized implementation of the Flash Run time for mobile phones,consumer electronic devices and internet-connected home digital devices.Flash Lite enable OEMs and service providers to differentiate their devices via customized application and user interface,a more complete web experience and the ability to acess video and rich content across devices.Flash Lite for the digital homes enables the delivery of high definition content and rich application to the internet- connected TVs and TV-connected consumer electronic devises.Flash Lite for the digita homes enables the delivery of high-definition content and rich application to the internet connected.TVs and TV-connected consumer electronic devices in the digital living room.Additionally,Flash Lite allow developer to quickly create enaging applications,accelerate time to market and increase customer adaptation.Debashish From the Adobe Engineering Team will demonstrate how easy is to create Flash Lite application and Deploy on Phone.This will be a practical session,where the audience can follow the presenter on the laptop and eventually would have Flash Lite application ready for use.
Adobe is stepping in with its own Adobe Flash Platform distribution service, which aims to help developers get their apps onto web social networks, but also smartphones.
Adobe is working with widget firm Gigya on the initiative, which on the mobile side will support Windows Mobile, SymbianS60 and – strangely given its lack of Flash support – the iPhone.
The Distribution service available through Adobe Flash Platform Services offers free and paid methods for distributing applications to social networks, mobile devices, and desktops. It also enables developers and businesses to track the distribution of and user engagement with their applications. Finally, it enables monetization of applications through ad hosting.
Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch said that the full featured version of Flash for smart phones will be available in beta by the end of this year and by early next year the technology will be making use of multi-touch and accelerometer features on smart phones.
Ted Patrick, Adobe’s Senior Manager of Developer Communities, he said "I think we will see Flash on different devices support the soul of the device in capabilities and APIs".
We have found the mobile Flash demonstrations shown today by Adobe were all on Android devices, still no world on Flash for the iPhone. ("It’s up to Apple," was the line again today.) A bevy of beautiful, touchable, turnable, location-aware Flash apps on Android could create a pretty compelling competitor to the contents of the iPhone app store.
I think Flash on Iphone is a very hard project, looking forward Adobe and Apple will resolve the difficult problem.
Corona, is a software development kit for the iPhone. It allows less-technical designers to create applications much as they would using Flash. Corona supports a simpler set of programming commands than Apple does, yet it still allows developers to use the iPhone’s built-in accelerometer (which lets you control an app by moving the phone around, rather than tapping on the keyboard) and built-in graphics acceleration.
Ansca is a new software company led by an award-winning team of former Adobe mobile software veterans responsible for the leadership and technical breakthroughs that helped AdobeFlash Lite reach nearly a billion devices.
Ansca is privately funded. The management team aren’t experienced startup managers, but they have years of immersion in Flash culture as Adobe employees. CEO Carlos Icaza has 20 years’ engineering and management experience. He ran teams at Adobe, most recently those that built Flash Lite, Flash Mobile Authoring, and Flash Cast. CTO Walter Luh led the Flash Lite team before jumping off to start Ansca.
Adobe will release a beta version of Flash Player 10 (FP10) for smartphones. The release will come during October at Adobe MAX 2009. Now, with Flash 10 confirmed to come to Android developers will be able to use “real” Flash and large chunks of their web code for mobile, adding a new dimension to the use of Flash in mobile. On top of that Flash 10 is a quantum leap in performance. Flash Lite, simplified, is a poor version of Flash 8. Between Flash 8 and 10 there’s 3 years of development. Flash Lite has relatively poor graphical performance and it also poorly handles sound.
We are bringing Flash Player 10 to smartphone class devices to enable the latest web browsing experience. Multiple partners have already received early version of this release and we expect to release a beta version for developers at our Max conference in October. Google’s Android, Nokia’s Symbian OS, Windows Mobile and the new Palm Web OS will be the first devices to support web browsing with the new Flash player…
