I have some great news for those of you planning on attending Adobe MAX next week. We will have a special guest in our "Open Screen Project Fund: Fueling the Future of Flash Experiences" session - David Blaine.

David will be talking about his David Blaine Magic Trick application being developed with Flash Lite for Nokia touch screen devices that is planned to be deployed globally through Nokia's Ovi Store when it's complete. This application is being funded through the Open Screen Project Fund and we're excited to have David talk about his application.

There will also be three other funded applications demoed and discussed so you will see and hear first hand about what each of these developers created using Flash technologies for Nokia and other devices. They include:
- UV Layer
- Species Explorer
- CNN International

Additionally David will be at the Open Screen Project Fund Winners booth in the exhibit area from 6-7pm on Monday so you can stop by to say hi and see some of the other Open Screen Project Fund winners from Nokia and Adobe.

So if you're interested in seeing what David has to show and to see some other great applications developed with the Open Screen Project Fund, attend the "Open Screen Project Fund: Fueling the Future of Flash Experiences", which will be in room 503 from 5-6pm on Monday 5 October.

It's been a while since I've last posted on my blog and wanted to let you know that Nokia will be presenting three sessions at the Adobe MAX conference in Los Angeles, from 5-7 October. This will be my seventh MAX conference and this year I'll be co-presenting a session discussing some of the Open Screen Project Fund winners and how developers can apply for funding.
