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.


If you're attending MAX and are interested in learning more about the opportunities for web and Flash developers to create applications for millions of Nokia devices worldwide, here are the sessions:

Building World-Class Multimedia Applications on Nokia Devices
2-3pm Monday 5 October
room 404A
presenter: Robert Burdick

Open Screen Project Fund: Fueling the Future of Flash Experiences
5-6 pm Monday 5 October
room 503
presenters: Bill Perry and Mark Doherty

Mobile Application Development with Nokia Web Runtime
1:30-2:30 Tuesday 6 October
room 402A
presenter: Michael Bierman

Also make sure to check out the Open Screen Project Fund Winner's booth on the exhibit floor where we and Adobe, along with some of the actual fund winners, will be showing some of the funded applications from the Open Screen Project Fund.

Hope to see you at MAX.

It's been several months but I've finally been able to update the devices with Flash Lite spreadsheet to be more focused and provide more details that Flash developers will find beneficial.

You can now download the Nokia Devices with Adobe Flash Technologies pre-installed version 4 (PDF). For now this PDF will be hosted here on my site until we can get it posted on Forum Nokia.com and Adobe.com.

You may want to know how many Nokia devices have some type of Adobe Flash technology support (either Flash Player as a browser plug-in) or Flash Lite (for standalone apps, personalization or as a browser plug-in):

• maemo= 3 models
• Symbian S60 = 62 models
• Series 40 = 55 models
  

What's new:
- only covers Nokia's platforms and devices (maemo, Symbian S60 and Series 40)
- lists values for 19 different attributes for each device
- includes information that's relevant for a Flash web or Flash Lite developer to better determine what devices support which technologies

Note: all information is based on publicly available data that can be found at the Forum Nokia device matrix and the Nokia device profiles within Adobe Device Central CS4. This data is accurate as possible, however if you find anything that doesn't look correct, please let me know so I can make any necessary changes.

Forum Nokia is currently running our Mobile Design Challenge and are looking to the design and developer community to provide the best wiki articles in the following categories:

• Theming
• Flash Lite UI Components
• Usability
• Surprise us! (anything related to mobile design)

The contest ends 30 June so you have a few weeks left to submit your ideas.  We will be awarding at least one N97 multimedia computer to each category.

For example if you were interested in creating Flash Lite UI components:

1. Get the example components
2. Read the guide
3. Create your own component and publish it on Forum Nokia Wiki
4. Here's an example component

For Themes and Usability there are simliar info and links available.
