Nokia Now Supports Flash Lite on Nearly 20 Devices

(from Nokia newsletter)

Just 15 months after Nokia announced it would license Flash Lite technology, the company now has 16 devices that will ship with Macromedia Flash Lite from Adobe as a default component and three devices that will ship with Flash Lite in specific-language versions. The Nokia devices include all 12 of the S60 3rd Edition devices the company has announced — including the Eseries enterprise devices, the Nseries multimedia computers, the Nokia 3250 phone, and the Nokia 5500 Sport — as well as four Series 40 phones: the Nokia 6125, Nokia 6131, Nokia 6136, and Nokia 6233 phones. Flash Lite 1.1 is the version currently shipping in S60 and Series 40 devices, and the transition to the next release of the player, Flash Lite 2, will begin in the second half of this year.

Learn Carbide the Easy Way

Carbide tools from Nokia make it easy to create great mobile applications, and two new screencasts make it easy to start using the Carbide tools. Each screencast shows how a particular tool works, and includes clear narration to aid the learning process. Screencast viewers can pause the presentation, skip ahead, or repeat any section as often as they desire. Each screencast is packaged as a self-contained downloadable file, so that a developer can view it anywhere — even in a location without Internet access.
