Janus Symbian is now open source

http://sourceforge.net/projects/janussymbianeng/

Janus Symbian
Engine, the custom made extension that will help you improve Flash Lite
functionalities, has become an open source project! You can simply download it, and you can use it with Janus Symbian to expand the boundaries of Flash Lite! Of course now Janus Symbian Full and Lite have become just Janus Symbian, and it’s free to use even for commercial projects.

I know the application before being open source was showing a “built with Janus” before launching the swf application and that made me prefer the kunerilite wizard.

Mobile Demo Applications

Beside mobile/gallery from Adobe, now we have a page showcasing some Flash Lite applications.

The NO list while you develop for Flash Lite

I will mention:

- do not

* Add annoying sound effects
* Forget to embed all of your dynamic textfields
* Add glow effects to everything
* Make a really long menu system
* Design graphics that have an uneven quality when seen on a mobile screen
* When run on multiple devices, game scales non uniformly showing objects off screen

After many months visionMobile announce the Mobile Industry Atlas. The Atlas

A2 wallchart and PDF format. This is a comprehensive map showcasing 400+ leading
companies across 30 market sectors, spanning all major players involved from
handset design through retailing including development and delivery of hardware,
software, SIM cards, services and content.

27% vs. 15.5% (Europe vs USA)

That’s quite interesting and since we are based in Europe, Romania, we’re more than happy :)

”27 per cent of Europeans have Flash Lite capable handsets (compared to 15.5 per
cent in the US). It’s mainly Nokia and Sony Ericsson phones”

This also means that europeans are in trends and they have the latest technology in their hands.

Silverlight Mobile - LFW

As for Silverlight on the mobile, there was a great buzz recently when Nokia announced it’s going to support SilverLIght on it’s S60 and
some S40 mobile phones. it is not clear yet what will be the limitation of the
runtime on these devices only that it’ll “initially” support only SL 1.0, which
means logic written in JavaScript and no CLR.

Windows Mobile will support Silverlight 1.0 as well from the middle of 2008.
