With different backgrounds, we all aim at providing useful information about the mobile environment, in all its aspects. From its manifesto:

The aim of this community is to share as much as possible information related to the mobile development using all the social networks and the new capabilities of the NET to make easier find updated contents and to create a deep feeling of connection between developers.

The journey is at the beginning, hope you’ll join in! :)

The funny thing is that Flash Lite is mentioned as an “emerging” platform, even if it’s not that young :)

From the official announcement:

In 2009, we reported an installed base of 80+ million devices with Flash Lite support in Japan. To download the Flash Lite SDK, log into your account, select the “Sites & Apps” tab, and click on the “Add Site/App” link. On this page, you can register your Flash Lite app and then download the SDK.

This will finally allow all Flash Lite developers to easily integrate AdMob advertising into their applications and games, without the need to implement this functionality from scratch.

After the announcement of in app purchasing for Flash Lite from Kuneri, this is a big step towards the monetization of Flash Lite content, and will hopefully help the Flash Lite developers’ community to grow further.

Maybe we won’t become all billionaires, but who knows? :)

MeeGo is an open source, Linux project which brings together the Moblin project, headed up by Intel, and Maemo, by Nokia, into a single open source activity. MeeGo integrates the experience and skills of two significant development ecosystems, versed in communications and computing technologies. The MeeGo project believes these two pillars form the technical foundations for next generation platforms and usages in the mobile and device platforms space.

Moblin and maemo are merging! We are taking the best pieces from these two open source projects and are creating the MeeGo software platform. Both teams have worked for a long time to support the needs of the mobile user experience – and MeeGo will make this even better. We want it to be fun, focused, flexible, technically challenging and ultimately, something that can change the world.

While it’s pretty good for a mobile browser, I actually wait to see a full 100/100 for the next MicroB release ;)

To view the SVG-Edit demo, just point your browser to: http://svg-edit.googlecode.com/svn/branches/2.4/editor/svg-editor.html

Downside? You can only save your creations as SVG documents :(

Just point your N900 browser to http://www.michaelv.org.nyud.net/ and enjoy :)
