iPhone web applications

Well looks like Apple released a section of their site dedicated to web applications designed for the iPhone and Ipod touch. The site has a nice starter collection of web applications with such classics as a Facebook application, Digg, sudoku game etc…But more importantly, you can start creating your own web applications at Apple’s Developer Connection. The site has some information on web development guidelines, Safari compatibility, and some sample code.

Let the fun begin.

Adobe Launches Flash Lite 3

Flash Player for Mobile Devices Delivers High-Impact Video and Dynamic Web Content

“ADOBE MAX 2007, CHICAGO - October 1, 2007 — Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq: ADBE) today announced the availability of Adobe® Flash® Lite™ 3 software, which now supports Adobe Flash Player compatible video and enables the delivery of dynamic Web content on mobile devices. Flash Lite 3 allows mobile device manufacturers, operators and content providers to differentiate their offerings by giving users the ability to watch Flash Player compatible video, the world’s most popular video format, and browse Flash enabled Web sites when integrated with a mobile Web browser. Both NTT DoCoMo and Nokia committed to deliver Flash Lite 3 enabled devices in upcoming releases of handsets. With over 300 Million Flash enabled mobile devices and handsets shipped so far, Adobe expects more than one billion Flash enabled devices to be available by 2010.”

One of the features I miss in my old phone (Nokia’s e61) is a flashlite player. I have been developing some mobile applications and games for s19.com. But alas, no flash player for the iphone :(. Hopefully…someday the iphone will be listed on Adobe’s Flash Lite Supported Devices.
