Symbian C++: How to use Accelerometer on Symbian 5th Edition

I'm publishing this Symbian C++ source code snippet since there is a lot of issues between S60 Platform Services and accelerometer on Flash Lite 3.x. I can describe a few here:

1) The accelerometer sensor data stop working on idle screen;
2) You have to set a high frame rate on the Flash side to get real time sensor data;
3) When connected to a socket server the Flash Lite runtime reduces the frame rate to 1 then like the previous statement we can't get real time sensor data;
4) In the chart example the memory gets full after about 12 minutes, the app crashes and usually shows a phone message: 'Not enough memory to load file'. (Thanks Steven to point it out)

The source code is based on Forum Nokia Wiki articles. Hope this help someone!

Turn your web … mobile!

I've been working a lot in some great projects at INdT and have not enough time to make this public. So... What am I looking for making Flyer Framework a cross-platform application running in almost any SO (Windows, Linux, Maemo, S60). Am I crazy?!

Everyone wants to turn mobile devices web enabled but what we are going to reach is turn our web browser a mobile device!

How?! I'm not talking about hardware... I'm talking about USABILITY.

Did anyone think how difficult is to an end user send an application to his mobile device from a web site?! My cousin is 10 years old and he can play very complex 3D games and browse the web like no other but he doesn't know how to download or install a mobile application from a web page to his mobile device.

Providing a feature called "send application by bluetooth" on a web page will help users to send any kind of application direct from a website to a mobile device.

Flyer Framework is a kind of plugin that allows users to use advanced mobile features from any website!

Comparing Mobile Platforms: Java ME and Adobe Flash Lite

By Bruce Hopkins

If you’re a mobile developer, you may have noticed that more devices these days are supporting Adobe Flash Lite. According to the latest figures, approximately 300 million devices in the market support some form of the Flash Lite specification. Of course that’s nothing compared to the 1.2 billion (yes, that’s with a “b”) Java ME devices that are currently available, but I thought that it would be worthwhile to see the strengths and weaknesses of each platform side by side. In the tables that follow, I’ll compare the latest and greatest specifications for both platforms in the following categories:

Graphics
Multimedia
Local Device Accessibility
Security
Network Connectivity
Miscellaneous
