"Tower" is the fifth pre-release from the Qt for S60 porting project. It is based on the Qt 4.5 codebase. Release focus has been on improving graphics and network performance, better GUI integration, and porting even more Qt modules to S60.

Resultado do Concurso Sem Limites: Primeiro lugar

Para minha surpresa hoje recebi uma mensagem do Juarez Junior, também Forum Nokia Champion, informando sobre a primeira colocação no concurso sem limites promovido pelo INdT.

Estou feliz com o resultado mas ainda não estou satisfeito, minha maior felicidade será quando aqueles que lêem este blog também chegarem a alcançar resultados iguais aos que eu venho obtendo.

Com muita garra, coragem, esforço e dedicação para seguir em frente qualquer um pode chegar a estes resultados. Um exemplo claro do que acabei de falar é o Rafael Tavares, que com apenas 15 anos se tornou o mais novo Forum Nokia Champion! Parabéns Rafael!! Espero encontrar você em breve!

Microsoft Silverlight for Nokia S60/S40 devices and the announce of Google Gears Mobile for Internet Explorer Mobile on Windows Mobile 5 and 6, I'm thinking about What is coming on Flash Lite 4?! will Adobe replace Flash Lite for AIR/Flex mobile?!

I'm very confused at this time and I'm going to make some questions for Adobe Mobile Team:

What are the plans for the next Flash Mobile platform?
Are you planning to hearing what developer’s would like to see in Flash Lite 4 or Adobe AIR Mobile?
Are there any efforts from Adobe to porting the Flash Lite Player for Google Android?
