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!

[Nokia WRT] Transforming your Web Design Knowledge into Mobile Design Skills

With the addition of Nokia WRT (WebRuntime) and the Adobe Flash on mobile development it is evident that web developers will migrate to the mobile arena very soon. Become a mobile developer can boost your career in tough times.

I can remember when I started programming to mobile devices using Java programming language eight years ago.
Java ME midlets still targeting mobile development only. Now we can do software that runs on mobile and desktop with few modifications... sometimes a "if" statement.

I am really proud to be at this (re)evolution in mobile phone development. People can't see that Nokia is ahead in convergence services bringing Adobe Flash and Web development for mobile devices.
According to Simon Judge, a respected mobile developer, and GetJar stats, the top 19 phones used to download content at GetJar are all Nokia.

GetJar distribute over 33,00000 separate applications and see 5,297,136 downloads per week. GetJar has downloads for Java, Symbian, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, Palm, iPhone and Flash Lite. Hence, they have a great view of the devices adding applications. Statistics are available at mobref.com.

When I last looked, the statistics had images and data on 1302 devices. These are ranked by how new they are and their market share. Looking at the statistics, it’s interesting to see the top 19 phones are all Nokia

If you are considering mobile development, you might conclude that Nokia S60 and S40 should be the first devices you might support. Another observation is that there’s a large long tail of phones. i.e. A large number of phones with less than 1% market share. " via Mobile Phone Development

If you agree with me and want turn your web knowledge into mobile you can register for web 2.0 conference or go to forum nokia wiki to read more about mobile development.

Flyer Framework runs on almost any OS

Flyer For Maemo
Hello readers, sorry for the long time without posting ... Long short story ... but... Let's to the party!

I am very glad to share our latest news in open source development. You should know that Flyer was primarily built to extend mobile technologies... but... along the development we've discovered the truly power of our platform.

Flyer Framework runs on almost any OS (Symbian, Linux, Windows, Mac OS) that supports both Flash Player and Python. Not all features can be included for every platform at the moment but we are working to do that!

I uploaded a video showing the framework working on Maemo (Linux 2.6.21) on youtube. You can also get access to a short piece of FFM source code at google code page. As soon as I finish the docs I will publish the Flyer source code for Symbian S60.

Flyer Framework for Maemo

Python Library for Flex on Maemo

It’s been a year since we published the first version of the Flyer Framework. We have written several new libraries (maybe some patents found!).

Now we are working to make public the Flyer Framework 2 release 457 and also Flyer Emulator 1 release 55! We are also working to release the first porting of Flyer Framework for Maemo Devices (yes, it's true! Flyer Framework is working with the Flash Player Plugin embedded on the browser! Flex support!)

Flyer Framework dramatically accelerate the use of advanced native features anywhere! Enthusiasts and developers are welcomed to join the Flyer Framework user group.

Got Python working on N800 and N810!

2346351142_a207b573c1.jpg

Maemo rocks! To easily become root on a N810 Device you need to install the OpenSSH (at the end of the installation you will be prompted to change the root password), run x-term application to get a command line prompt, and inside the x-term type: sudo /usr/sbin/gainroot

To install Python for Maemo, inside the x-term type:

  • pt-get update
  • apt-get install python2.5-runtime

Hope this help!

Adobe Flash Lite 4 or Adobe AIR Mobile?! What is coming?!?!

As part of the today's announce of 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?

Going to Bossa Conference by Bike (104 miles)

Next month I'm going to Bossa Conference, a perfect place to discuss on open source software for mobile embedded platforms.

I'm getting ready to go by Bike ( 104 miles ). During all the trip I will be using my N95 with an embedded Flash Lite GPS enabled application. You will be able to track all the trip!!!

Bossa Conference By Bike

The conference will be held at the Summerville Beach Resort during 16th to 19th of March. I'm also looking for anyone interested to sponsor the trip. All collected funds will be donated to GAC, a group that supports children with cancer.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
