Open Project Screen Adobe
Adobe has announced details about the Open Screen Project, pretty important news for mobile Flash Lite developers as well. Mark Doherty/Adobe writes in his blog more details and thoughts to non-PC developers (mobile being important one). “The Open Screen Project is dedicated to driving consistent rich Internet experiences across televisions, personal computers, mobile devices, and consumer electronics.” “The Open Screen Project is working to enable a consistent runtime environment — taking advantage of Adobe® Flash® Player and, in the future, Adobe AIR™ — that will remove barriers for developers and designers as they publish content and applications across desktops and devices, including phones, mobile Internet devices (MIDs), and set top boxes.” It is supported by technology leaders, including Adobe, ARM, Chunghwa Telecom, Cisco, Intel, LG Electronics Inc., Marvell, Motorola, Nokia, NTT DoCoMo, Qualcomm, Samsung Electronics Co., Sony Ericsson, Toshiba and Verizon Wireless, and leading content providers, including BBC, MTV Networks, and NBC Universal. Some of the things this means: Removing restrictions on use of the SWF and FLV/F4V specifications Publishing the device porting layer APIs for Adobe Flash Player Publishing the Adobe Flash® Cast™ protocol and the AMF protocol for robust data services Removing licensing fees - making next major releases of Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR for devices free

Complements Adobe 6 Review: Elements Cameraphones
Elements 6 is a full featured program geared more towards users who wouldn’t be considered novices nor experts by any means. I know it’s a bit off topic, but I recently purchased Adobe’s new Elements for my Mac. The I chose to use a filter called “Bas Relief” to make it look like the following: … or how about a different look? Final Thoughts My advice is to purchase the program and start experimenting with the different edit options. I went with the box rout since It would’ve taken a tad bit longer over the interweb. Anyway, the box itself is minimal. Unless you’re a professional photographer and who is dependent on great photos in order to eat, this is a solid program for you. Sample Edits Here is the welcome screen where you have the option to choose where you can import pictures from. Here is a simple photo I took of Mark the other day. Well, I decided to show a simple little edit that will turn Mark’s boring background into a more interesting white and black-distorted background. A quick little 2 minute edit using the Quick Selection Tool to isolate his background. However, I think a review is appropriate. It is a great complement to your Nseries cameraphones.

Beacon with Nokia N95 8GB and Sports Tracker Even though it just came out, there are some web guides out there. It costs around $99 to purchase, but I think it’s worth it. Please believe that when I say it’s worth every penny, IT IS. As usual, Adobe packs in a ton of features in it’s software but they never provide the customer with an appropriate manual. Possessing a cameraphone like the Nokia N95 or the Nokia N82 that can take 5 megapixel pictures and not having a decent program to correct some of the “faults”, either by the user, phone, or situation, is unacceptable. Why shoot pictures without being able to make them even more beautiful? In my case, it’s not a problem, I love exploring. Many people think that this is just a watered down version of CS3. Sooner or later, you’ll get used to it. I myself had the beta version of CS3 and it was a tad bit much to my liking. Well, if that was your opinion, you’d be wrong.

Well, have you ever wondered what the speed of dark is? Well, I’ve actually got the speed for you, and believe it or not, it was captured with my Nokia N95-NAM! My friends and family have become more wary when I’m around, due to the fact that I always have my little friend to record any insanity at any moment. Probably not, it’s not the most common thing to pop into one’s head. And no, he wasn’t offended nor saddened by my little tasteless joke. He’s always claiming that he’s a tad bit darker than us so I took the shot while I could. You can never underestimate the power of the Nokia N95 (any variation).

All the photos were tagged with the current GPS location. Take a look at the photos below and Flickr will show you the location in the photo’s exif data. My boots were too heavy and it tired me out right after we started. Recording Hike With Sports Tracker The hike was recorded with GPS data using Nokia Sports Tracker. If you would like to know how to do this on your blog, read my guides on embedding geotagged photos and embedding sports tracker data to your blog. It’s good to know that I was able to do all of this at the same time using a device that I carry around every day: my mobile phone. Streaming live videos during a hike with the Nokia N82 in the United States will be useless. The next hike for next Sunday is at Popolopen Gorge with the distance of 5 miles and 1,000 feet vertical rise. May not be visible in RSS readers. Streaming Live With Qik I was also streaming live videos using Qik, but decided only to do it in safer trails because I did not want to get hurt if I lost my footing and needed to hold on to something.

For the next hike, I need to bring better shoes. I have the Nokia N95 NAM with me to record the hike, stream live videos, and take geotagged pictures. The first hike was in Castle Rock Unique Area in Philipstown, NY, which is about an hour and a half north of New York City. The introductory hike was 2 miles with a vertical height of 700 feet. I know the Nokia N82 was marketed for this kind of usage, but any phone running S60 3rd edition is capable. Below is a map of the hike showing geotagged photos right on the map. I’m currently taking a hiking class and will be hiking every Sunday until May. I don’t want to get too technical with this post so head over to S60 to learn more about it. On the upcoming Nseries phones, this will be done automatically without installing another program! Thoughts I was able to record my hike’s path, take GPS-tagged photos, and stream live videos to the internet. Subscribe to the Nokia blog feed to watch my progress.

Currently, Sports Tracker users cannot have embeddable codes to show off their maps on blogs. Import the KML file you downloaded in Step 3. I also select satellite view because think it looks cooler. You also need accounts over at Sports Tracker for the routing data and Google for the embeddable map code. Instructions Step 1. Use Sports Tracker on your phone to record your location data. What’s cool about this is that readers can zoom in, out and move the map within the blog post. View Larger Map Need more instructions? As you make adjustments, the html code automatically changes. Step 7. When you are done with the adjustments, just copy and paste the HTML code to your blog post. Now go make Stavros jealous by creating your own position art masterpiece then sharing it on your blog! Here’s an my attempt I was in Mexico. I usually reframe the map so the path is centered, then change the size to fit my blog’s width. The data will be uploaded to Sports Tracker online. Step 3. On the Sports Tracker website, the route will be displayed on a map.

In a nutshell, the tech will allow Flash Lite content to be encapsulated in Java ME applications; especially (or solely) the UI. Flash has been used widely in creating UI for quite some time, including console games, and whole mobile phone UI’s. Communication between Flash Lite and Java is bi-directional meaning that Flash Lite can send requests to and receive events from Java. Capuchin sound like interesting opportunity, let’s see how things turn to. Now, what would be really interesting, would be a Flash Lite application (a wrapper, really) that could encapsulate J2ME content - astonish us Via Alessandro, more details about Capuchin: “Project Capuchin is a Java ME API which makes it possible for Java to run a Flash Lite content file (*.swf) that is shown on the display. Communication between Flash Lite and JSRs are handled through an intermediate class that works as a translator. key events) are forwarded from Java to Flash Lite and the Flash Lite player has a choice of listening to these events. Sony Ericsson has created a tool that makes it possible to combine aspects of Java and Flash Lite in a single application. Requests send from Flash Lite are made in an asynchronous manner.” In case Flash Lite wants to access some information then it is done through Java. The tech is called Capuchin, and it is supposed to be available in the second half of this year (well, not that long time .

Menu Tabs How S60 Web Using Browsing Nokia’s Ovi To: Multiple Multimedia
This tip should also work with other Nseries phones featuring the new multimedia menu; the Nokia N81 and Nokia N82. Intro There is no documented button or option that lets us open new windows or tabs on the S60 browser. That’s basically it. I discovered while playing with the multimedia menu on the Nokia N95 8GB that it opens links as new tabs on the web browser. However, the internet tile of the multimedia menu lists your bookmarks and opens the link as a new tab instead of changing the main window.

The first hike was in Castle Rock Unique Area in Philipstown, NY, which is about an hour and a half north of New York City. The introductory hike was 2 miles with a vertical height of 700 feet.

I know the Nokia N82 was marketed for this kind of usage, but any phone running S60 3rd edition is capable. It’s good to know that I was able to do all of this at the same time using a device that I carry around every day: my mobile phone. My boots were too heavy and it tired me out right after we started. Recording Hike With Sports Tracker The hike was recorded with GPS data using Nokia Sports Tracker. All the photos were tagged with the current GPS location. You can also change views or zoom in. May not be visible in RSS readers. Streaming Live With Qik I was also streaming live videos using Qik, but decided only to do it in safer trails because I did not want to get hurt if I lost my footing and needed to hold on to something. I don’t want to get too technical with this post so head over to S60 to learn more about it. Take a look at the photos below and Flickr will show you the location in the photo’s exif data. I’m currently taking a hiking class and will be hiking every Sunday until May. Below is a map of the hike showing geotagged photos right on the map.

J2ME, Ericsson Sony with cross-breed Flash Lite
Communication between Flash Lite and JSRs are handled through an intermediate class that works as a translator. In case Flash Lite wants to access some information then it is done through Java. This class listens to Flash Lite requests, transfers these to JSR calls, and sends response back to Flash Lite. Sony Ericsson has created a tool that makes it possible to combine aspects of Java and Flash Lite in a single application. In a nutshell, the tech will allow Flash Lite content to be encapsulated in Java ME applications; especially (or solely) the UI.
