Flash Lite powers Half a Billion phones
Written by Meraj Chhaya on March 18, 2008 – 3:04 pm
Adobe announced yesterday that its Flash Lite software was now included in more than 500 million mobile phones across the globe.
The software that powers many such as YouTube and many other special animations and transitions is derived from Flash on computer web browsers, as well as offline applications.
Microsoft has also announced that it will use Flash Lite on its Windows Mobile Operating System, a step needed in order to keep competing against upcoming platforms that possess Touch UI or any flash interface like the one we see in Apple iPhones.
“With over half a billion devices now running Flash Lite we’re extending the reach of high impact web experiences to our connected mobile world,” said Al Ramadan, senior vice president, Mobile and Devices at Adobe. “With Microsoft, the latest addition to our list of mobile partners, Flash technology’s footprint continues to expand, promising more opportunities for Flash developers and more great content for mobile consumers around the world.”

Microsoft Silverlight joins Nokia, programmers rejoice
Written by Meraj Chhaya on March 4, 2008 – 3:43 pm
Cross-platform development is a dream for many software companies and developers themselves, the issue of having to always do something different everytime you release a program. Obviously many of the Operating Systems are different, but Microsoft Silverlight somehow helps to shorten that difference.
Silverlight won’t just run on Symbian, but as well as S40, the platform for the users who want advanced features, but simplicity at the same time.
For those who didn’t know, Wikipedia tells you exactly what Silverlight is all about: Microsoft Silverlight is a browser plugin that allows web applications to be developed with features like animation, vector graphics, and audio-video playback - features that characterize a rich internet application. Silverlight competes with products such as Adobe Flash, Adobe Flex, Adobe Shockwave, Java FX, and Apple QuickTime. Version 2.0 brought improved interactivity and allows developers to use .NET languages and development tools when authoring Silverlight applications.
