Video in Flashlite

YouTube was a massive success, I guess it doesn’t take a genius to think that there are many companies trying to get the same success on the mobile and I actually think that on the mobile it would be an even bigger success, especially once every mobile will be able to upload video files.

Well, while we wait for all the mobile browsers to reach that point (and some are already capable of this!), it’s probably good to get started with Flashlite. Here’s a free seminar that will be available online, only on 18 September 2007.

Embedding Video and Sound in Flash Lite

Slave of the globalization

August the 6th was a bank holiday in Ireland, since I was in Milan, I worked.
August the 15th was national holiday in Italy, since I was in Dublin, I worked.

The result is that I have basically lost 1 day of holiday.

I am a slave of the globalization, I move from one country to another and skip holidays. 😉

Mobile Web Book

After 10 months of work, a lot of research, a lot of testing, Cameron Moll‘s book is eventually almost ready to go live.

I’m happy to report the announcement from Cameron’s site. The book is really worth reading. The target audience is very wide, all those who are wondering if they should start building contents for mobile or who have started recently.
The book is full of good links, references and suggestions. I think the real value of this book is that it explains very simply what are the problems you might face, some of the solutions and how to get things to work.

Worth the money it costs.

RrankK

Thanks to Sid for pointing me in the direction of RrankK.

He kindly created a new poll just for me and of course that was about mobile devices. You can see it on the sidebar of my blog (so if you’re using the RSS reader I suspect you’ll have to click to see it).

Make sure you cast your vote, we haven’t added all vendors, but you can easily add more.

UPDATE: I removed the links from the sidebar and added within the post. If you don’t see anymore, it means the poll has been deleted from rrankk. 😦

Calling the mobile old-school!

If you were there in the early days of WAP and miss the initial experiences of WAP 1 development, you probably need a doctor. If the doctor can’t do anything, you have a chance to expose all your feelings to the community and get a nice post by James.

So make sure you take out all your inner feelings about WAP 1, why you loved it and why you miss it, answer the call: Calling the mobile old-school!
