A couple of links of interest looking ahead to the future. Adobe has formally announced Flash Lite 3 which will be available first on NTT DoCoMo and Nokia phones. The new version includes support for Flash video (e.g. on YouTube), and Adobe says the aim is to more closely replicate the experience of Flash on the desktop. To go along with the announcement Forum Nokia launched a Creative Pros section to help desktop Flash developers port their content to mobile devices.
Seemingly more than a little after the fact, AAS regular Asri al-Baker has been consoling himself for not being able to make this month's pub meet and London Smartphone Show by reminiscing about his trip to the UK for the two events in 2004. Some nice photos and kind words!
If you love (like I do) live blogging from interesting events, keep an eye on Jay's My Nokia Blog this evening while he and other uber-bloggers party along with Nokia and WOM World. Bound to be some interesting photos and gossip...
The launch of Nokia's new marketing campaign for the likes of the US-spec N95, "Open to", is also made notable by the availability for sale in consumer electronics shops (well spotted Stefan), independent phone shops and chains (in addition to Nokia's own flagship stores). So far only stores in New York and San Francisco are listed, but you can bet this list will expand...
Kudos to Darla Mack for scoring a prototype N95-3, the official USA model with 80MB free RAM and beefed up 1200mAh battery. More editorial to follow from Darla, no doubt.
You'll have heard of WOM World for the innovative ways they spread news and opinions of Nokia Nseries smartphones. But did you know they've got a Flickr stream? Start here, with their current coverage of Tropfest in the USA and work back to see how many famous bloggers and err.... shady AAS staffers you can spot!
