Forum Nokia Creative Pro webinars

Published by at

Forum Nokia, under its Creative Pro brand, are running a series of webinars over the next few days focusing on Flash Lite (first on content and services, second on video capabilities) and Mobile Advertising. This is an area I expect to see a lot of growth in during 2008 and if you are a developer looking for an introduction to these topics the webinars are a good place to start.

From Forum Nokia:

Generating Revenue with Flash Content and Services, James Spahn, Vice President of Business Development Cell Company Ltd.
December 13, 2007, 12PM London, 2 PM Helsinki, 9 PM Tokyo
More than one billion Flash-enabled mobile devices are expected to be on the market by 2010. The widespread availability of Flash Lite will let consumers enjoy a rich media experience and new types of applications and content. This webinar will explore the market possibilities of Flash-enabled content and the financial opportunities available to application developers, media companies and content owners. We’ll explore the various models of mobile content delivery from downloads, and network services, to mobile commerce.


Mobile Advertising – The Next Frontier, Floris van de Klashorst, Director, Head of Publisher Network, Nokia Advertisement Business
December 14, 2007, 4 PM London, 6 PM Helsinki, 11 AM New York, 8 AM San Francisco

Mobile advertising is a nascent business that promised to have a global impact on the media business, mobility and consumer empowerment. It holds tremendous promise for changing the way consumers receive content and how companies market their products and services. Billions of dollars have been spent on mobile advertising the past few years.  Some say that’s only the tip of the iceberg. In this webinar, we’ll examine the opportunities and challenges. We’ll look at the most promising business and revenue models for advertisers, media companies, content owners and application developers.

The eSeminar will instruct developers how to integrate video into mobile applications using Adobe Flash Lite. A comparison of the capabilities offered in Flash Lite 2 and 3 will be examined to demonstrate with particular focus on the richness of the new video features offered in the latest release of Flash Lite. This session will include a short introduction to implementing video on mobile devices and will provide coding examples of video streaming in Flash Lite 2.x and 3.0.
