The FlashCamp Italy is back and will take place friday, September 23 in Rimini. The cool news is that this year the main track will be put side by side with two vertical "unconferences" about:
- Mobile development with the Flash Platform
- Open Source: from "forma mentis" to "de iure condendo"
Confirmed speakers so far: Michael Labriola, James Ward, Justin MCLean, Michelle Yaiser, Christian Ferranti, Marco Fusetti (aka jaco@pixeldump), Giorgio Natili. I have to say this is going to be an awesome event! You can find more information and updates here (italian).

We, at Small Screen Desing, have just published a new awesome Live Wallpaper on the Android Market: Flick Ur Pics.
Flick Ur Pics is as simple as cool. It lets you show a distinct background image from your gallery for each home screen page! Just flick with your finger between home screens to see the wallpaper changing using all your gallery images. With few taps you can select a favorites list of images from the whole device library to be used as wallpaper.
You can choose between fade or slide animation type for the transitions, and how to display your pictures in every home screen selecting the fill mode you prefer (tile mode, stretch mode, fill mode). You can also enable automatic rotation between backgrounds with different timings.
