Nokia Developers just went live with my interview about Nokia development, Flash Lite and 10x10 Mobile. Thanks to Alessandro for the opportunity! Take a look.
I just uploaded a video showing Live Prints in action on my Nexus One. Enjoy!
I'm excited to show you some screenshots of my latest personal project: Live Prints, an Android Live Wallpaper. Simply chose a predefined look (or combine different backgrounds and prints) and watch the prints walking around your home screen and interact with your taps, icons and widgets...
I'll release soon Live Prints on the Android Market, so stay tuned for more news!
Live Prints: "Magic Map".
Live Prints: "Lonely Coyote".
Live Prints: "Scary Handprints".
Giorgio, Alessandro and me worked toghether to bring new life and energy in one of the oldest community related to mobile in Italy (mobile.actionscript.it). The result is MobileRevamp.org.
The aim of this community is to share as much as possible information related to the mobile design and development using all the social networks and the new capabilities of the NET to make easier find updated contents and to create a deep feeling of connection between developers.
MobileRevamp.org is proudly part of the Adobe User Groups program and of the Java User Groups program. Follow us and partecipate to the discussion!
On the Android developers blog was published a really interesting article about best practices for UI features and behavior patterns used to design and implement Twitter for Android:
Along with our regular updates of the Android platform, we like to build example applications that showcase best practices for UI features and behavior patterns, to help our 3rd party developers create even richer applications.
For example, the Twitter for Android application that we worked with Twitter to design gives you, the 3rd party developer, a working example of how you can customize and build an application that’s both fun and highly functional. This blog post is meant to showcase these patterns along with some recommended implementations as you start to develop your applications around them.

(via Vivek) - Forum Nokia released a simple and useful AIR app to help mobile developers and designers to easily build mobile prototypes running on real devices: Flowella! With this tool you can have an interactive prototype without writing a single line of code, watch the video below:
Flowella is an easy to use tool that enables designers and developers to create design prototypes — without writing a line of code. Prototypes are built using images of screen mock-ups and defining links between the screens. This information is then used to create an Adobe Flash Lite 3.0 application or Web Runtime (WRT) widget. These applications can then be run on one of over seventy Nokia devices or in a simulator supplied with Flowella, enabling the application interaction to be assessed.
As mobile devices, platforms, and app stores proliferate, it's more important than ever to have the latest device information at your fingertips. Adobe Fireworks CS5 is integrated with Adobe Device Central CS5, enabling you to leverage handset data and work more productively from inception to final launch of your mobile project.
On the Adobe DevNet was recently published an interesting article (from Liz Myers) about how to harness the power of Fireworks combined with Device Central in "mobile" common workflows: Mobile workflows using Fireworks CS5 and Device Central CS5. Enjoy!
