This year The Nokia Developer Summit and Nokia World will take place at ExCeL London, Sept 14-15. Nokia will run both events bringing together people from every part of the global mobile community for an even richer event, with insights into every aspect of the mobile industry.
This is a great opportunity for every mobile developer. I'll attend both events thanks to Forum Nokia! See you there.
(via Alessandro) - The Forum Nokia Online Flash Lite Packager is back LIVE! This is a great news for Flash mobile developers since it proves that Nokia's interest for Flash technologies is still high.
The Forum Nokia Online Flash Lite Packager provides Flash developers with a simple and convenient way to package Flash Lite applications into SIS files for installation on Nokia S60 devices. By packaging Flash Lite content in this way, the application is installed as though it is a native Symbian application. The user can then run the application from an icon in the device's Applications menu. In addition, the packager will sign the SIS file with a developer's Symbian Publisher ID. Such signed files can then be Express Signed and submitted for publication in Ovi Store.
For more information, please read the Forum Nokia Online Flash Lite Packager Guide.
Latest FMLs and Leonardo's Blog are two simple applications I created using the Ovi AppWizard service. You can download them for free from the OviStore. Check them out!
Thanks to Alessandro La Rosa we now have a nice video of 10x10 Mobile running on a real device:
Thank you Alessandro!
I'm happy to announce that 10x10 Mobile is finally available for download on OviStore and Getjar! Here's a quick video showing the app in action:
Download it NOW and share your comments!
(via MobileCrunch) - The first videos of Symbian 4 have just been released for public consumption:
And I must agree with the following comment:
The first videos of Symbian^4 have just been released for public consumption, and we can’t help but notice that they seem very.. uninspired. Actually, perhaps that’s inaccurate. They’re very inspired. Directly inspired. By the competition.
(via Forum Nokia Blogs) - Possibly the first ever 4x4x4 LEGO Rubik's Cube solver? This Rubik's Cube solver was designed and programmed using a Nokia N95 mobile phone, a LEGO Mindstorms NXT and lots of LEGO technic pieces!
Thanks to Ugur (Kuneri) and Riku Salminen (FN) we now have a great trick which enables us to use PNG images as Symbian application icon instead of SVG.
Basically after we convert the PNG image to base64 format from here, we just need to directly use the Base64 formatted text in an hand-made SVG file (SVG is basically text file) using the template text below to create our fresh icon (replace the text THE BASE64 ENCODED BITMAP GOES HERE with your copy pasted text):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" contentScriptType="text/ecmascript" zoomAndPan="magnify" baseProfile="tiny" contentStyleType="text/css" version="1.0" width="6.77196" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" viewBox="0 0 6.77196 6.85856" height="6.85856" fill-rule="evenodd"> <g><metadata/><g> <image x="-2.847" y="-3.71656" transform="matrix(1 0 0 1
2.847 3.71656)" width="6.77196" xlink:href="data:image/png;base64, THE BASE64 ENCODED BITMAP GOES HERE" xlink:type="simple" xlink:actuate="onLoad" height="6.85856" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" xlink:show="embed"/> </g></g></svg>
