At MAX there was a lot of discussion of Flash Lite for cell phones. Carriers in Europe and Asia are starting to release phones with Flash Lite pre-installed and it uses a Flash/Web services type of connectivity to minimize the amount of data that needs to go back and forth while still providing a rich user interface. That seems to be the future if more carriers pick up on the idea and manufacturers send phones preloaded with Flash Lite. I know that's macromedia's goal, so I guess it depends on if the manufacturers and carriers sign on. I'm not sure if that would be a solution for the type of app you're trying to develop. If it's completely custom I know my phone uses Java and the apps that I've seen for it (games, etc) are built using Java. I have Sprint and I'm in the US. Anyway, I hope that helps.

I'm not sure if there is a standard "OS" or language (I've seen Java mentioned) for all phones...or all phones from one manufacturer....are APIs available? So basically any info on getting started with app dev for phones would be great...links...genberal knowledge dump...whatever ;-) TIA Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
