It appears that the decision is up to Palm (or whoever owns the Palm brand now) to agree on a license. Presumably the code for a Palm-based player is already written, as the Sony-licensed Palm clone had a Flash player installed on it. Much like Flash Lite, the player's written and it's now a matter of the hardware maker ponying up the license fees required to bundle the player with the device. --- John Hattan The Code Zone - Sweet Software for a Saturnine World www.thecodezone.com ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Does anybody know about any plans for Palm OS flash player?

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Lite 2.0 phone list
The majority of Non-Nokia devices listed are Japanese handsets with FL1.1 or FL1.0 preinstalled. - All the phones that could be supported using the current technology once distribution deals with the manufacturers are sorted out No - any phones there are because the deals have already been done - All the phones that the current player will run on once the current testing period is over. I assumed FL2.0 is final and only the IDE extension is pre-release software - All the phones that the Flash Lite 2.0 player could be ported to if someone pays Macrobe to do it. FL2.0 could be ported to literally any phone if someone pays :) Which of these applies will make a big difference to the speed of adoption - if the current player will be released for all these models in a few months then this could become quite big pretty quickly - otherwise its going to take a while. The issue currently is that is that although there is a long list of Nokias that FL will run on, will a player ever be distributed for those phones? The short answer is that unless the old MM policy has changed with Adobe - NO! Nokia will distribute the FL player in its emerging handsets, in fact it has already started in Asia with the N90, most probably worldwide with the N91 this month. But the older Nokia's will never get a FL player unless someone pays for it. IMHO this is a massive hit that only the developer community and consumers take, even if it does also have a slight impact on the growth of the FL content market which is still pretty immature outside Japan. The only situation where older Nokias will get FL2 is where a service provide/operator decides to license the player for its customers with existing Nokia handsets, however that is not necessarily a smooth process because each player is IMEI tied and therefore cumbersome to deliver OTA. Hope that helps a little. cheers Nick ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] Flash Lite 2.0 phone list
Well I've installed the Flash Lite 2.0 and one of the more interesting parts is the long list of possible "Test Devices". Now it shows you the Nokia ones which are on the website, but greyed out there are also about 15 different phone manufacturers and a long list of phones, including even some extra Nokia ones. Presumably this is a list of all the existing Symbian phones. Now as far as I can see this list could be - All the phones that could be supported using the current technology once distribution deals with the manufacturers are sorted out - All the phones that the current player will run on once the current testing period is over. - All the phones that the Flash Lite 2.0 player could be ported to if someone pays Macrobe to do it. Which of these applies will make a big difference to the speed of adoption - if the current player will be released for all these models in a few months then this could become quite big pretty quickly - otherwise its going to take a while. Can anyone shed any light on this? Cheers Joe ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
