BSquare announces FL on Android

I missed this one : following HTC Hero's support to Flash Lite, Bsquare announced they have successfully ported Flash Lite to Android, throught a web plugin.

This follows their previous announcement on March.

Flash lite on linux ?

Since I just discovered the Azingo phone, I made some research on Flash Lite from Linux based devices...
Please note these devices uses or can play Flash Lite. I'm not sure how and what for (ie UI, browser, standalone, widget ?)

For mobile, I so found
- Azingo
- QTopia based devices, using FLite player port from Calsoft Labs (see below)
- Linux 2.4 based devices, using FLite player port from BSquare

I thought the ALP based devices will add Flash Lite support too, since they used NetFront browser but I can't find any information..


For others devices, I found
- Chumby (Chumby Power!!!)
- SysGo
- QNX (Flash Lite 3.1.7)
- BSquare
- Calsoft Labs


I also found the Freescale optimized chip for Linux based device which will compet with ARM, Adobe partner ?

Azingo & Vodafone

It's not a "fresh" news but I was reading some stuff about LiMo and discovered the Azingo phone.

Something between Android (for its SDK) and the iPhone (for the UI), the phone includes Flash Lite 3.1 support (on a linux platform!)

From their news, I learnt they made a contract with Vodaphone to distribute their phone. Also note their partnership with Adobe.

Nec's Flash Lite player

From EETimes.com, Nec has developed a Flash Lite player alternative.
Perhaps another project borns from Adobe Open Screen ? I don't think so, it seems too much finalized for me...I doubt they made it in 1 month.

We'll see in august.

BlueStreak on Open Screen Project

Bluestreak, one of the two compagnies I tried to work with last year, see the Open Screen Project like a great opportunity

It will propel the development of Flash content for mobile devices

I really need to find a phone with their MachBlue Mobile platform.
It's an alternative to Flash Lite for Symbian S60, Windows Mobile 5/6, Linux, Brew and Java.
