Adobe announced the Adobe Open Screen Project which is dedicated to ensuring a consistent rich Internet experience across a broad range of digital screens and form factors including mobile phones, consumer electronics, televisions and personal computers. This experience will be driven by Adobe Flash Player and in the future Adobe AIR and is meant to ensure that designers and developers can focus on the consumer experience and know there efforts will scale across different platforms and screens. Simply put the mission of the Open Screen Project is meant to enable a consistent runtime environment for designers and developers across desktops and devices.

We are once again proud to be mentioned as a “Success Story” by Forum Nokia and featured on Nokia Enablers and Infrastructure web page!

How cool would it be if developers and designers could create great-looking S60 applications without any special technical knowledge? Creating mobile applications for S60 devices generally requires knowledge of Symbian OS, the platform’s underlying operating system, and the C++ programming language. However, simplicity is the promise of Kuneri Ltd.’s KuneriLite, a rapid application development toolkit that lets users create S60 applications on a PC using only Flash Lite from Adobe. “There is no need to know anything about Symbian OS, since the developer never touches any Symbian code,” says Ugur Kaner, CEO and co-founder of Kuneri Ltd.

Today, we are proud to announce the availability of KISS60 Beta 0.9! We have been working hard to make it exceptionally good looking, highly functional and pleasant to use. New version of KISS60 is one of the best examples, exposing the potential of our innovative platform KuneriLite and demonstrating the next generation S60 User Experience. Now you can enjoy Flash Lite screensavers on your S60 device even more and easily manage them using our software.

KISS60 is also a great potential for content aggregators, advertisers and screensaver developers. It enables Flash Lite content on 20% more devices, increasing content availability and boosting revenues. KISS60 has a very flexible content download system, that can be integrated into any kind of payment system or distribution channel. Furthermore, availability of many free screensavers makes it a very powerful advertising platform.

Some feature highlights;

- Interactive S60 UI with Flash Lite
- Enable Flash Lite screensavers on your S60 phone
- Easily manage your screensavers
- Simply download free screensavers from free KISS60 gallery
- Share KISS60 and your screensavers with other S60 and Series 40 phones

Guys behind Joiku, our distribution and promotional partner, have done a great job and brought a new innovation to S60 world. Meet JoikuSpot; a free, instant and easy way to turn your S60 smartphone into a portable Wi-Fi router!

JoikuSpot is a free mobile software solution that turns Nokia Smartphones to WLAN HotSpots.

JoikuSpot software is installed directly to the phone. When switched on, laptops and ipods can establish instant and fast wireless internet connection via smartphone’s JoikuSpot access point using phone’s own 3G internet connection.

Multiple devices can connect to JoikuSpot in parallel and seamlessly share the same 3G internet connection. JoikuSpot acts thus as an internet gateway to external WLAN devices.

Forum Nokia has launched a new competition for S60 developers. There will be a new programming challenge on a monthly basis and best solutions will be awarded:

Problem for January

S60 supports multiple different runtimes and programming languages. The aim of this month’s competition is to come up with a way to combine different runtimes.

We are asking you to design and implement a framework that unifies S60 runtimes. The goal is intercommunication of runtimes (for example Symbian C++, Java, Flash, Python, Web Runtimes, you name it). With this kind of runtime interaction it is possible to access new features and re-use existing solutions in a manner that is unheard of. Provide us with your framework implementation and also at least one working example of runtimes interworking. If you don’t have time to implement all the necessary parts - let us know your ideas and planned design to score more points in the contest.

The January’s competition is open until 15th of February (15.2.2008) and we hope to have the best solutions published by the end of February.

..

Some shameless promotion of our products here:

About frameworks, KuneriLite framework which unifies pure Symbian C++ and Flash Lite, is based on HTTP protocol, giving unlimited access from Flash Lite to S60 features with simple API.
Developer is able to create real S60 application, using powers of Flash Lite in UI development and utilize smartphone features, without thinking of implementatation for platform, in this case for Symbian OS.

When developing on top of KuneriLite framework, it is possible to create hybrid application mixing Flash Lite, Symbian C++ and even Open C runtime modules!

Porting existing C-implementation to S60 environment is dramatically faster, than creating complete Symbian version..

HTTP protocol allows to spread the development to different areas, like using J2ME for development, but there the functionality is limited and access to S60 features is pretty constrained.

We are publishing new release soon with new features!

Flash Lite and Java (JAR) packaging method made available by Felipe Andrade  and Alessandro Pace!

With Jarpa, installable Flash Lite content can finally be delivered on different platforms!

Jarpa is a free of charge software solution under terms of Apache Software License.

Its also an open-source project, they are looking for contributors to join!

Awesome!! Great work guys. We wish you luck :)

Wow, we are amazed by the interest you show to KISS60, thanks! It’s been just 2 days since the beta release, but KISS60 is downloaded by many and we got many great comments! Also KISS60 has been on great blogs like Symbian Freak , IntoMobile and biskero, which gave us a great pleasure. Thank you all Flash Lite and S60 lovers!
