KISS60^TM enables Adobe® Flash® Lite^TM screensavers on a wider set of devices, offering more effective promotions for campaign managers and higher revenues for content developers and distributors.

October 24, 2007

Oulu, Finland – Kuneri, innovative mobile design and development company based in Finland, today unveiled public beta release of their new product KISS60^TM. KISS60^TM is a unique product, enabling users to collect, manage, share and enjoy Adobe® Flash® Lite^TM screensavers on S60 based mobile devices.

“There are 50 million Flash Lite enabled S60 devices, but most of them can not utilize Flash Lite screensavers although they have the capability; that’s a large potential loss” says Ugur Kaner, CEO of Kuneri. “Flash Lite offers a better user experience than traditional screensavers, we believe there is a good market potential. We aim to help mobile campaign managers and Flash Lite content developers and distributors to benefit this potential by utilizing KISS60.”

“We use mobile screensavers to promote International Mobile Gaming Awards and KISS60 helps us to reach more people; clearly adding value to our promotions” says Jessica Rei, PR Manager of IMGA. “KISS60 is not only a great tool, but also a very handy widget to use in daily life, we absolutely enjoy it” she continues.

KISS60^TM is an S60 application created using KuneriLite^TM Rapid Application Development toolkit for Adobe® Flash® Lite^TM, and works on all S60 3^rd edition and newer Nokia devices. KISS60^TM has a very user friendly and simple interface, allowing users to create their own screensaver collections, download new screensavers easily and share using SMS or Bluetooth®. KISS60^TM is free of charge and can be downloaded from www.KISS60.com . IMGA screensavers are also available on KISS60^TM website and www.imgawards.com .

Create any cool experiment, site, application, and/or mashup that uses SWX RPC, either with SWX PHP or without writing any server-side code at all by using the SWX APIs on the Public SWX Gateway. You can choose to use the SWX ActionScript Library (recommended) or go native with loadMovie()!

All entries must play back in the Flash Player (SWX RPC is supported on Flash Player 6 and above, and Flash Lite 2.x). You cannot use SWX RPC with ActionScript 3/Flash 9/Flex 2 projects at the moment (a version for AVM2 is in the works.)

According to Apple’s press release, YouTube will be available on iPhone on 29th June. YouTube will not be fully supported on iPhone, but will only play H.264 encoded movie clips (not Flash obviously) .

To achieve higher video quality and longer battery life on mobile devices, YouTube has begun encoding their videos in the advanced H.264 format, and iPhone will be the first mobile device to use the H.264-encoded videos. Over 10,000 videos will be available on June 29, and YouTube will be adding more each week until their full catalog of videos is available in the H.264 format this fall.

I am already following Crestock to get my free image everyday. It’s always good to keep some licensed images under your belt. I figured out there are also some really nice wallpapers given away free on there. Don’t miss, just grab them.

Happy Sunday news from Jukka from S60 Multimedia blog; apparently YouTube Mobile is live! Only thing you need is a handset that supports streaming video (RTSP/3GP with H263/AMR) and a unlimited data plan or WLAN.

Site warns you about data traffic and recommends an unlimited data plan.

My first trial was not very successful, due my lovely E61 didn’t let me to use WLAN in Offline mode. Another attempt also was defeated, telling me that I do not have enough bandwidth. I don’t know what happened (most probably E61 didn’t like the first video I chose) but my third trial worked on Free Hugs champaign. It feels cool:)

A recent acquisition; On2 acquires Hantro. Ok, you are wondering why I post this as a news; 2 good reasons:

1) Hantro is a Finnish company based in Oulu. ( See where is Kuneri located )

2) On2 is a company that powers VP6 codec that is leveraged in Flash video. Hantro specializes in video for mobile. Which looks like On2 is on something about Flash Lite video.

See the press release and post for more detailed information about the acquisition.
