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.

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.

Creating thrilling S60 applications made easy with KuneriLite^™ Rapid Application Development toolkit for Adobe® Flash® Lite™

Oulu, Finland – Kuneri, innovative mobile design and development company based in Finland, today unveiled public beta release of their anticipated product KuneriLite™. KuneriLite™ is the very first global product, offering developers to create S60 mobile applications faster, easier and cheaper, without any Symbian programming knowledge.

“We have been developing for S60 platform for a long time and see the potential of Flash Lite very clearly” says Ugur Kaner, CEO of the Finnish company. “We see a gap between strength and user experience in mobile development, and aim to help developers to close this gap by using our tool. We believe KuneriLite will be very popular among developers, as it is very easy to use and learn, and leads to impressing results; bringing imagination into concrete in shorter time. We believe that, because we are mobile developers ourselves and understand developers’ needs very well as insiders. We also had a long alpha testing period and feedback we received supports our belief.”

KuneriLite™ extends Adobe® Flash® Lite™ capabilities on S60 platform and is supported on all S60 3^rd edition and newer devices, covering increasing number of smartphones worldwide. There is a rich set of plug-ins available and also allows developers to develop their own plug-ins. KuneriLite™ comes with a very easy to use Wizard interface and guides developers to produce ready-to-install packages step by step. KuneriLite™ is completely invisible to end users and works out-of-the-box, not requiring any additional installations.

“We are proud to be a pioneer in global mobile development business.” says Kimmo Seppänen, Chief Marketing Officer of Kuneri. “We know that mobile content market is very tough. But we believe reduced development costs and time will help small enterprises to arise and provide a richer product set to end users. This definitely makes a difference.”

KuneriLite™ comes with 3 editions: Basic, Professional and Commercial. Basic edition is free to download and try. Professional edition meant for freeware productions, and also offered free of charge for non-commercial purposes.

I got a hint of a discussion in Symbian developers forum of improvements in Symbian application signing process.

They say that signing will cost aroung $20 per application with new Express Signing (Publisher ID from TC Trustcenter is required).

That is something. With much cheaper and faster process, I see this will encourage more developers to sign their applications and more frequently.

 3-Lib is now updated with latest devices and new HDSPA column. List is really useful for comparisons.

Samsung is coming with three new devices, in near future. There has been rumours in last weeks of Samsung i450, i550 and i570 and all claimed S60 devices based on Symbian 9.x OS. At least i450 seems having FL 2.0 player preinstalled!

When we are bringing two different development worlds together, Symbian OS+S60 and Flash Lite with KuneriLite, the easiness of application development is the key, or at least should.

KuneriLite is communicated externally (asynchronously) from Flash Lite, causing more need to control the logical states of application and need of more variables. For solving these technical situations, good debugger is a must. Without debugger, everything has to be tested on device, much like with blackbox approach: Flash Lite developer quite hardly can utilize device debugging print-outs (traces), (except with KuneriLite File), therefore Flash debugging is centralized in Macromedia development suite.

There is already built-in debugger with Macromedia Flash Studio, but it is not much help with KuneriLite.

But KuneriLite itself comes with S60 SDK emulator support, KuneriLite Emu, running on top of S60 SDK emulator.

Easiness is again the key, check out the picture. When “Peter: Hello Mate!” text is typed in text file, Flash Lite application receives it from KuneriLite (Connect), understanding it as a received text over Bluetooth and shows it on screen. This way most functionalities can be tested in emulator first.

We’ll bring the debugger support with next release of KuneriLite, which will be version 0.9.2.3. There will be more development supporting features also.

Gideon Multimedia launches innovative free mobile travel quide mobiEXPLORE Croatia. It is available for S60 (2nd and 3rd edition), Series40 and PocketPC devices.

I just installed it and liked it a lot! Very stylish and good design, must say.

Read complete press release of product launch here.

We have been using a new Symbian development tool, Y-Tasks lately a lot and we have been very happy to have it available!

Y-Tasks published some days ago with updated Y-Browser. Both made by SymbianYucca.

With Y-Browser you can access into phone’s filesystem, even hidden folder and files, which built-in Nokia File Manager cannot.

Y-Task provides tools for example tracking down exceptions caused by memory leaks, jamming threads or just by simple crashes (Daily life of Symbian developer..)

These excellent tools are available from here.
