Adobe Systems Incorporated have launched their new Flash Mobile Gallery Website. Adobe have specifically hand-picked a comprehensive range of mobile content to showcase the very best rich mobile applications that can be developed in Flash.

Flash for mobile, allows developers the ability to create next generation content for mobile phones that can enable new levels of interactive intelligent experiences for the end users – far beyond that of previous TXT-Messaging mobile service applications. Zodal’s RugbyMate application, developed in Flash for Series 60 handsets and also for the Apple iPhone, is featured as one of the top international applications that were selected to be part of the Adobe mobile gallery.

RugbyMate is a real time mobile data application developed by Zodal for the Rugby World Cup 2007 in Paris. Users could easily click through the application on their mobile phone, to keep track of all the teams, scores and game times during the pool competitions and finals, all through a well designed, appropriately branded, user friendly interface application. RugbyMate uses Zodal’s “EventPro” mobile technology server modules written in JAVA and Ruby to enable the back-end real time services for the application, so the system can be re-used for any major sporting event.

iPhone and connect to the web on my phone

The iPhone has gone on sale in the USA with AT&T as the exclusive mobile operator.
Bill Perry, who manages global developer relations for mobile and devices at Adobe along with plenty of others waited in line for over nine hours to get their hands on the new fabled gadget from Apple.

Alasta at Geekzone believes Vodafone New Zealand will probably never carry the iPhone. However he does mention that in the far-off future, Telecom maybe able to support a UMTS revision of the iPhone, once they get their newly proposed UMTS network operational.

Daryl at Kiwiscanfly posted that Apple is in talks with Vodafone Europe – so then maybe Vodafone NZ will distribute the iPhone eventually.

The iPhone, promoted as one of the best user experiences for accessing the internet via a mobile device, has plenty of features such as widgets for accessing YouTube, however the Safari Browser on the new phone does not display any Adobe Flash content.
This is obviously going to cause huge issues; 1. with developers of internet content and; 2. with the public wishing to access rich web based content from their new iPhones.

Bill Perry writes a very interesting iPhone first-look review at what users can expect when they try to access the large amount of Flash content currently available all over the internet.
