On August 28th there will be a new eSeminar from Adobe, topic for this eSeminar is Flash Lite + Java ME, Project Capuchin.

"Attend this complimentary seminar and discover how to develop intelligent applications with Adobe Flash Lite based, rich user experience interfaces. Sony Ericsson experts will guide you through this exciting mobile project by providing a step-by-step demonstration for creating innovative content, and utilizing the development tools and components needed to immediately create your own fun,unique applications"

This is an interesting new project, integrating Flash Lite with Java ME. It would be great to see these capabilities extended to Nokia devices too. The idea is not new since last year Felipe and myself discuss the integration of Flash Lite and Java ME maily for installation purpose for Flash Lite content and the Jarpa open source project started.
