Flash Lite Applications: Kero Mobile and KiTwitts, major development differences!

Sat, 06 Jun 2009 17:51:50 +0300

Just wanted to share some Flash Lite projects: Kero Mobile and KiTwitts

Here some consideration. Kero Mobile supports more then 45 Nokia S60 devices with Flash Lite 3.0 and Flash Lite 2.0. The difference to make it work on both versions was just a re-publishing (re-compiling) for the different Flash Lite version, nothing more. KiTwitts supports all Nokia S60 devices with Flash Lite 3.0 and Flash Lite 2.0 and it is developed for 3 different screen resolutions so I have created 3 different versions. I could create only one version and have the application adapting to the screen sizes. I would need to re-publishing (re-compiling) since the application supports both Flash Lite versions. I decided to create 3 versions since the application is very simple and it did not take much time. There were also some consideration for the touch version for the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic/N97 to take into account. In any case there are some major differences between the two applications. Kero Mobile is an application/platform and have a lot of planning, designing and developing behind while KiTwitts is a standalone application which took few hours to create and couple hours to do the porting to touch devices.

Another key parts of these application is the use of mobile advertizing withing the application itself based on keywords, device and location. I think is the first time is been used in Flash Lite. It's going to be interesting to see the statistics in some time.

You can download Kero Mobile directly to your phone from www.biskero.mobi

KiTwitts allows your to search for twitts on Twitter using keywords.

KiTwitts is available for download from GetJar for Nokia S60 3rd Edition, E71/E63 and Nokia 5800 XpressMusic/N97.
