        Today, Adobe skips all licensing fees for devices and opens up the SWF and FLV specs for anyone to create devices supporting Flash. According to Dave McAllister of Adobe, the goal is to create a consistent experience across all devices and they're not afraid this will cause player fragmentation.

        SonyEricsson has lagged behind other phone vendors in terms of Flash support, but today they announced 'Project Capuchin' - a plan to Flash-enable most of their phones. By creating a bridge between Flash and the Java based phone API, Flash developers should be able to access all the phone features including bluetooth, motion sensors, payment and more using a new SWF2JAR packaging tool.

        This is a review that is kind of odd to write. I've been using Flex Builder 3 for such a long time that I'm now having a hard time remembering how Flex Builder 2 was.  It's strange how public betas and the new open policy at Adobe changed this. The Flex 3 release offers nothing new in terms of Flash Player features but the new IDE, an expanded SDK and authoring for the AIR runtime is definitely worth the upgrade.

        Have you seen the PicLens browser plugin? It takes browsing images to a brand new level and now you can do this easily in Flash as well. It's been a while since we've checked out component vendor Flashloaded. Their 3D wall component for Flash is a seriously cool way to browse and display images.
