Quick-update

You might wonder what happened to F60. Don't panic, it's still under development, however there were some technical problems. Our Flash CS5 (program used to create F60) crashed and deleted the homescreen flash file. Which means I can no longer work on the homescreen or make API calls to the homscreen.

What does this mean?
I have to rewrite the homescreen. It'll take a while, but it'll be back anytime soon. For now I decided to not put myself down by the loss of (an important) file. I'll continue developing the F60 project, I'll focus on the other applications first, when that's finished I'll rewrite the homescreen.

Greetings!

Private Beta testers, Sign up

Hello guys, the weekend is almost over. But I want to start a new week with another load of updates. Here's a round-up of what will be finished tomorrow.

• RSS widget
• Music widget
• Call log
• Calculator

Note: I'm looking for the very first beta testers. You will must be able to do the following things in order to beta test.

• I need to stay in touch with you to give instructions, listen to feedback. I'm using Google Talk to talk to developers/internet-buddies.
• You need to give constructive feedback, give the exact problem, and you'll try to help looking for a solution.
• You must have a basic knowledge of Flash (Lite) and it's capabilities. E.g: you should know running a 1080p video in Flash Lite is desperate.
• You must own a Nokia Symbian S60v5 device (touchscreen).
• It's an advantage if you've already used SPHERE before (proceeder of F60).

To sign up, post your name in the comments below and I'll contact you. Please post you're skills/experiences.

Talk to you soon!

Nokia 1.0 F60

Hello, all. I'm delighted to announce my newest Flash Lite project for Nokia smartphones. Today I've started working on a new "custom firmware" written in ActionScript and XML. It runs as a standalone swf file, and no flashing or hacking is needed.

We've created many of these shells before. Sphere OS, S4 Lite, etc. But this time we're going to take it more seriously. We'll try recreating Symbian OS v5 in Flash Lite a long with a bunch of new features Nokia doesn't offer. Our previous shells didn't provide enough functionality to replace the Symbian OS, but we hope F60 will be a break-thru.

Here are some of the special features you may expect:

• Smilies in SMS
• Better contacts
• Smoother UI animations
• Faster loading times

Meh.. This is my first post, but let's hope it won't be the last one. I'll try keeping this up to date whenever I worked on it.
