Adobe Community Experts has a new name: Adobe Community Professionals. Those who has accepted to ACP members for 2010 are listed in Liz's Blog. This will be interesting year with Flash and Mobile. New Flash CS5 is coming with iPhone support, many interesting devices is out there like Nokia N900, Hero and so on which supports Flash in browser. Like you may know I have been focused to creating standalone Flash Lite applications but I will put more effort to test Flash applications in mobile web pages and of course in iPhone.
There are really nice video tutorial in gotoandlearn.com which shows how easy it will be to use Flash CS5 to compile your Flash applications into native iPhone applications. Tutorial length is about 15 minutes and it shows whole process from starting iPhone application profile to testing content in real iPhone device.

It seems that Flash Lite 3.x isn't the last version of Flash Lite Player history (like many of us believed). New Flash Lite 4.0 supports AS 3 (finally) and is available for browser plugin (and standalone in brew). Simultaneously Adobe is working Flash 10 for more powerful devices and Adobe AIR is coming to mobile also - interesting, interesting - hope they have more news in Adobe MAX 2009.

TeamTool - Loading
Registered users can send messages to team members and add landmarks to TeamTool server. Landmarks are one of the biggest features in TeamTool. User can write text, take picture, record audio and take video (or select earlier taken materials from phone - TeamTool materials), and set all of these media to landmark with GPS information. Created landmark can be send to TeamTool server and it is available to all TeamTool members. Members and landmarks are sorted with distance data, so user can easily see which team members or stored landmarks are the nearest to users current location.
TeamTool - Menu
TeamTool is designed to run in mobile phones which has 640x360 display and Flash Lite 3.1 Player or newer installed.
