Adobe mobile resources

Device Central Preview

Adobe’s Mobile and Devices Developer Center contains resources for Flash Lite and Device Central, and also features articles about the wider world of mobile development. If you purchased CS3 recently and wondered what use Device Central was, or want to get started with Flash Lite, this is probably a good place to start. Nokia also have Flash lite resources.

Device Central contains profiles for popular mobile devices, allowing you to check support for Flash, bitmap, video and web content. The “web” tab in particular is useful for mobile developers because it gives information on HTML, WML and XHTML version support.

Some popular devices are absent, for example iPhone, but Adobe publish device profile updates occasionally (which you have to register to download).

I’ve actually used Device Central to preview logos and other images used on my XHTML MP pages. Previewing logos straight from Illustrator on smaller screens (especially clamshell Nokias) helped me make some tough decisions, so it’s worth giving Device Central a go if you own CS3 and haven’t tried it yet.
