The graphic with the devices shows mippin.com being rendered on them. A mobile 2.0 web app for all mobile browsers. From a company who did Flash-Lite and J2me for the last 3 years. Can't wait until we get full Flash as a plugin for all major mobile browser vendors. That would rock! David Hi guys,

its kind of funny. The graphic with the devices shows mippin.com being rendered on them. A mobile 2.0 web app for all mobile browsers.

From a company who did Flash-Lite and J2me for the last 3 years.

Can’t wait until we get full Flash as a plugin for all major mobile browser vendors. That would rock!

However if you look at platforms like NGage etc it is clear that there are exceptions. Some operators are beginning to wake up to the fact that their requirements are too high. If they want to remain competitive with so many internet service providers reaching into mobile then things need to change. I still believe that 'services' for games with a social backend are an opportunity. Sharing of games and usage across screens is a strong point for Flash and I believe that Flash developers have a clear shot at it. If you are a mobile developer then this means diversifying toward the desktop. Mark Hey Paul,

This is totally ridiculous of course, but its the reality. And even if we did have 75-80% for Flash Lite, game developers would still have to compete with the vast amount of branded games out there that get top placement just because of the brand recognition. 1 in a million shots like Tetris dont come round that often! You just need to look at the top 10 charts for game downloads in the UK to see that the majority of them are branded. It a frustrating business! Hi Mark,
