IPHONE DOES FLASH

IPHONE TO GET FLASH SOON?:

As a very keen developer of Internet content using Adobe Flash I am very interested to hear that the Flash mafia roomer mill has been going into over drive over the last couple of months due to stories coming out of Adobe, the developers of Flash, that they are developing a Flash player for the Apple Iphone.

Apparently the reason for there not being a Flash player at the moment is that Steve Jobs of Apple thinks that the Apple Flash Player lite is a little under powered for the IPhone and that the standard player is a to clunky. Adobe have told us that they have a player in development and it could be rolled out very quickly as and when Apple give the nod.

The general consensus is that it may well be ready and included in the next generation of Iphones as and when they are released.

MICROSOFT DOES IPHONE:


Dominic Yeadon, a good friend and work colleague sent me a link to this excellent YouTube video, while he was going to see a client on the train and wanting to seem more busy to his fellow commuters. Have a look, it's really funny and well spotted Dom.

MICROSOFT DOES THE IPOD BOX:


While we are giving Microsoft an undeserved kicking, Dominic also sent me this link of a Microsoft treatment of the classic Ipod packaging. I found this particulary amusing as I have I client doing exactly this to one of my designs right now. What can I say but "It's the clients choice".

DESHOK FLASH WEBSITE OF THE WEEK:

VAJA REAL LEATHER PRODUCTS


COMPANY:
Vaja Real Leather Products

DESCRIPTION:
This time we look at an absolutely excellent flash driven site for Vaja cases.
Deshok.com has been using Adobe Flash technology to design websites for 8 years but the skill of development employed here is not only astounding but quite good fun to.

I'm going to get an Apple Iphone in a couple of months and when I do, I'm defiantly going to get one of these cases. I think that is what great design is all about, to inspire the viewer to answer the required call to action, which in this case is to choose, custom and then buy one of these very cool cases.
