Get RealVista Desktop fully working with Flash Lite 3.0 enabled Devices

The great Flash application “RealVista Desktop” by … caused large attention, because it brought the amazing Vista optics to all Flash enabled S60 devices without changing or damaging any system file.

Many people installed “RealVista Desktop” on their phones due to the amazing look the application offers, however users of the latest Nseries flagships N95, N95 8GB and N82 discovered problems when launching applications out of the flash application.

New Whitepaper confirms Flash Lite 3 Support of the Sony Ericsson G900

 

The latest Nseries devices N82, N95 and N95 8GB have all obtained the useful support for Flash Lite 3 which enables their browsers to view full flash content including web videos from portals like YouTube or Dailymotion.

RealVista Desktop brings Windows Vista Optics to S60 Devices

 

As many people with the same opinion, I think that Microsoft’s current OS Windows Vista is everything else than convincing and revolutionary as the developers say, but one thing is  although it slows down your PC much an advantage for sure – the great optics.

The new “Aearo Glass” UI and all the other lovely icons, backgrounds and bars are real eyecatchers and maybe the only attraction for XP users to change to Vista.

CorePlayer v1.2.4 released, supports Flash Video Files

 

CoreCodec has just updated one of the most famous media players for mobile phones, the “CorePlayer”. The “CorePlayer” is famous for the wide range of formats it is able to play and has become even more popular since the last update which brought YouTube support for a part of Symbian devices.

The brand new update v1.2.4 for the Symbian platform, so both UIQ and S60 devices is another nice update which improves stability and brings new features.

Flash Lite 3.1 Feature List published

The new Flash Lite 3 version 3.1 is available for OEMS for some days now (Original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, is an ambiguous and abstruse phrase that refers to containment-based re-branding, where a company uses a component of another company in its product, or sells the product of another company under its own brand. OEM refers to the company that originally manufactured the product).

Adobe Flash Lite software is a powerful runtime engine for mobile and consumer electronics devices that benefits both device manufacturers and content developers.

I have written numerous times (here and here) about the very promising browser “Skyfire” which should be a household name for most of you. In case you still haven’t heard about this promising application, I will explain in short words why “Skyfire” causes so much intention in the Symbian world.

Skyfire is a free, downloadable mobile web browser that makes browsing on your phone exactly like browsing on your PC. You can view wany content you like e.g. watch Flash videos on YouTube, view JAVA content,  listen to music and so on. “Skyfire” uses a server rendering engine which provides not only the possibility to view everything you like as I mentioned, but also very fast page rendering and unburdening the phone’s RAM.

N96 featuring a Xenon Flash after all?!

The N82 is the first Nseries device with a full Xenon flash which delivers very nice photos also in dark light conditions.

Because the flash is seen as a large advantage of the N82 compared to other Nseries devices and also other phone manufacturers now often build a Xenon flash into their phones, we all thought that it would also be part of upcoming new S60 devices.

New N82 Firmware will certainly bring Flash Lite 3 Support

Well, this is just my speculation which seems to be very certain. Thanks to the N82 Blog, I was able to have a look at the data sheet of the upcoming new N82 Black.

This data sheet showed not the normal features we know from other N82 versions: the N82 Black supports Flash Lite 3, geotagging and will probably have the new N-Gage application for the full arena preinstalled.

As I have reported, Nokia is going to release the new N95 firmware v21.0.016 in a few days. The update brings above all full Flash Lite 3 support for the default S60 browser what means that videos of every online video portal can be viewed directly into the N95 browser.

Noob Section: Mobile Browsing including YouTube Experience

With this new article of my “Noob Section” I want to show you how to enjoy mobile browsing without abandoning YouTube videos. This post is thought for most S60v3 devices apart from the N95 8GB which does already support Flash videos.

All other devices have a browser which is not compatible with Flash Lite 3 content. However, you can use the great YouTube client “MobiTubia” having a great feature called “Open Web Clip”. You can enter the address of any YouTube clip containing web page. “MobiTubia” shows you automatically all the clips which are embedded on this site and you can play them with the external YouTube client.
