    Future Flash

    If/When flash put on PSP what would you guys do [differently]?

    I would port a lightwight version of my flashcom app into it so that I can talk video chat with my friends.

    If flash player 8.5 ever comes out, I would have fun building a Skype clone using SIP standards along with some VNC.... ahh the possibilities.

    A full-blown player on the PSP would be interesting, but unlikely. I don't think Sony would be happy with anyone being able to make games, no matter how primative, that can be played on the console without them getting a cut.

    You sound like you'd be interested in labs.macromedia.com

    It's for mobile device in general, and yes, it's very very limited. Mainly because the browsers in phones and PDA's are very very limited.

    PSP is a grey area, and would require Sony's input. Don't know if this is still the case, but pre Flash-Lite each device maker was responsible for developing a Flash Player from the SDK that was compatible on the chip used in their device, MM didn't want to get involved in building and managing a player for every possible device.

    There's no incentive to do one for the PSP, and I don't think they even could, without Sony's blessing or input.

    with the adobe+macromedia thing, it seems to me that flash has a very good chance of becoming the interface medium of choice for a lot more than web-sites, slide-shows, kiosks and cell phones.

    i'll probably be programming an interface for a washing machine by next year!

    It's bad enough I have to put up with that crap at work. If my washer gives me that error I'm likely to take a sledgehammer to it.

    Flash UI for appliances: bad idea.

    You can make flash games for the pocket pc.
    http://www.macromedia.com/software/f...etpc/2002.html

    Buy up a bunch of cheap pda's and make new game controler style cases for them.

    Could this be marketed legally?

    If anyone steals this idea and sells it...
    Am i allowed to say that i would stab someone?
