Calsoft pacts with U-Eyes to distribute Flash player in to device

californiasw

California Software Company Ltd. (Calsoft) has partnered with U-Eyes, China to enhance one of its products, the electronic visor of a car, by incorporating a flash player in the device. 

The software enables the visor in vehicles to serve a dual role, to shield the sunrays, besides providing entertainment. While passengers of the cab can watch a film or a music video, there is room for useful information in the form of tailor made advertisements. This also keeps the passenger informed of any special offers or events. The best part is that the content could also be updated or changed depending on the requirement.

The company also said that its relationship with Adobe Systems Incorporation allows it to license, distribute, and integrate the Adobe Flash Player SDK and Adobe Flash Lite into embedded and handheld devices in India, South Asia and U.S Markets.

Cherry Blossoms (Sakura), Japan: Flash lite 1.1 screensaver

Sakura_flash lite screensaver

Just design a beautiful Flash lite 1.1, Sakura, Screensaver 🙂 .
You can download full version here, have fun.

About Sakura

The cherry blossom (Sakura) is Japan’s unofficial national flower. It has been celebrated for many centuries and takes a very prominent position in Japanese culture.

here are many dozens of different cherry tree varieties in Japan, most of which bloom for just a couple of days in spring. The Japanese celebrate that time of the year with hanami (cherry blossom viewing) parties under the blooming trees.

Japan’s most beloved variety is the Somei Yoshino. Its flowers are nearly pure white, tinged with the palest pink, especially near the stem. The flowers bloom, and usually fall (or “scatter”, 散る [chiru], in Japanese) within a week, before the leaves come out. Therefore, the trees look nearly white from top to bottom.

Its really beautiful flowers 🙂

chumby game 1

A new Chumby game: Click Stick Game v1.1 is released by Martin Selva.

Its very simple and clear and user (player) needs no brain .. Just Passion 😀
He requested user for testing this game on chumby device.

Chumby is a compact device with flash lite and it can act like a clock radio, but is way more flexible and fun. It uses the wireless internet connection you already have to fetch cool stuff from the web: music, the latest news, box scores, animations, celebrity gossip…whatever you choose. And a chumby can exchange photos and messages with your friends. Since it’s always on, you’ll never miss anything.

Its really a cool and addictive game 🙂
