Via JD, “Great news, for the tectonically-concerned in Tokyo… mobile providers DoCoMo and KDDI are cooperating on an earthquake notification system, which can transfer information from a plate shift to sensors to network to individuals faster than the shockwaves can penetrate the ground. So you will know of the earthquake before it arrives. They ‘re gradually hooking up individuals to remote sensors all around the world…(I’m not positive that they’re actually using the Adobe Flash Cast publishing service for this relay, but both DoCoMo and KDDI rely on the Flash Cast push services.”
Japan’s two biggest operators, NTT DoCoMo and KDDI, said Wednesday they are jointly developing a system to notify customers of an imminent earthquake, while number three Softbank said it is separately working on a similar service.

Mobile phones have shaped global communications. But who shapes mobiles? BBC News speaks to Jan Chipchase, principal researcher at Nokia Design.
Jan Chipchase tours the world looking at how people use mobile phones in their everyday lives and, more broadly, how people live. “This is interesting to Nokia because we want to put things in people’s pockets – something of value. As from Jan Chipchase “Human behaviour changes very slowly; technology changes very quickly”
“We do this research work to inform and inspire the design stage. To bring designers into the field so they know whom they are designing for.
“Often designers are designing phones for markets they have little experience of – so we want to bring the world to them and them to the world.”
Its really a good short review to know how Nokia User research works to know what people’s want to put in their pocket 🙂

“Jpeg Image issue ” show a red screen in Adobe Device Central.
I tried using Bitmap Image quality settings (tried changing from below 100 %) as in below images, it gives me a red screen output “FLERR: Bad Image Data Error!”
in Adobe Device Central But when i tried the same process using Flash 8 nothing happens. Not sure what can be the reason for this ?. An Image quality can be adjusted easily to get a desired size output.
Some other bugs and missing features which i posted earlier can be seen here.Read more
Hope Someone from Adobe can look in these bugs and will solve soon.

Tobias Hornof, who seems like a fan of both Nokia and Apple, designed this concept device. The so called Nokia 7001 Pocket is a small device that uses a touchscreen for all the user interactions. It can access the Internet, play music and video, take and show photos, and much more. Hopefully, we’ll see Nokia working on a touchscreen based devices in the near future.
I like the concept and UI it looks really cool 🙂

While doing a short review of Adobe device Central i feel something is missing.
Like :
1. Why no profile (sample device set) for 240×320 under fl 1.1, i use Nokia 6131 with fl 1.1 very similar case in FL 2.0 no profile for 176×208.
2. Even Screensaver functions support in Nokia 6131 but functions are disable not sure why?
3. An addition of Mini display (on supportive phones) in ADC will be really great advantage as it will help in to see content in emulator itself.
4. In wallpaper mode rather then shrinking the space from top and bottom if we will show default icons then it will be really great and user can see how visually content looks. As in practical nothing happens like that. Off course in other sense user know that design should not disturb user interface.
Kindly read full post here  where i mention why and how its useful and it really save time of developers. As even in other emulator like imode-html Simulator, its there.
5. Under Display>reflections we have indoor, outdoor etc. Why not night just curious we can make backlight glow and it will be interesting to user how it looks in night….just a thought.
6. No auto refreshment or a Restart button, each time user has to refresh manually his apps./screensaver/wallpaper etc. It will be great if we have a restart or rerun button. So no double clicking on device list. It also depends on how scripting is written but in many cases it’s required to rerun applications.
7. Why older device like Nokia 6680 removed in recent device profile list.Just curious as it should be there.
8. I installed device profile 5 in flash 8, got error. When choose Nokia 6131 in wallpaper mode then phone height shrinks which is wrong. Instead of content to be shrink as Its not happening in ADC (Adobe device central).
It will be great if anyone notice or feel some missing or future features of Adobe Device Central, Feel free to post here. I hope any one from adobe will notice or speak something.
