(via Alessandro) –  The World Time and Temperature application from Liz is now available for download. It’s designed to work with any mobile device that has a screen size of 240w x 320h. Really cool.

A new great article, Creating Mobile Videos is now published on the Forum Nokia website.

This article provides an introduction to the video capabilities of Nokia mobile devices and guidelines for creating and publishing mobile videos. It offers hands-on recommendations for practical issues, such as conversion settings and tool recommendations, as well as a step-by-step walkthrough of an example case where a video clip is adapted for mobile use. In particular, this article is aimed at media content producers who want to ensure reaching the maximum audience with relatively minimum effort.

(via Bill) – A great new article covering dynamic layouts for Flash Lite applications up on the Adobe mobile and devices developer center. The author is David Brown from Agencynet.

In this tutorial I describe the process I used to develop the dynamic layout of the Bacardi® Mobile Cocktail application. I’ll cover how to react to environment changes, such as the current time of day, and how to implement automatic Stage size and orientation switching. Automatic adjustment is especially important for devices such as the Nokia N95, because it is capable of changing its resolution. For other devices, you will learn how to manually alter the orientation of your application to mimic that functionality. Click here for a video preview of the Bacardi® Mobile Cocktail application referenced in this article.

Congrats to David and Agencynet for this really cool mobile experience!

(via Bill) – Adobe today announced the Open Screen Project supported by a group of industry leaders. The project is dedicated to driving rich Internet experiences across televisions, personal computers, mobile devices, and consumer electronics.

The Open Screen Project is working to enable a consistent runtime environment — taking advantage of Adobe® Flash® Player and, in the future, Adobe AIR™ — that will remove barriers for developers and designers as they publish content and applications across desktops and devices, including phones, mobile Internet devices (MIDs), and set top boxes.

Adobe is committed to enabling developers and designers to deliver the richest experiences to the widest audience. Specifically, this work will include:

• Removing restrictions on use of the SWF and FLV/F4V specifications
• Publishing the device porting layer APIs for Adobe Flash Player
• Publishing the Adobe Flash® Cast™ protocol and the AMF protocol for robust data services
• Removing licensing fees – making next major releases of Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR for devices free
