This week, Ryan and I got over lots of mobile related news, sprinkled with some social networking items:
- Adobe/Facebook deal – somehow I missed the MySpace Silverlight SDK – Cf. Tim Anderson’s commentary.
- Silverlight Mobile talk over at Silverlight Hack – Good round-up of the history of Silverlight Mobile from TechEd 2007. Sounds like release is a year away. Speculation about it taking longer. Nice discussion in the comments.
- Also, .Net Services demo from MIX09 up. See also the Steven Martin overview.
- CrunchGear Palm Pre Demos – several nice videos demo’ing applications like Pandora. Notice the background running, notifications bar, etc.
- PhoneGap wins a Web 2.0 Launchpad award.
- RIM App World – Blackberry app store – I have no Blackberry, so I have no idea. “RIM expects about 1,000 applications to be available this week, with more in the future. App World is initially available for BlackBerry users in the United States, Canada and United Kingdom. Users have to first download a smartphone application to connect to the App World Web site, via cellular or Wi-Fi links.”
- RIA Download sizes from Mike Chambers – how much does this matter? Ryan says that Adobe does studies on completed downloads, and there is a significant drop-off at some point.
- Any Korea RIA action in Seoul? Ryan says that Korea is way ahead of everyone else.
- Ryan’s last post on ZDNet.
