Mystic Ed


We at chatebot.com have produced another app, which we think is one of our best so far. It depicts the British celebrity, Mystic Ed.

Currently in development the application can be downloaded onto your mobile phone, and using the latest Flash Lite software, will help to predict your future.

Mystic Ed, based in Middle England, is a professional psychic and clairvoyant who specialises in crystal ball and tarot card predictions. He has been featured in countless television and radio programmes over the past ten years, as well as being featured in the local and national press.
Earlier this year he appeared on the UK's Channel 5 programme Housebusters, with former Blue Peter presenter Janet Ellis.

Now he will be making predictions over the airwaves straight to your mobile phones - via an automated, artificial intelligent, chatbot.
Simply ask the mystic bot a 'yes' or 'no' answer question via your mobile handset and you will get an instant response. This great project will be released shortly.

Macromedia: Advancing With Mobile Innovation

"Last week's purchase of Mobile Innovation by Flash maker Macromedia signals a significant shift in the way mobile user interfaces will develop in the future. We talk to Matt Millar, co-founder of Mobile Innovation and new Practice Director of Macromedia's Mobile and Devices practice in EMEA, about how the change affects Mobile Innovations products and services.
We first featured Macromedia's plans to push Flash from a content presentation tool to mobile UI enabler back in July 2004.

Since then Macromedia have announced a number of licensing agreement, including Nokia. The drive looks as though it will be moving up a gear with the purchase of UI specialist Mobile Innovation. Mobile Innovation have been behind a number of the UIs seen on today's Symbian OS devices.

Richard: What is the motivation for Macromedia's purchase of Mobile Innovation?

Matt: Mobile Innovation has used Macromedia Flash for PC prototyping of user interfaces for as long as its been in existence. In the last 18 months Macromedia has made Flash Lite available and moved into the mobile space. As a company we questioned why we were prototyping with one tool and then implementing the design in C++. If we could go straight from the prototype to running, it would made a lot of sense.

As Macromedia started to work in the mobile space we started working more closely. We offered Macromedia our handset experience and helped inform their development. Over time it became clear that the companies shared goals and the deal progressed from there." More>>

First eshop for Flash Lite apps

We at flashlite4mobile.com have created, we believe, the first portal for buying Flash Lite content for mobile phones. Flash Lite, is the new plugin available from Macromedia, for Symbian series 60+ phones. We are a small family company, comprising of Dad myself and Andy my brother. Andy did the very first ai character called Retch, which is now on sale at www.Handango.com apart from our own site. He and dad are the artists in the team, whereas I am the programmer and sales person.
Flash for mobile is the latest technology, and so far the public haven't really heard much of it, as it hasn't been pushed yet by the big players in the industry. I suppose this is because they want to get rid of all the back stocks of units before they launch new ones with the player pre installed.

HOWEVER, the player can be bought direct from Macromedia here, for just $10. Which is not bad really, when you consider the better content that is available.
