Nokia Developer Champion of the month, April 2012 !

I have been selected Nokia Developer Champion of the month for April 2012!

Pretty cool, thanks to the Nokia Developer Champion program.

“Nokia Developer Champion Alessandro Pace
(biskero to his friends) is a mobile architect and entrepreneur with
over 5 million downloads in Nokia Store to his company’s credit.
Working out of his home base of Firenze, Italy, he is a world-renowned
expert on Flash Mobile development, a WURFL contributor for Flash
Lite, co-founder of Mobile Monday Boston, and architect of the Kero

over your favorite beverage. Take the conversation technical, discuss
business, or get him to tell you the legend of Biskero. It’s a
conversation you won’t forget.”

Symbian Anna and Belle supporting Flash Lite 4 content

Nokia release the new version of Symbian OS, Symbian Anna and announced Symbian Belle. Both support Flash Lite 4 content and if you have created content for Nokia touch devices, for example using Flash Lite 3, it will work out of the box on new devices. Great advantage both from a technical and business point of view.

Also from looking at some videos of Symbian Belle UI/UX looks like a great improvement in the direction of competing directly with Android, iOS and Windows Phone. I am waiting for the Nokia N9 and MeeGo to have a more wide comparison.

Looking forward to Nokia World in October.
