Some exciting news about mobile games from actionscript.it

“FlashLite is fast developing into one of the most exciting new tools for mobile development, and the large pool of talented flash developers world wide promises to make it extremely successful. However, for most mobile professionals, J2ME is still the preferred choice. Mobile.Actionscript.it is open to the best of both worlds, and has decided to honor J2ME developers with an new category dedicated entirely to J2ME, with its own dedicated prizes.”

Awesome! Great to see that although the Flash Lite community is still gung-ho for their platform, they’re also making some concessions towards what people actually use to play games. Good stuff.

Korea is the closest thing to a place where you can run into the future every day, while casually munching a kimchee pajeon and sipping some Soju. Suhjung and the Nabi crew have put together another great mobile competition – the Mobile Asia Competition 2006 – enter quick while there’s still time! (Submissions end 31 August 2006)

The US launch of the supercute Korean social network Cyworld was marred for me (and many others) by a PHP error which prevented me from completing my profile.

Sheesh!

You’d think that the experience of running the largest social network in Korea as well as having branches in Taiwan, Japan and China would have prevented this type of faux pas on day 1.

I guess it just goes to show that no matter how accomplished you are, there’s always room for error.
