Would all those people in the room who have never checked if the firmware on their phone is current please leave the room, check it and then return when it is done. Would the smarter more confident people also go and find all their friends and update their firmware as well. And would the representative from Nokia out the back (yes you know who you are) please find away to update firmware automatically without the user having to do anything.

My reasoning for this is simple. Think of the developers. How can we develop cool apps for your phone and give them to you if your phone is not up todate! O.k so Flash Lite 3 is cool and make my life a lot easier in the development space, but Nokia and Adobe have also screwed every developer and user at the same time.

The reason being that Flash Lite 3 is coming out on all sorts of phones now and coming out as firmware versions, not just phones. The e90 got updated to a flashlite 3 version this week, and there was a firmware update for the n95-4 8gb NAM (that is the American version of the n85-8gb). The ng5-1 (and all variations there of) have also had firmware updates to flash lite over the last few months as well. Plus a whole pile of other phones either have or will get it shortly.

So the old days of getting a user to select a phone from a list and giving them the correct software are long gone, perhaps never to join us again. You can forget Device Central for a while as well, as that takes so long to update that is it old before you get it.

And I wont even go into the rumours of Flash Lite 3.1 fixing a bug with local/remote file handling…..

So stop reading find every Nokia device that you know has firmware and update it…

and then and only then can you watch this neat video I found on
