Nokia and Adobe Launch $10 Million Open Screen Project Fund
The Open Screen Project is a collaboration of more than 20 companies (including Nokia and Adobe) with one clear vision: to enable consumers to access, utilise, and share rich content seamlessly — regardless of the devices, operating systems, browsers, or networks they use. The new fund is a result of this initiative. Additional Open Screen Project partners are expected to join the fund in the future.
Applications that incorporate Adobe Flash Lite will be considered for funding, and initial areas of focus include: entertainment, social networking, productivity, gaming, and news and information. Those projects with broad appeal — and that make the most of Nokia's platform capabilities — are likely to catch the interest of the combined panel of multi-screen application and services experts from Nokia and Adobe, which will review all of the funding requests that are submitted. Developers retain all rights to their applications, while Adobe and Nokia have the right to evaluate, test, and promote the content.
'The Open Screen Project fund encourages the use of Adobe tools and existing developer skills to create exciting and unique Flash applications for millions of Nokia devices', said Tero Ojanpera, executive vice president (EVP), Nokia Services. 'With more than 300-million Flash-enabled Nokia devices in market, we will support these developers through the Forum Nokia developer community, while providing a more targeted distribution channel to consumers
