I noticed some interesting stuff at the following blogs that could be helpful for further development with Python:

Loving the learning!

For my Gotchi-Sim project (which incidentally, I’ve renamed back to Making Friends), I’m going to see if I can get GPS and text-to-speech working with Flyer (an open source python framework for Flash Lite developers). Only problem has been that I don’t have a phone with an up to date Symbian OS. Good news! I’ve found two web-based emulators that allow you to test your mobile products on phones on the web. One of them looks like a pay-for solution – however it gives you a free 21 day trial and the other is put out by Forum Nokia. You do have to book time on them to use them but I think this could be really useful.
I just had a bit of play with the Forum Nokia one. I used the N79 device which is a Symbian S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2 device. Flash 3.0 is preinstalled – so my 2.1 application, should work ok.
So…. the two URLs for the emulators are:
http://www.forum.nokia.com/ –> http://apu.ndhub.net/ - this one is the free one where you reserve time.
…so now I have to figure out:
(1) how to install Flyer
(2) how to get it and Flash Lite to talk to each other!
Good luck to me!
