Summary

The first book dedicated to the Flash design and implementation issues of next-generation wireless appliances, including PDAs, cell phones, and other small-screen devices! Macromedia has released a Flash player for Microsoft Pocket PCs, and the coming rollout of 2.5G and 3G wireless services is certain to stimulate demand for jazzy interactive interfaces.
