This advert where “Bilgehan” (over at Kuneri Lite) utilizes his unique talent of handrawing an N95 using Microsoft Paint and a mouse … is simple awesome-ness.

Just read that Ferry Halim’s Orisinal Flash games are coming to mobile.
I am a big fan of his work on desktop.
Not clear if these will be Flash Lite or Java based (however, I suspect these will be Flash Lite based!).
3 ports have been announced: Bugs, Three Little Pigs, & A [...]

I was just catching up watching the Ogilvy Singapore interview that was put up on the Adobe Mobile Podcast Series (John Agger’s (Adobe MAD) project).
