Felix Schrader, editor of CREATE OR DIE, interviewed me at the Webinale conference about the Webinale Fanbook and SnipClip’s mobile integration of QR code (twodimensional barcodes). The interview is in German:

Yesterday i spoke about mobile tagging at webinale 09 in BCC, Berlin. It was a very cool session for me with very interested participants and really nice discussions.

So if you want, you can download or watch the slides here (in German):

Don’t forget to check out the corresponding article on create or die with an detailed overview about readers and generators (in German).

If you have further questions or suggestions don’t  hesitate and feel free to contact me at any time. If you’re a webinale visitor don’t forget to check out the really cool Webinale collector’s book and scan up some exhibitors :)

Our coding guru André created a fantastic video explaining mobile tagging:

He also published an article (in German) about that topic on CreateOrDie.de.

This morning I discovered on the web magazine create or die the first announcement of what me and my developer teammate André are currently urging for: the beta version of Silverlight 2 Mobile, which is scheduled for the first quarter of 2009.

If you want to know, which additional features the mobile version will have and which of the current Silverlight 2.0 features will be cutted, you can read a detailed article about the announcement on The Register.

We will keep you up with the latest news about Silverlight Mobile.

Until then, hang in there!

Is this strategy or silliness:

Flash Lite for mobile phones might not be good enough for Steve Jobs, but Microsoft is less picky. It is licensing Flash Lite for Windows Mobile. This is an acknowledgment of two things: there are a lot of developers and existing Websites out there that work with Flash, and the mobile version of Microsoft’s own competing Silverlight software is nowhere near ready to be deployed.

Read on TechCrunch. The author also asks “Who Will Be the First to Bring A True Flash-Like Experience To Mobile Devices?” and the readers respond:

Hm, does anybody understand these results? The people believe in Microsoft, but Microsoft does not believe in Microsoft?

Don’t think about it too long, otherwise you may get crazy. Just have a good time!

Good news (at least for us):

Nokia today announced that it has reached a deal with Microsoft to put Silverlight, Redmond’s so-called “Flash killer,” on its S60 Symbian OS-powered smartphones, as well as Series 40 devices and its range of Linux-based Internet tablets.
