Finally, a great example of Flash on PDA

[SteveHoward999]

This is what I have been waiting to see, an ambitious use of Flash on PocketPC

http://www.exlib.no/

ExLib is a complete exercise library showing videos of exercises being completed, muscle groups used. It also has an exercise diary where you can keep a record of your workouts including comments.

This is a free application. If you want a serious workout tool and a way to show off the multimedia capabilities of your PDA then this is for you.

Be aware that this is a 16 Mb + installation, but I tested it on my SD card and it runs fine from there.


I found this app as it was one of the winners in a competition held by Macromedia to showcase Flash on PDAs. You can download all of the winners here

The other entries are good, but I think ExLib is great. I don't understand why "Temples of Taipei" won the Grand Prize, it's just typical stuff - but then I am only a simple multimedia/training developer, not a judge :-)

Beat me to it. ;)

I posted on this competition months ago, but only recently were the winners announced. Later in the day, check for a front page post which I queued up a few hours ago. In my opinion, the winning Flash submissions are fantastic! :D

Ahhh - nice to see it on the front page. I think Flash will take off on devices in a big way in the next few months, so I am looking forward to seeing some great stuff.

... Also looking forward to *doing* some too, but that's a whole other story :-)
