Default Flash integration on your Pocket PC Phone

http://www.macromedia.com/desdev/mobile/articles/tel_url.html

Phillip Torrone is once again pushing the envelope with Flash on the Pocket PC, this time on the Phone Edition. You need the Flash developer kit to get started, and a Pocket PC Phone of some sort. This will not work on a normal Pocket PC, at least not with this code. Phillip has a tutorial in a downloadable .ZIP file to walk you through the process. Can you imagine a time not so far in the future you can just browse to a web site, it will sniff out that you are on a Pocket PC Phone and present a phone directory right on your device for you to tap and initiate a call?

I hope this day never comes (When I am required to have PPC Phone). I thought you (Ed) were also one of those people who wanted separate devices (phone and PDA). Somehow I should be able to do this with my Bluetooth card connected to my phone too.

Dude (pt),
Leave something cool for us mere mortals to figure out.
You are having all the fun by yourself.
Once I finish reading my current Flash book I am going to start collecting signatures to keep you away from Coke (or was it diet Coke?) for a week so that I can come up with something cool.
Cool stuff, I think your Interactor interface is your best one so far though. That was creative.

Well, PPC phone, smartphone, PPC + cellphone combo. Whatever. It doesn't have to be just one of those.
