My name is Anand Joshi and I work at California Software Labs, Adobe Flash distributor. Over the past few years, we have worked with numerous customers worldwide and ported Flash player to all kinds of devices catering to  mobile, consumer and digital home market.  This gave me an opportunity to build expertise in wide range of devices such as mobile phones, set-top boxes, mp3 players, digital signage boxes, hand-held devices, kiosks, DTV etc. etc.(any device that has a CPU, OS and display for that matter :)) In addition, we did significant amount of work on OS/BSP development (Linux, Windows CE/Mobile, Nucleus, ThreadX….) and platform customization (TI, Freescale, Marvell, Intel ….) and multimedia application development (h.264, youtube, STB apps).

On this blog, I’ll be writing about Flash Lite and multimedia technology based on my day-to-day  experience. The information here is meant to give you basic understanding of how Flash and multimedia applications would work and perform on embedded devices and what you can do to get best out of them. Hope you’ll find that useful. If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate  to contact me via email at anand at joshimail dot net.

Once you start working with Flash/Flash Lite on embedded device, you’ll quickly realize that developing Flash applications is nothing like PC. Often times things don’t work on embedded devices due to lack of feature support and CPU/RAM limitations. If you are looking for help on content development, by all means drop me a line as I am well connected in Flash content developers around the world.

I am also active in TIE Boston (http://www.tie-boston.org), a volunteer organization that promotes entrepreneurship. Feel free to drop me a line if you are an entreprenuer with ideas and looking for direction -  I’d be happy to connect you with investment community.
