To support developers interested in the Open Screen Project Fund, Forum Nokia and Adobe are producing learning materials and code examples. These resources will make it easier for desktop Flash developers to create applications for use on Nokia devices.
In addition, a specific support channel is being made available to developers who receive grants from the Open Screen Project Fund, so that Nokia and those developers can work together to overcome any technical issues that might arise.
If you're thinking about submitting a request for funding to the Open Screen Project Fund, there's a tremendous amount of information available to you, from the most basic overview to detailed code examples:
- The Adobe Developer Connection's Mobile & Devices Developer Center offers materials covering Flash Lite, design, and development.

Discovery, distribution, and revenue channels
Nokia provides a global distribution channel with the new Ovi Store. This channel enables Flash application developers and designers to easily reach Nokia users around the globe.
"The Ovi Store will offer people targeted content based on their social connections and physical location, or what Nokia calls 'Social Location'. The Ovi Store provides developers with a dynamic and potentially lucrative opportunity to offer Nokia's global consumer base new, useful and exciting applications. Content providers will be able to get their work into the store via a single channel, Publish.Ovi.com, which will be open for content from today, February 16." George Linardos - The head of Product Development for Nokia's Media group
