Flex Charts on the iPad
I continue to see a lot of interest for dashboards applications on mobile devices (particularly on tablets), and I think that interactive data visualization applications are really a sweet spot for Flex. As an example, I built a simple dashboard aggregator using the out-of-the box charting components available in Flex. The same application can run [...]
Flex-Powered Multi-Touch Data Visualization on the iPad, Android, and the BlackBerry PlayBook
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve visited many enterprise customers to spread the exciting news and discuss their mobile strategy. I found it interesting that most of them were focusing primarily on tablets (instead of phones), and that the application they were focusing on was almost always a dashboard or at least involved a [...]
Flex on the iPad
Here is a video showing a sample Flex application running on the iPad. This Mobile Trader application shows chart manipulation and drill-downs using touch events, real time market data updates (in lists and charts), as well as video-conferencing (with your financial advisor) and screen synchronization between clients (“simulations” and “what-ifs” collaboration use cases). In addition [...]

By Christophe Coenraets on August 27, 2010 in Air, Android, Flex, Froyo, LiveCycle Collaboration Service
This application allows users in different locations to work together in Google Maps. The collaboration features in this application include: Video Chat Map Synchronization on move, zoom, etc. Whiteboarding Cursor sharing When running on Android, the application can use the device’s GPS to share your location. This is just another example of “built-in” collaboration (go [...]
Multi-User Video Tic-Tac-Toe for Android
My previous post, “Video Chat for Android in 30 Lines of Code”, has generated a good level of interest. A slight twist on the same idea is to build collaboration into your applications. The use case here is slightly different: instead of enabling simple “video conversations” between remote users, this level of collaboration enables remote [...]
