[Laszlo-dev] Question concerning Cumby FlashLite enabled Devices

[Michael Kroll]

Hi Henry,
I just got a chumby at ebay USA. Hope to get it soon for testing :-)
Here in germany the Chumbys are not yet available :-(

By the way. Do you guys have experience running OL SWFs on mobile or  
embedded devices?
Are there alternatives to FlashLite capable devices?

I think Andre helped me some time ago to reduce the size of the OL  
clock blox in order to run it on a mobile
phone. Thanks again "senshi".

Regards,
Michael.
