February Poll Results and the new March Flash Lite Poll

The regular monthly Flash Lite poll has finished up for February, and here's what the voters had to say on the question "What aspects of the Flash Platform on mobile are most important to you?"

• Compatibility with the desktop Flash player (AS3/FP10) - 2 votes
• Performance - 1 vote
• Cross-mobile-platform compatibility (build once, play everywhere) - 1 vote
• Frameworks for monetisation of products and content - 5 votes
• Access to device APIs - 2 votes
  

Seems it's clear what is really important here, and it's not necessarily the technology itself. I think over the past few weeks we've seen some good steps forward by the mobile ecosystem to improve this monetisation aspect of the business for developers, since certain other late-comers to the party seem to have demonstrated that it's very doable now with more devices accessing data and services away from the operator-controlled portals. If you haven't checked out what's been announced recently, you can read more about Flash Lite Distributable Player here, and don't forget the cash that flowing through the Flash Lite Developer Challenge and the Open Screen Fund.

So to follow up on the obvious winner from the last poll, let me put to you this month's poll question ... "Which app stores /distribution channels are you interested in selling (Flash and non-Flash) mobile applications through?" Give us your answer in the form down on the right hand side of the blog!
