German firm Mobivention has been making interesting Flash Lite content for a while now, including animated wallpapers, and ones that change image according to the time of the day. However, it’s new thing is called Shaking Wallpaper, and is a set of wallpapers that you change by shaking your mobile.
Okay, it’s not the “revolution for users to individualise their mobile phone on the go” that Mobivention claims - it’s more a novel use for your phone’s accelerometer function that you’ll probably tire off after a few minutes. The Shaking Wallpaper currently works on Sony Ericsson phones, and they’re on sale through the handset maker’s new PlayNow Arena portal.
However, Mobivention says it’ll be launching new Flash Lite stuff in the coming months. Personally, I’m less interested in shaking my wallpapers, and more interested in making them more interactive - for example pulling in news headlines from the web, or friend’s Twitter posts. Fingers crossed that Mobivention (and other companies) go down this road with Flash Lite.
