Prada, Flash UI

Prada, Flash UI: The Italian fashion firm launches a luxury phone with soft UI created in Adobe Flash Lite. We've already seen Samsung move to Flash Lite UI, and Apple's iPhone announcement uses a touchscreen as well as software interface... clear trend towards interfaces which aren't dependent on a particular hardware case. There's a showcase site up from manufacturer LG Mobile, with Prada visuals of parts of the interface, but not much firm detail yet. It's an expensive phone, but would probably make more of an impression than a luxury watch or designer dress would. Alessandro Pace picked up on this early... Techmeme sees it through an iPhone prism... I'm guessing we'll see more of its interface at 3GSM in Barcelona next month.
