Is it possible to do this on Windows, Mac, and Linux? Anyone have example of how to accomplish?
I'm fairly certain you cannot capture the desktop image in Air without the use of a third party driver or application. Heres a demo using Air with Merapi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gp2BzQi-gSU

I am reading documents which related to air, mobile ... author recommend software Adobe Device Central, I try researching available products of Abobe (https://creative.adobe.com/products) but I can't see it, it's necessary? If Adobe dropped it, is there any alternative?
Adobe Device Central has been discontinued: http://www.adobe.com/products/devicecentral.html
If you want to develop for mobile devices using Adobe Air then you have to take Adobe Flash. The HTML/JavaScript version is not available for mobile development. Instead you have to use Phonegap as Framework.
Is it possible to upload an image created by the phone using Sencha Touch but without any dependency on PhoneGap? Basically my app will be accessible via the web, and not installed natively on the device. I want to be able to select an image from the phone storage and then be able to upload it to the service. I effectively want the same functionality as you would get with the file upload control on a normal desktop browser.
Is this possible, and if so how?
There is a current solution in its infancy, but it works. I tested it on my Nexus 7 using Chrome. Here is the list of compatibility:
Android (4.0 up) browser support as regular
Google Chrome for desktop and mobile
iOS Safari browser support from version 6.0 (not tested on mobile)

Desktop webbrowser and mobile browser are different in lot many cases. To access file upload option you need to access the OS API which is not possible using javascript only. Phonegap provides us option to connect js with device API. If you can find a way to do this, without using Phonegap, then may be you can fix, or else its not possible.
I have VS2012 windows phone emulator that works just fine. I can develop and debug.
The question is how to upload test content to the emulator? I need a few songs in the emulator media library to debug my application.
You can upload files to your emulator with windows phone power tools.Connect emulator and put file where you want.
Check this link:
Wp Power Tools
unfortunately you cannot do that in the emulator... you need an actual phone...
Can't you just sign into SkyDrive and grab from there?
Also this 7.0 approach to deploying files to the emulator might still work: http://justinangel.net/WindowsPhone7EmulatorAutomation
You may be able to get with your local developer evangelist to get a test device. You can use this app to find out who that is - http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=30db0bac-e968-4e50-8205-30adf19fb5b9.
I'm very new to Symbian application development. I'm googling some beginner tutorials about Symbian development. As there are many versions and many phone vendors, I like to ask you guys who are already have experiments in Symbian development..
My target is to develop small apps for sony ericsson w960i phone that uses Symbian OS v9.1, UIQ 3.0.
The goal of application is to save all incoming/outgoing calls/messages as a backup somewhere (txt file or isolated storage) inside the app.
For example: If I call to someone, my app should receive the events of number/contact name so I can save it to somewhere else.
Can someone help me to suggest to achieve this?
Can I use Nokia Qt to develop apps for "sony ericsson w960i"? If not, which SDK should I use it for my app?
Can Nokia Qt be used to access call triggers/messages? I read that Qt can't access the internal OS stuffs but not sure whether accessing calls/message can be considered as internal OS stuffs.
Thanks in advance.
Are you absolutely sure about UIQ? This is even more dead than Symbian.
Wiki link
BTW, you can also use Symbian code in Qt application.
Well, the main issue here is that neither Sony Ericsson nor UIQ don't even exist anymore.
Sony swallowed the first and the second went bankrupt after Nokia acquired Symbian itself.
So, whatever you end up doing won't be officially supported.
You can still develop applications for the w960i using JavaME but that doesn't have a telephony API so it won't help you with the kind of application you described.
Qt is not available at all on the w960i.
In order to develop applications using Symbian OS C++, you need the UIQ3 SDK. Since you can't download it from any official source anymore, you will have to google for places online where other people have uploaded it. Hopefully, you can find one with a legitimate untouched SDK.
The documentation in the SDK will help you create the UIQ-specific GUI for your application.
For the engine of your application, generic Symbian OS C++ will do. If you are a true beginner, my admittedly biased advice would be to procure a copy of Quick Recipes on Symbian OS since what you need to learn basically amounts to reading several chapters of that book. The code examples in the book will work on the w960i and will show you how to use the Symbian telephony and messaging APIs.
Wondering if there is any Text to Speech software available as a plug in for IE or Firefox.
WebAnywhere is a university project aimed at creating a site that allows you to use text to speech from any browser at any location, without installing anything or using any plugins.
You can try it out and see for yourself. I was pretty impressed with it when I first heard of it.
There is also NVDA (NonVisual Desktop Access) which is an open source general purpose screen reader for Windows.
It is built in for Safari on Mac OSX. Highlight any text and go to the menu, Safari > Services > Speech > Start Speaking Text.

I know you asked for plugins for IE and Firefox but I thought I'd just add that Opera supports text to speech (both for issuing commands and for Opera to read web / email to you) out of the box (in Windows and possibly Mac OS).
See the Opera Voice page.
Windows Narrator is part of a default XP installation, and can be used in any browser. I also suggest you try out Thunder, which is free and can work with IE and most other Windows apps.
For Firefox, there is LowBrowse, which has text to speech for the
paragraph that the cursor is in.
