Adobe Flash Lite 3 launched

Adobe launched Flash Lite 3, a powerful runtime engine for mobile and consumer electronics devices that allows mobile device manufacturers, operators and content providers to differentiate their offerings. The new software supports Adobe Flash Player compatible video and enables the delivery of dynamic Web content on mobile devices.

“With Flash Lite 3 and its support for video, we’ve passed a major milestone in bringing a desktop experience to mobile and transforming the wireless industry,” said Al Ramadan, senior vice president for Mobile and Devices at Adobe.

Flash Lite 3 more closely replicates the desktop experience delivered by Adobe Flash Player. It supplies users with efficient resource management capabilities and significantly improved and optimized performance for mobile devices. The new software enables developers to create more engaging applications, interfaces and mobile assets that integrate video, as well as develop innovative and dynamic mobile assets such as wallpapers, screensavers or casual games.

Both NTT DoCoMo and Nokia committed to deliver Flash Lite 3 enabled devices in upcoming releases of handsets. 

Adobe Flash Lite runs on multiple platforms, including S60 on Symbian OS, second and third edition, Qualcomm BREW 2.x/3.x and Microsoft Windows Mobile 5, in addition to embedded operating systems on a variety of OEM platforms.
