14 DAY TRIAL // Adobe recently rolled out Flash Lite 3, a mobile technology which enhances the power of the mobile devices to display videos and other content based on the flash format. Adobe sustains there are no less than 300 million flash-compatible devices so I think it is quite important to have a powerful technology able to work with our handhelds. Adobe Flash Lite was especially designed to reach this goal and provide almost the same experience as the PC version of Flash Player, which I'm sure you know is the main technology for famous services such as YouTube. Google's video sharing service YouTube offers an impressive collection of clips through Adobe's Flash Player.
"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. "Today, mobile users experience amazing Flash based user interfaces and applications with handsets like the LG Prada, the LG Chocolate or the Samsung D900. With Flash Lite 3, tomorrow's devices will offer even richer, more engaging experiences."
But YouTube is not the only technology which will improve its mobile capabilities using the power of the new Flash Lite. A huge number of websites available out there will also become mobile compatible if they decide to implement Adobe's latest product. Moreover, the mobile devices produced by top companies such as Nokia will get additional features since Adobe's service will make them compatible with more web-based technologies.
"We're proud to be working with Adobe to further our mission of providing S60 Smartphone users with superior multimedia experiences," said Lee Epting, vice president, Forum Nokia, Nokia Corporation. "Flash Lite 3 will enable us to deliver richer content to our customers, such as videos and animated ringtones. This reinforces Nokia's commitment to mobile innovation and provides an exciting new channel for content delivery and consumption."
