Adobe announced yesterday that its Flash Lite software was now included in more than 500 million mobile phones across the globe.

The software that powers many such as YouTube and many other special animations and transitions is derived from Flash on computer web browsers, as well as offline applications.

Microsoft has also announced that it will use Flash Lite on its Windows Mobile Operating System, a step needed in order to keep competing against upcoming platforms that possess Touch UI or any flash interface like the one we see in Apple iPhones.

“With over half a billion devices now running Flash Lite we’re extending the reach of high impact web experiences to our connected mobile world,” said Al Ramadan, senior vice president, Mobile and Devices at Adobe. “With Microsoft, the latest addition to our list of mobile partners, Flash technology’s footprint continues to expand, promising more opportunities for Flash developers and more great content for mobile consumers around the world.”
