FlashLite isn’t a torch
Written by Meraj Chhaya on May 10, 2008 – 10:28 pm
In a thread at MyADSL I just noticed that some people might get confused over Flash or FlashLite, and this isn't laughing matter.
As you can see in this post, we were speaking about updating firmware with Nokia Software Updater, and one of the members was aware that if he updated his phone, he would get FlashLite. Now if you speak about FlashLite to someone who isn't much aware of web services, they will obviously think of a lantern or an torch, although we know that this FlashLite isn't Flash Light, it's used as a mobile version of Macromedia Flash, where FlashLite 3 is equivalent to Flash 9 if I'm not mistaken.
FlashLite 3 enables new animations and such content to run on phones, a great example of that is Flash Video players such as the ones YouTube uses.

Flash Lite powers Half a Billion phones
Written by Meraj Chhaya on March 18, 2008 – 3:04 pm
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.”
