Dal 3GSM di Barcellona Adobe annuncia che il supporto ai video sarà integrato nel prossimo Flash Lite, previsto per la prima metà del 2007. Una buona notizia per i vari Youtube e Myspace che potranno quindi sviluppare facilmente versioni mobile per i cellulari e smartphones supportati da Flash Lite (tra cui quelli equipaggiati con Symbian S60 e Windows Mobile 5).

Dal comunicato ufficiale:

“Video support in Flash Lite will revolutionize the way users engage with mobile content and open up new revenue opportunities for developers worldwide,” said Al Ramadan, senior vice president for Mobile and Device Solutions at Adobe. “This release will allow users to view vibrant video content from popular Internet sites like YouTube or MySpace and enable developers to create new, dynamic applications across a variety of mobile and consumer electronics platforms.”

Flash Lite will support the same video formats supported by Adobe Flash Player and will directly support video streams delivered by the Adobe Flash Media Server, allowing users to view a broad spectrum of Flash Player compatible content. Videos can be viewed in different forms within the Flash environment, including downloadable video clips, streaming videos, applications with user interfaces based on Flash or personalized content such as wallpapers or screensavers.

Flash Lite runs on multiple platforms, including Symbian S60 v2/v3, Qualcomm® BREW® 2.x/3.x and Microsoft Windows Mobile 5, in addition to embedded operating systems on a variety of OEM platforms. This allows consistent content delivery across device types, broader distribution of engaging mobile experiences and simpler publishing, testing and selling of Flash Lite content for developers.
