Adobe & Flash Lite03 Jun 2005 10:48 am
Paul Wilson who runs a Flash Lite listServe forwarded out a press release he saw this morning about Macromedia signing a deal with Qualcomm to deploy applications in BREW.
It sounds intriguing, but there was precious little info in the release about what this means about Flash’s reach into the larger mobile market, or exactly what this means for Flash Lite development. Anyone that has a larger sense of the mobile space feel free to leave a comment or twenty to enlighten me. 
Digg this!

this is great news. there was no technical reason flash was not available on Brew (and therefore verizon) it was all down to politics. this notice means those issues have been sorted out.
if the flash player is provided as a Brew “extension” it means the user will just pull it down once, on-the-fly, but then it can be used by any other application.
this also will allow for updates of the player without buying a new handset - so we might get Flash5 / real scripting soon on the US’ biggest carrier (in terms of content sales): vrzn.
be interesting to see if MM license it as a module for other developers to wrap Brew apps around (eg flash content within a brew 3d game) - or just for flashlite content playback.
