Flash Lite 1.x availability

Flash Lite 1.0 and Flash Lite 1.1 are supported on a variety of mobile devices that are available in a number of different geographic regions and markets. Some of these devices are available globally, while others are available only in specific geographic regions or from specific mobile operators. Some devices come with Flash Lite pre-installed from the device manufacturer or mobile operator, while on others it can be installed after purchase.

For the most current list of devices that support Flash Lite, see the Supported Devices page located at www.adobe.com/go/mobile_supported_devices.

Globally available devices that support Flash Lite include the Symbian Series 60-based devices from Nokia, Sendo, and Seimens, and the Symbian UIQ-based devices from Sony-Ericcson. As of this writing, all globally available devices support only the stand-alone Flash Lite player. The stand-alone player installs as a "top-level" application that a user can start from the device's application menu (just like a text messaging application or a mobile web browser, for example). For more information about the stand-alone Flash Lite player, see About the stand-alone Flash Lite player.

As of this writing, the Flash Lite stand-alone player is not pre-installed on any globally available devices. You can purchase the stand-alone player for development purposes from the Adobe online store at www.adobe.com/go/store.

Regionally available devices that support Flash Lite comprise a larger group of devices than are available globally. As of this writing, these devices are available primarily in Japan and come with Flash Lite pre-installed. On these devices, Flash Lite enables several different types of content, such as Flash screen savers or animated ring tones. For more information about Flash Lite content types, see About Flash Lite content types.
