What's New in Flash Lite 3?
Adobe is pleased to announce the arrival of Flash® Lite™ 3. New key features of Flash Lite 3 include video (FLV) support, improved web browsability with support for most Flash 8 content, and improved performance. Flash Lite 3 devices are expected to begin shipping in late Q4/early Q1.

For more information, please visit
Getting Started with Adobe Flash® Lite™
and Mobile & Devices Developer Center.

The Developer version of Flash Lite 3 is coming in late November. The Flash Lite 3 developer edition is a standalone player and will allow developers to test and play back SWF files that are published as Flash Lite 3. Note that the Flash Lite 3 developer edition does not support the mobile phone web browser as a plug-in, or other content types such as wallpapers and screensavers. It is meant only for developers and not for consumers to download.
