Adobe Launched Flash Lite 3 for mobile phones to more closely resemble the desktop flash player.

“ADOBE MAX 2007, CHICAGO – October 1, 2007 —Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq: ADBE) today announced the availability of Adobe® Flash® Lite™ 3 software, which now supports Adobe Flash Player compatible video and enables the delivery of dynamic Web content on mobile devices. Flash Lite 3 allows mobile device manufacturers, operators and content providers to differentiate their offerings by giving users the ability to watch Flash Player compatible video, the world’s most popular video format, and browse Flash enabled Web sites when integrated with a mobile Web browser. Both NTT DoCoMo and Nokia committed to deliver Flash Lite 3 enabled devices in upcoming releases of handsets. With over 300 Million Flash enabled mobile devices and handsets shipped so far, Adobe expects more than one billion Flash enabled devices to be available by 2010.”

One Billion might be a lofty goal or not, considering how many handsets they are world wide.  But this is defiantly a big step for everybody wanting to be able to play flash videos and content on their mobile phones.  All mobile phones are trying to take a step towards being more internet friendly and this will be a big step.
