Flash Lite: Video for Dumb Phones

flash video 

Video on mobile handsets will take off with the upcoming initiatives from Adobe.  Bill Joll, CEO of On2 explain the future of Flash on mobile and other devices.

To further extend the reach of Flash viewing, phones will have chips that allow them show these files. On2 Technologies, whose encoding software is part of Flash ecosystem, is finalizing the acquisition of Hantro of Finland.  The Finnish concern implements video compression for numerous handset makers including Nokia, Sanyo and others.

So, we really don’t need expensive smart phones to see videos!!
I really believe as like as PC flash video will rock in mobile devices, just we have to wait for the future.
