Adobe Systems today unveils Flash Lite 3, bringing Flash Player compatible video and Flash-enabled Web site browsing to mobile devices through device manufacturer and application developer partners including Nokia and NTT DoCoMo.

In terms of media capabilities, Flash Lite 3 “brings us as close as ever to the desktop player—effectively one release behind” the desktop version, says Anup Muraka, director, technical marketing, mobile and devices, for Adobe, describing release 3 as “a major upgrade.”

Nokia initially will target Flash Lite 3 to its S60 Smartphone and then to other devices. The partners additionally “have moved to foster the entire ecosystem,” says Christian Buchbauer, alliance director.
