Starting this year and rolling into 2010, expect to seesmartphones, ranging from Google's Android platform to Windows Mobile, capable of displaying Flash-powered content and video in their Web browsers.

Adobe announced today that its Flash Player 10.1 for desktop PCs, netbooks, and smartphones is poised for launch, promising public betas of the Windows Mobile and WebOS (think Palm Pre) players by later this year. Android (Google) and Symbian(Nokia) support should come by early 2010, with BlackBerrys also on board.

The new Flash Player support such smartphone features as multi-touch gestures (such as "pinching" and "zooming" and accelerometers (for turning the screen to landscape mode), and that the player will be able to keep multiple Flash instances running on multitasking phones

i hope phone apps developers start workin on embedding this flash player in mobile apps, I cant wait to see Opera Mini displayin flash videos and content.

iPhone users are totally left out of this development cos Apple is ignoring the wishes of the masses of iPhone owners across the world and did not announce any plans to integrate Adobe Flash support onto its line of smartphones. In relation, this means that third-party browsers such as Firefox or Opera (besides being banned from the App Store because of duplicate functionality) won't be able to use Safari's built-in Java engine either.

It's all good, this will be so fascinating. Hope say den no go collect our money finish.

My phone has built in flash player. When browsing the net, some images are being display,rotating and moving. I can watch tv, video online with the help of the built in player.
I would love to have this latest built in adobe flash player smartphone oooo,

Can it work on nokia 6300?

Most Nokia smartphones out now already have flash in their default browser. It's just Flash in Opera that most Nigerians are interested in

Flash lite is not the same as Flash or Flash Player

Yes, your browser can display flash banners in webpages. Now try going to youtube.com to watch a video with your browser

@tope - the flash player would be comin only on nokia s60 platform. 6300 is s40 n has flash lite 2.0 preinstalled.

There is a clear differece btw flash lite n flash player. You can find flash lite on a wide range of phones, it is only capable of supportin .swf games like sudoku, wallpapers n screensavers.

With flash player, smartphone users will be able to watch online videos n tv on their default browser n a whole lot more of real time animations.
