A breaking news came up from the last Boston MaDUG eSeminar (you can find the recording here): Mark announced that Adobe dropped the Flash Lite Distributable Player. The distributable player mission was to enable developers to create rich applications for the latest version of Adobe® Flash Lite® and directly distribute their content to millions of open OS smartphones. It seems that Adobe's focus at the moment is on Flash 10.1 for the mobile browser, Air Mobile for standalone and Flash Lite 4 for the embedded low end devices, plus the iPhone.
I really hope that Adobe's strategy is to develop a more stable and robust solution for standalone content distribution (AIR mobile?). Another weird news is that at the same time also Forum Nokia and Kuneri dropped their online packaging solutions, maybe both news are related?
A sure thing is that there was a little buzz around the news in the flash mobile community and you can carry on the discussion also with: Alessandro, Mariam, Philippe and BlocketPC.
