Adobe Systems has announced that Microsoft has licensed Adobe Flash Lite software. The solution, designed for mobile devices, will enable web browsing of Flash player compatible content within the internet Explorer mobile browser in future versions of Microsoft Windows Mobile phones.
Microsoft has also licensed Adobe Reader LE software for viewing Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) documents including email attachments and web content. Both Adobe products will be made available to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) worldwide, who license Windows Mobile software. The Flash Lite 3.x browser plug-in for Internet Explorer Mobile on Windows Mobile will provide users with access to rich and interactive Web content created using Adobe Flash technology. Adobe Flash powers many rich and engaging Web sites, applications and animations. Adobe Reader LE will allow Windows Mobile users to easily and reliably view and navigate rich PDF content using innovative features developed to improve document readability on smaller screens.
