Wed Oct 25, 2006 11:43 am

Verizon Wireless today announced that "Flash Lite for BREW," developed by Adobe Systems and Qualcomm, will allows Flash content to run on its high-end phones.

Allowing customers to purchase applications and automatically "Flash enable" their phones, software will be upgraded over-the-air with an automatic download when a customer accesses Flash-enabled content. In tandem with the rollout, Verizon is introducing enhanced content including new video games from Shockwave and graphic-rich applications from The Weather Channel and MovieGoer from Zingy.

The Verizon Wireless and Adobe relationship leverages the Flash ecosystem by offering maximum flexibility to the mobile developer community to create content including Flash applications, screensavers and casual games for the BREW solution.

Flash Lite for BREW utilizes the key features and benefits of the Flash authoring tool and the BREW platform, providing developers with a clear path to market for content distribution.

So... will this work on either all Verizon Wireless customers, or on specific phones, such as the LG VX-9800, as an example? Also, what features will everyone (or to say, at the most) receieve? What are the advantages and/or disadvantages of using it?

What would be the possible charges while using the application, or whatever you call it? Does one have to have a data plan (Internet-enabled) for this to work? What if some people wanted to use it but doesn't have a data plan?

If I'm missing other stuff or whatever... let me know. Thanks.

Gawd, fuck flash media content!

I'd much rather have the integral ability to conveniently flash my phone icon_wink.gif
