Adobe Flash Lite is a lightweight version of Adobe Flash Player, a software application published by Adobe Systems. This version is intended for mobile phones and other portable electronic devices like Chumby and iRiver, and allows users of these devices to view multimedia content and applications developed using Adobe’s Flash tools, which had previously been available only on personal computers.
Flash Lite is a development technology implemented at the client-side, or user interface layer. Recent changes to ActionScript allow Flash Lite to better integrate with and even compete with device-layer technologies like Java ME and BREW.
Flash Lite should not be considered a mobile operating system like Symbian OS, Windows Mobile, or iPhone OS: it is a technology for developing applications that run on a mobile operating system.
