Korean wireless carrier SK Telecom began shipping the SCH-S260 mobile phone yesterday. The new phone is the first in the Samsung line to feature the Macromedia Flash Lite Player. This follows Macromedia’s recent announcement of a strategic relationship with Samsung that will result in Macromedia Flash-powered Samsung phones throughout the world. The technology is being used to power the user interface for the phone – something that I find fascinating.

I can’t wait until the day that Flash developers can create their own UI skins for their phones using the Flash authoring tool.
