BIG NEWS: Nokia and Macromedia ink licensing deal

I know this has already been posted elsewhere, but it’s such big news that I have to add to the excitement.

In this recent press release Macromedia and Nokia announced:

…a licensing agreement that will integrate Macromedia Flash technology into Series 60 Platform. Series 60 becomes a reference platform for Macromedia’s mobile Flash technology, and Macromedia will implement new versions of its mobile Flash technology on Series 60. Nokia has also agreed to support Flash in its other software platforms.

This announcement follows an earlier announcement that Macromedia made a similar agreement with mobile phone manufacturer and tech giant Samsung.

It’s clear that Flash has finally made it’s big move as a major player in the mobile space. Now the most distributed rich client on the Internet has crossed the bridge to the mobile world. I’m glad I’ve been spending so much time researching mobile authoring features for Flash lately! :-)

    This announcement leaves one big question… how soon will we start seeing Series 60 phones with Flash?

    Hi -

    This has not yet been announced. Integration of the player onto Nokia phones is in process and should happen incrementally over the next year.
