Flash Lite on 500m devices and on future Windows Mobile

Via Bill. Adobe has announced today that Flash Lite has now shipped on over half a billion devices, and with 150% growth over the past year they are on track to hit the 1 billion mark by 2010. This is an impressive number to trot out at your next business meeting when selling a Flash Lite option on your next mobile project. Backing it up with real numbers that the specific client can address can be a slightly different story, but overall it's another indicator that regardless of what the current climate is today, Flash Lite is only going to get bigger.

The other announcement is that Microsoft has licensed Flash Lite 3 and Reader LE for Internet Explorer Mobile on future versions of Windows Mobile, making the web experiences on these devices a hell of a lot more seamless than browsing the web on another popular device currently in the market!
