Verizon Wireless to Use Flash Lite Tech

Adobe said Wednesday that Verizon Wireless would become the first US wireless carrier to announce availability of Flash Lite content on its network. The BREW-enabled player would allow the technology to be used on almost any Get It Now-enabled phone, the two companies said. The first phones to support the technology would be the LG VX9800, Motorola Razr V3c and V3m, and the Samsung SCH-a950.

Verizon said the company plans to add additional handsets to the list in the coming weeks. Content would be purchase through the Get It Now virtual store. "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," it said in a statement.
