Flash Lite 3

The mobile flash player, Flash Lite 3, is "expected to be available in the first half of 2007". The major feature it introduces is support for the Flash Player video format, which ensures video format portability across phones. Compared to Flash Lite 1.x and 2.x, the formats they currently support are only those natively supported by the phones.

I hope FL3 will also introduce access to some fundamental functionalities to the underlying mobile phones, such as API for the camera, bluetooth, SMS, etc., eliminating the need to write platform specific workarounds. This will make FL3 a much more exciting platform beyond games and multimedia players.
