Flash Lite 3 on UIQ 3.0

Posted by DaMuffinMan | 14.4.08 | , , , , | 7 comments »


Just in case you're wondering what the image is all about, it's screenshots I captured from the upcoming Sony Ericsson G900's whitepaper. It's extremely interesting how SE mentioned "Flash Light 3" twice in the whitepaper (ignore the typo for the time being) - clearly it's Flash Lite 3 being mentioned here, as Flash can allow for the viewing of TV on the mobile phone.

The point I'm trying to get at is that the G900 runs on the UIQ 3.0 platform (Symbian OS v9.1), and if Flash Lite 3 will run on the G900, then it will run on all of SE's other UIQ 3.0 platforms - the P1, W960, M600, W950 and the P990.

You can obtain the SE G900 whitepaper here. Seems rather strange as to why Sony Ericsson took it down from their official site...

Many of us are impatient for it, Sony. And please, PLEASE, don't make us buy the G900 just to get that upgrade.

    This looks promising...

    Hopefully it will be available for older UIQ 3 phones also.But knowing SE, am not very sure :)

    haha, well, that is the point of running a business, how else would they make you to spend more money on their products...

    LOL, its Flash Light, not Flash Lite, Flash Light is for viewing TV through TV signals, whereas Flash Lite is a patent by Adobe for SWF. Sad to say, it is not Flash Lite. The engineers at Adobe and SE are really *#$%?@.
