It seemed to be somewhat popular in Japan. Why Macromedia / Adobe Flash Lite? has been involved with Macromedia / Adobe Flash since 1999 (founding year of our company - some of us have experience with Flash couple of years before that; Flash was based on FutureSplashAnimator): during the time we have written 2 books on Flash (published by Docendo, only in Finnish), have done adver, single player & multiplayer games / multimedia / websites / consulting / other work-for hire for companies and organizations: standalone, web, mobile, database driven, xml driven - you name it, we have probably done it . Those games are mostly Flash Lite 1.1., some of them are 2.1. that paid the bills), but it seemed like a good idea to do Research & Design as Flash Lite seemed to be a thing for the near future. (to be continued very soon - with years 2005 onwards!) As that will be a public document, we decided to publish it here as well - well, at least a more informal version of it, and not so short - actually, this will be an account of Aniway’s Flash Lite history & present & bit about the future as well Word of warning: if you are looking for market speech about how lovely & succesful Flash Lite is, you might not want to read this; although we love Flash Lite, we are Finns and blunt when push comes to shove. Flash Lite game and content market, perspective of a developer Our present with Flash Lite: We have developed a portfolio of Flash Lite games during the past. ) asked us to write a short summary on how we (Aniway Ltd.) are viewing the mobile Flash Lite game market currently & in the past, for his thesis.

to iPhone Flash coming the
If we think only in number of devices out there, iPhone should have no impact on the Flash Lite ecosystem; but it might very well be that the reality is different — currently Flash Lite is (still) suffering from “device base too small” syndrome amongst the distribution channels, and hence Flash Lite applications or games are not gaining visibility or marketing support in the field. But with a single platform like iPhone, a good Flash Lite application might be succesfully distributed, thus increasing the faith in Flash Lite platform among the developers and distributors alike. Hope Flash comes to iPhone soon, and you all will make some success stories So, in comparison to the volumes of Flash Lite enabled phones that for example Nokia is selling, 5 or 10 million isn’t really that much. According to this article by Gearlive.com, Flash is finally making it’s way to the iPhone. There is no official confirmation for this, let’s hope this is for real. Do keep in mind, that although iPhone is a favourite pet of press worldwide, the sales have been about 5 million devices - and Apple’s target is 10 million.
