According to allaboutsymbian.com, AT&T will be distributing the Nokia 6650 smart phone. This is significant because the 6650 is a S60 v3 fp2 phone supporting Flash Lite, and also should support Nokia WRT applications. There are few models of s60 phones in the US market, with AT&T being the only network that currently carries the platform.
French manufacturer Archos, has announced its latest generation of PMP devices which they refer to as “Internet media tablets”. These touch screen devices offer a wide range of media playback, entertainment and internet capability through Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity. These devices support Flash 9 in the Opera browser which also supports widget applications.
For business purposes, I maintain a database of Flash Lite devices sold by network operators in the North American market. I find it useful to keep track of Flash Lite enabled devices for each network, Flash Lite versions and also the Flash Lite implementations generally available in the NA market (both USA and Canada). In addition to the large networks, there are a quite a few small regional GSM operators and some virtual networks that sell Flash Lite phones.
Today, I registered as a developer with the new T-mobile developer site. While going through the registration process I was suprised to find that T-mobile is listing Flash Lite as a technology category, along with Java, mobile web and others. Verizon is the only other NA market carrier that specifically lists and supports Flash Lite from its developer site.
