Apple CEO Steve Jobs believes that flash is not good enough, so he refuses to apply it on the iPhone, but Microsoft does not think so. To defend against the iPhone, Microsoft will permit Adobe Flash Player-Flash Lite technology to be applied on Windows Mobile. In this way, you can select from Silverlight and falsh.

On Monday, Adobe announced that Microsoft would allow Flash Lite technology to be applied to IE browsers on Windows Mobile. This transaction also includes: Microsoft also licensed Adobe Reader LE software, Windows Mobile users can also watch PDF files, and Windows Mobile users can send attachments when sending emails, you can download an attachment in pdf format.

Amazing mobile Web experience

General Manager of Microsoft Mobile Communication Department- John O 'Rourke indicates that the Flash Lite technology will give Windows Mobile users a shocking experience they have never experienced, and bring a new mobile entertainment experience.
Apple rejects the application of Flash Lite technology on the iPhone. Earlier this month, Steve Jobs told the news media that Flash technology is not ready to be applied on the iPhone. At Apple's shareholders' meeting, he also said that Flash Lite is not powerful enough, and flash running on PCs is also very poor, and the speed is very slow. Steve Jobs told media's Dow Jone that Flash Lite is a transitional immature product.
Steve Jobs's decision disappointed most flash users, but developers expressed support. In their blog, they wrote that they should wait until there is a more powerful Flash technology, it is not too late to apply it to the iPhone when it brings a revolutionary experience to the iPhone.

Flash Lite won a huge victory

Sean Ryan, an analyst at the IDC enterprise research center, believes that Flash Lite technology is a huge victory! He added that although Apple refused to use Flash Lite technology, the iPhone maintained a high growth rate in the entertainment consumer goods market, including using the iPhone to watch YouTube videos online. He also noted that some sdks recently released by apple helped third-party developers develop new applications based on the iPhone platform.Program.
 
But there is a big problem with the video and entertainment applications of the iPhone, he said, the iPhone and other devices face the bandwidth problem. He pointed out that if the WI-FI is not available, the iPhone needs 3G network bandwidth support, but unfortunately the iPhone does not currently support 3G technology. Sean Ryan said that Microsoft's adoption of Flash Lite technology is actually part of its "Sustainable Partnership Competition Plan", and it is a coincidence that the competition is working together. However, from this incident, Microsoft is constantly improving its own Silverlight technology to shake the flash position.

However, it is obvious that Adobe is experiencing pressure from Microsoft Silverlight and iPhone exclusion. In a public statement, Adobe noted that Flash Lite technology has sold more than 0.5 billion mobile phones, with an annual growth rate of 150%. Note that this new technology can be applied to both Windows Mobile Platforms and Symbian s60,QualcommBrew and other embedded platforms.
