Adobe Systems has announced the availability of the Adobe Flash Lite 3.1 Distributable Player, a new, over-the-air mobile runtime. The new player enables developers and content providers to create Flash technology-based applications that target the latest version of the runtime, and directly distribute their applications with the runtime installer to millions of open OS devices for a better on-device user experience. Available immediately as a public beta, the Distributable Player initially supports Nokia S60 and Windows Mobile devices and builds on the momentum Adobe Flash technology has experienced in the mobile market.

The Adobe Flash Lite 3.1 Distributable Player provides new delivery and monetization options for Flash technology-based mobile applications. Using the new runtime, aggregators enable content creators to deliver their applications to mobile users via their Web catalogs. Content creators can also choose to distribute their applications via their own promotional vehicles or their existing distribution channels.
