Flash Lite 2.1 for Windows Mobile 5.0 and CDK - Now Available
Flash Lite PlayerAs of this evening, the Flash Lite 2.1 for Windows Mobile 5.0 devices is now available for free. This player will work on Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone and Pocket PC devices. The Flash Lite 2.1 player is based on the desktop Flash Player 7 and has a lot of features that mobile developers can take advantage of.

Flash Lite 2.1 Standalone Player for Windows Mobile 5.0 Devices
To install the player, download the .cab file from the Adobe site, copy it to your device and finish the installation on your device. Keep in mind that this is a standalone player and not an ActiveX control - meaning that you can view SWF files using the standalone player but not SWF files embedded in HTML pages via Pocket IE.

Flash Lite 2.1 CDK for Windows Mobile 5.0
Download the CDK to get started with developing Flash Lite applications and content specifically for Windows Mobile 5.0 devices. This CDK is an addendum to the existing Flash Lite 2.0 CDK so make sure you have that as well.

Support and questions
First make sure you take a look at the Adobe Flash Lite 2.1 Open OS FAQ for answers to any questions you may have. If you still have questions about the installer, player or CDK you can post them in the Adobe Flash Lite: Windows Mobile forums.

Hi, I can't find the free Flash Lite 2.1 Standalone Player for Windows Mobile 5.0 Devices. There is some problem or it's only my own fault?

Hi.

Is there a forum for this stuff? Wouldnt have to bother you on your blog :-)

I'm trying to do a YouTube interface on my Windows Mobile 5 smartphone.

I installed both the standalone player and the Pocket IE embedded player, expecting to be able to browse youtube.com afterwards.

The youtube webpage complains that my flash player is too old, and when I copy the URL to the flash object (http://www.youtube.com/v/vJdvDrI1SHQ) the swf downloads and the standalone player launches, but the video dosen't play.

It just says loading... and then presents the watch again link.

Will you point me to a support forum where I can work this out?

Thanks!

Sorry Bill,

I found this:

But how is it that Verizon plans to distribute youtube content? Have they built thier own player?

Thanks for your insight!

I did a search looking for a way to show youtube videos on my windows mobile device and learned that Youtube uses flash 8 and flash lite 2.1 is too old to display the videos.
