Today Wednesday March 28, from the CTIA Wireless show in Orlando, Adobe Systems Incorporated has named Verizon Wireless its exclusive wireless carrier launch partner in North America for delivering all new Adobe mobile applications. Additionally, Adobe announced that Verizon Wireless will be the first wireless operator in North America to bring Adobe FlashCast based data services to mobile subscribers, in the second half of 2007.

You can read the full press release here.

This is very exciting news and it's now the second implementation of Adobe's Mobile Technologies by Verizon Wireless. First it was Verizon Wireless supporting Flash Lite applications and content via their Get It Now content catalog back at MAX 2006 in October, and now today Verizon Wireless has announced that they will be using our Flash Cast technologies to bring engaging mobile experiences to their subscribers. This is in addition to some of their handsets like the Chocolate phone (LG VX8500) and others to come to market this year that have Flash Lite pre-installed and implemented by the OEMs as the UI.

So in terms of FlashCast we now have support by an operator in each main geography:
Verizon Wireless (North America)
NTT DoCoMo (Japan)
Chunghwa Telecom (APAC)
Telenor Sweden (Europe)

Over the next several months we'll have more details to share, but in the mean time if you have any questions please post them here and I'll do my best to answer them.
