Forecasted Installed Base of Flash Lite Devices by Region, Country and Version
FLash Lite Penetration by Country and Version

Here you go, a complete breakdown of the forecasted installed base of Flash Lite devices by region, country and version. The information in the PDF is extracted from the Strategy Analytics Flash-Enabled Handset Forecast from January 4, 2008 and provides metrics for the forecasted installed base of Flash Lite devices for the years 2007 and for 2008.

Developers, business owners and decision makers have been asking for this level of detail and we're glad to be able to share it. Six regions are covered: Americas, APAC (Asia Pacific), CALA (Central America/Latin America), Western Europe, Central Europe and Japan. Flash Lite versions include 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 2.1 and 3.0.

Here's a sample of the level of detail included in this PDF:
FLash Lite Penetration by Country and Version

We will be posting additional information on our mobile and devices developer center soon and I'll share that information once it's available.

Updated: I found a typo for the 2007 US total and have corrected the PDF. If you've downloaded the PDF before 7:10pm PST tonight then please download the zip file again - thanks.

Thanks Bill! This will surely be a very helpful resource for selling clients on Flash Lite development. Now we just need Verizon allow off-deck content...

great info Bill -- thanks for putting this together and for posting it. When you say "Flash Lite Devices", do you mean devices that support Flash Lite, or devices that ship with Flash Lite installed?

Thank you Bill! Good info!

Hi Bill, can you give us a bit of information about how this data is arrived at?

Just asking because I'm in the UK and there are at least 3 FL 2.1 Nokia devices on sale here (and hav been for a few months). In the PDF it has the installed base of FL 2.1 at 0 for both 2007 and 08. Can't speak for the other numbers but that figure is clearly wrong.

Thanks,

Wolf.

Ciao Bill,

are the numbers in 2007 just for the year or up to 2007?

Great info Bill. Just so others don't have to do the math, some summary info:

Flash Lite 1.0
2007 - 14,677,000
2008 - 9,251,000 (-37%)

Flash Lite 1.1
2007 - 196,518,000
2008 - 236,072,000 (+20%)

Flash Lite 2.0
2007 - 45,063,000
2008 - 153,389,000 (+240%)

Flash Lite 2.1
2007 - 26,780,000
2008 - 54,750,000 (+104%)

Flash Lite 3.0
2007 - 0
2008 - 5,188,000

As can be seen, FL2.0 is the fastest growth, but FL1.1 devices are still way on top, so don't ignore those in your development!

I'd like to know if the term 'installed base' takes into account decommissioned handsets (old ones that are thrown away)?

its good to see the figures, but it doesn't seem linked to the ability to make money. how come there are no more than a handful of FL publishers in the US, with a supposed base of 31M devices? since its 2.1, i guess they're talking about VRZN "potential devices that could support fl over brew"...
