89 Nokia Devices Support Flash Lite
Nokia N96For those of you keeping count there are 89 Nokia devices that ship with a version of Flash Lite pre-installed with 45 of them based on Symbian S60 and 44 based on Nokia Series 40 platform.  Further breaking them down looks like this:
  • Flash Lite 3 = 18 models
  • Flash Lite 2.1 = 20 models
  • Flash Lite 2.0 = 21 models
  • Flash Lite 1.1 = 30 models
Over the weekend I've added 4 new Nokia Series 40 devices to my Flash enabled handsets spreadsheet and you can download it here on my site or from the Adobe mobile and devices development center.

It's important to note that all new shipping Nokia Sybmian S60 devices will have Flash Lite 3 pre-installed and some of the devices that are listed are announced but not yet shipping.  For example the N96 is a Symbian S60 device that will have Flash Lite 3 pre-installed and is supposed to ship later this year.  It's listed in the spreadsheet because it's been publicly announced and gives developers an idea of the device roadmap for the OEM, in this case Nokia.

One thing to note is I did not add the Nokia N800 and N810 Internet Tablet devices to the spreadsheet since they don't offer any type of cellular coverage and are not considered mobile phones.  If you think those two and other non-pc devices should be included in this spreadsheet let me know.

Hi Bill,

Any chance that the Flash Lite 3.0 fragmentation issues (mostly regarding the security model) will be sorted before the new Nokia FL3.0 devices ship?

Peter

Yes, I think you should start adding other Flash enabled Non-PC devices (embedded and other portable form factors) to this list, such as the N810.

Right now, the list favors handset manufacturers specifically ... which is fine in terms of #'s, but not a lot of folks are familiar with some of the Flash enabled non-mobile devices ... so it would be great expand the sheet.

FYI: Perhaps Anand at www.embeddedFlash.com would be a good additional resource.

This list is very useful. I noticed that the device list says there are 71 Sony Ericsson models that support Flash, but you only list 56 devices in detail. Is this a mistake?

*bnjammin - the PDF for SEMC devices was cut-off and didn't have the other devices on there. I've updated it the PDF and it has all 71 SEMC devices now.

Yes Bill.

Please include non-mobile phone devices in the list such as the PSP, the Nokia Linux tablets, the Chumby & the iRiver. We are, after all talking about Flash mobile & devices, not Flash mobile phones.

As a Flash Application developer who's been touting flash's ubiquity and cross-platform compatibility, it's very important to show the broad range of devices that flash runs on, because that's one of its key selling points.

This means we can sell games to users that run on both the iRiver and mobile phones, etc, and I think users will like that.

It would be really great if we could see windows mobile and windows ce devices that support flash on the list, Bill.
