I think Symbian (S60) devices have had flash since 2004 or something and they've shipped tens of millions of devices since then. Also at least Nokia's Symbian devices are OMAP based like iPhone.
I'm not saying that Adobe's Flash has had a huge impact on the Symbian world, but just to get the facts straight.
- asmosoinio 16y agoYes and no: Flash Lite has existed there in the firmware for ages, but nobody is using it. It also cannot be utilized from the browser. Going all philosophical: If a software has zero users, does it still exist? EDIT: My view may be dated. I haven't checked what Nokia is offering through the ovi-system these days, could be that Flash Lite is actually somewhat widely used nowadays. Also: Flash Lite has existed also in Nokia Series 40 models ("standard phones", not smart phones) since 2007 or so...
- blub 16y agoI've just used Flash on my Nokia smart phone to view a flash-only website. Works out of the box.
- asmosoinio 16y agoReally, cool! What phone, what site? Gotta try it myself, I am supposed to know this stuff. :)
- blub 16y agoIt's a Nokia E72. The website was http://www.gerlinea.fr/ http://www.gerlinea.fr/. :)
- asmosoinio 16y agoThanks! I stand corrected. On my 6110 Navigator (S60 3rd ed feature pack 1) I get the "broken image icon", and clicking on it the phone tries to open it with it's FlashLite player and gives "Flash 8 not supported error". But as you said, works fine on E72, which is S60 3rd ed feature pack 2. I'm impressed!
- perokreco 16y agoYes, my N82 which several years old phone has flash which I use with no problem.
