Flash 10.1 Mobile, Air Mobile and Flash Lite content?!

Here is an interesting post about some issues about Flash 10.1 for Mobile and Flash Lite content.

“Adobe’s plans to ship a “full” mobile version of Flash 10 that only supports new 3.0 bytecode will suddenly obsolesce all existing Flash content that is more than a couple years old. That includes anything designed to work with Flash Lite, Adobe’s current mobile strategy. That will force mobile Flash developers to rewrite all of their Flash code in order for their content to work with the new mobile player, undermining a key reason for wanting to use Flash in the first place: its wide installed base.”

What is missing here is that Flash 10.1 will be a plugin for the mobile browsers on smartphones not for standalone content. It looks like that for standalone the content will be developed using Air Mobile technology. Same issue of backward compatibility since current Flash Lite content will not run on Air Mobile.

Here is a description where Flash 10.1, Flash Lite 4 and Air Mobile would fit.

Waiting for more information to understand better where everything fits!
