Even if Silverlight was added , Microsoft will offer Flash and PDF reader from Adobe too , announced today the two companies. Microsoft is using Adobe Flash Lite licence, and the cellphones with Windows Mobile can view Flash content in Internet Explorer Mobile web browser . Microsoft also got licence for Adobe Reader LE , software used to view PDF documents . Now anyone who has Windows Mobile 6 will run the internet and view flash content and pdf documents .
Even so , the hard part starts now , cause the two companies ( Adobe and Microsoft) will have to colaborate and update the software . Adobe hopes that Flash and PDF versions for Windows Mobile will be available until the end of 2008 . At this moment Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and LG are producing and developing phones with Flash Support. We are thinking why Apple ( iPhone ) isn’t on that list … we think they must join them soon .
