Distributable Player Update – 13 countries, 31 devices


I have some great news on our Distributable Player availability and our plans to scale the solution.  For the past couple of weeks I’ve been working with some of you to test the download of Flash Lite 3.1 over-the-air in your home countries.  That process has gone pretty well and collectively we’re confident that our solution can now scale quickly, we plan to add countries in batches of eight on a monthly basis.

We have added support for the player download in the following countries (I tried to enable the Flash version of this but WordPress is having none of it):

We’ve also been working hard on device certification and accelerating that program by adding the most popular S60 and Windows Mobile devices.  The list is now 31 strong and will grow continually at speed.

S60 Devices

  1. Nokia N78
  2. Nokia E65
  3. Nokia N95 8GB
  4. Nokia N95

  7. Nokia 6120 Classic
  8. Nokia E51
  9. Nokia N81 8GB
  10. Nokia E71
  11. Nokia N96
  12. Nokia N82

Windows Mobile Devices

  1. HTC-Pro S621(Same as T-Mobile Dash)
  2. HTC S740
  3. HTC Touch Cruise P3650
  4. HTC Touch Diamond
  5. HTC Touch P3452
  6. HTC TyTN II P4551
  7. Motorola Q
  8. Motorola Q9c
  9. Motorola Q9h (CDMA)
  10. Motorola Q9m
  11. Motorola Q Norman (same as Moto Q 9h(GSM))
  12. Palm Treo 700w

    Is the country “access” Adobe or opperator dependant? So will / could South Africa be added now Vodafone owns 65% of Vodacom

  • https://flashmobileblog.com Mark Doherty

    Hi Johan,

    We enable the download across networks from our content delivery network, the operator is irrelevant.. well unless they are doing something strange with their servers. We haven’t found any such problems, although Vodafone in Europe and India have been glitchy.

    Our intention is to add new countries progressively over the coming months, so I may well be in touch to ask you to run a few tests.

    Why is it when I try to run the update (through App. Update) for Adobe FlashLite 3.1 I get an error saying update failed?

    My phone is a Nokia 5800 and I am in Australia? Is this a problem for everyone – or just with my phone?

    Hi Belinda,
    The Flash Lite 3.1 update from Nokia is different from the Distributable Player, which is for standalone applications only. We do not replace or update the built-in Flash Lite players on devices, simply so that we don’t break anything.
