As we understand it this is due to their new focus on music as a business rather than applications. As you know the Distributable Player enables users to download the FL3.1 Standalone player, and so a low number of users is merely indicative of unsuccessful marketing of the apps. In the US market where Thumbplay do business there are 8.01m+ compatible devices that can use this solution (ComScore July'09). The link in the packager has not been removed because this field is not dynamic, we would have to rebuild the tool. At this time we're not interested in doing that because we intend to transition the product to a partner. Details of that will be announced soon. Mark Hi Steve,

According to them they no longer sell flash lite apps due to the low number of users with standalone flash lite capability. They were under the impression that no links for flash lite uploading even still existed. Why then is this still an active link in the packager? Since getjar is for free apps it makes Flash Lite seem to be a non-entity for American commercial app development.

I think this is a pretty good number and it's running at 1000+ downloads per day, which equates to applications entering the market. Mark Hi Bill,

So if the 100k is just the number of successful downloads of the packaging tool, do you guys track the number of requests for downloading the FL player from Adobe's server as part of the version checking code that's in the device installable files? thanks for sharing Mark.
