Microsoft has licensed Flash Lite for Windows Mobile

Great news for Flash Lite Developers alot of Windows Mobile devices may soon have Flash Lite running in the browser.

"The two companies are expected to announce Monday that Microsoft has signed a license to use Flash Lite and Reader LE in future Windows Mobile handsets as plug-ins for Internet Explorer Mobile. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, such as what the companies plan to do when Microsoft releases Silverlight for Mobile, a competing technology."

"Eventually, Microsoft expects to support both Flash Lite and Silverlight on its Windows Mobile handsets. "Flash is, for a lot of people, something they've already invested in," Snyder said. Having support for the incumbent while it tries to get Web developers on the Silverlight team makes sense; "it's good to have both," he said. "

You should correct your post, Microsoft has already licensed Flash Lite 3 and Reader LE from Adobe. The deal is signed by both companies.
