[...] Microsoft Adopts Flash Lite For Windows Mobile As a Stopgap Measure Flash Lite for mobile phones might not be good enough for Steve Jobs, but Microsoft is less picky. It is licensing Flash Lite for Windows Mobile. This is an acknowledgment of two things: there are a lot of developers and existing Websites out there that work with Flash, and the mobile version of Microsoft’s own competing Silverlight software is nowhere near ready to be deployed.

Erick Schonfeld of TechCrunch reports that Microsoft Adopts Flash Lite For Windows Mobile As a Stopgap Measure. For those not keeping track of this, Adobe stopped supporting flash on Windows Mobile some time back. And now it looks like Microsoft ha…

Why would adobe give them the license when its just a stepping stone for Microsoft to beat them? I’m tired of Adobe making stupid moves left and right. They are acting like a behemoth company unable to adjust to the reality of the new web world. They are just plain lost.

@15. Sean
Hoho is right, I’ve noticed that too. Having said that, this just indicates that TC must grow, get some more editors to bring on better and more stories or probably do like webworkerdaily( http://webworke...aily-is-hiring/ )

Find some bloggers to write about the less important news while mike and erick dig out the breaking and origibal stories. if TC start losing readers, the empire will fall.

You’re right in saying it’s just a matter of hours but this is how things start…min..hours ….days until it falls into residue.

Sure Mike will find the right formula.

Hey Moderator!

The linkifier missed the space in that URL (my bad!). Can you please add a %20 before the ‘blows’? And of course, don’t publish this!

Hey T. Man

If you think http://www.iopu...v6/silverlight/ is a brilliant example of Silverlight in action, I only have one (Flash made) thing to say…

Hoho quit your whining.., competition is a great thing, just like Silverlight vs. Flash

TC, GigaOM, Venturebeat, etc are great not just because of breaking news.., but acting as precise aggregators of tech related news. Instead of me having to read 20 sites.., I just have to ready through 4/5 to get the daily gist of what has happened.

Michael, thanks for pointing out the HUGE leap with the latest SL2 beta 1 release. The controls released are pretty nice as well as the “deep zoom” integration and built in smarts for serving video that removes one more thing a developer has to worry about. You pointed out you like doing C# more than JS.., dont forget you can program in C#, JS, and IronPython.., and I would not be suprised if they add other languages/flavors in the mix down the line.

@9. Hoho

Out for ‘hours’? Honestly, does it really matter if you find out about this 90 minutes later than the next guy When they’re days late to story, then I’ll care.
