Adobe announced in February this year that its latest version of Flash Lite 3.1 Distributable Player has been released for beta testing.
This new player will enable developers and integrators to create rich, expressive applications targeted to the latest version of Adobe’s Flash technology, with the ability to distribute their apps including the runtime installer to millions of open OS mobile devices with a streamlined workflow and reduced time to market.
For now, the distributable player is only available on Nokia S60 and Windows Mobile devices, but more devices are to follow very soon…
So you have finally done it, you are a freelancer or have set up your own little design agency and you have your first clients with jobs coming in.

What good is a website that looks great but can hardly be found?
