Boston, MA - May 25, 2006 -- Strategy Analytics, the global research and consulting company, recently released, "Flash-Enabled Handset Forecast: Flash Lite Ready for Global Penetration," from its Handset Component Technologies Service, pointing to the triple-digit growth rate in unit sales of Flash LiteTM -enabled phones over the last two years.

Stuart Robinson, Director of the Strategy Analytics Handset Component Technologies service, comments, "Since Macromedia (now Adobe) redesigned its highly-successful PC-based Flash technology for use on cellphones and other portable devices in 2003, demand has taken off. NTT DoCoMo in Japan offered the first Flash Lite-enabled handsets. They are now available on numerous wireless networks in the Far East, with plans to spread worldwide this year."

Stephen Entwistle, Vice President of the Strategy Analytics Strategic Technologies Practice adds, "Over 100 handsets that support Flash Lite are already available or pre-announced. The top seven handset manufacturers and several others have signed up with Adobe to license Flash Lite on their handsets."

This report provides regional forecasts for Flash Lite-enabled handsets and a list of all known devices supporting Flash Player SDK and Flash Lite.
