Adobe's new Flash Lite Numbers - Flash Lite shipped on 40% of new handsets in 2008

From Adobe @ Mobile World Congress

Some more numbers out of Mobile World Congress from Adobe - "Flash Lite has shipped on 1 billion devices (cumulative), and shipped on 40% of all new handsets in 2008".

I've said before how I think the 1 billion mark is a good number for marketing, but in reality is still a long way from representing a "standard". I think though for developers who are pitching Flash mobile application concepts and ideas to potential customers, the "40% of all new handsets on 2008" line provides an excellent counter point to the cumulative number, demonstrating that it's not a niche platform and is in fact picking up adoption speed very quickly. Expect these numbers to be significantly higher by next year with the introduction of Distributable Player.
