SVG-Tiny (Scalable Vector Graphics), which offers rich vector-based images and animation using the open XML standard. Flash Lite also supports network connectivity (as does its larger desktop sibling), allowing a Flash or SVG-Tiny animation to access a remote server to download additional content on the fly as needed. The player supports several audio formats, including MP3 and PCM (the most common flavor of WAV file), and includes APIs to allow Flash content that can access MMS, dialing, network status, and other handset features.

Flash Lite 1.1 is available through handset makers and network carriers. So far Bellwave, NTT DoCoMo, Sony Ericsson, Symbian, Texas Instruments, and T-Mobile have all expressed varying levels of interest in the new software.">

	Flash Lite 1.1 with SVG-Tiny support	By Larry Garfield, Monday 28 June 2004

Macromedia has released version 1.1 of its Flash Lite player, targeted at mobile phones and smartphones. Flash Lite supports a subset of the proprietary Flash vector-based animation system, widely used on desktop-targeted web sites. The new version also adds support for the W3C standard SVG-Tiny (Scalable Vector Graphics), which offers rich vector-based images and animation using the open XML standard. Flash Lite also supports network connectivity (as does its larger desktop sibling), allowing a Flash or SVG-Tiny animation to access a remote server to download additional content on the fly as needed. The player supports several audio formats, including MP3 and PCM (the most common flavor of WAV file), and includes APIs to allow Flash content that can access MMS, dialing, network status, and other handset features.
