Earlier this week at FTIC Adobe showed a snap shot of its roadmap for mobile devices for next year. Included in the roadmap is Flash Lite 4, which is expected to be released only for low-end mobile phones and feature phones. This new of Flash Lite should be the first version to support ActionScript 3.0.

Adobe also plans on rolling out Flash Player 10 for more powerful smart phones such as those running Android. This version of the Player should be able to run all Flash movies running on normal desktops and should also include features such as hardware acceleration.

Air Mobile should also come out in 2010. This should come out as a standalone player that will enable running mobile applications.

The year 2010 should be interesting for Flash mobile developers. The support of ActionScript 3.0 in Flash Lite should finally make it possible for us to leave ActionScript 2.0 for good and enjoy the goodness of AS3 on all mobile devices.
