Nokia announced Forum Nokia PRO: Flash Zone, a new support program made possible by the collaboration of Nokia and Adobe, intended for Forum Nokia PRO companies who want to create Macromedia Flash applications for devices deployed by wireless operators worldwide.

The Forum Nokia PRO: Flash Zone will offer the member companies of Forum Nokia PRO that develop exciting Flash business, gaming, entertainment and lifestyle applications for Nokia mobile devices exclusive access to direct technical support and training opportunities from Adobe, as well as advanced business development opportunities. 

Forum Nokia PRO: Flash Zone joins other specialized developer offerings launched in 2005 - the Forum Nokia PRO Symbian Zone, the Forum Nokia PRO Enterprise Zone and Forum Nokia PRO Networks Zone. 

Utilizing Flash Professional 8 authoring tool, developers now can create new and exciting Flash Lite content and applications for deployment on mobile devices implementing Flash technology. The Flash Professional 8 authoring tool includes interactive device emulators that support over 90 different device profiles, making it easy for developers to build content once and test it for multiple device models, using preset and updatable profiles for devices enabled by Flash Lite.
 
Nokia's new Flash-enabled devices will enable consumers to download Flash entertainment, gaming, business and productivity applications over the air and to play Flash content stored in either onboard or removable memory. Flash applications can be dynamically updated with streaming data to the device from a remote server over an HTTP connection, pushing far beyond the boundaries of static screensavers, wallpapers and other non-Flash applications.
