Microsoft to back Flash

Microsoft has decided to support Adobe's Flash technology on its Windows mobile platform apart from its own Silverlight multimedia technology.
This is part of the software major's attempt to promote interoperability for rival systems and stave off criticsm that it is not doing enough on that front.
As part of this,Microsoft has licenced Adobe Flash Lite,the Flash player for mobile devices,and LE software,which will enable Windows Mobile users to view PDF documents.
This means that Windows Mobile users will be able to view rich web content through Internet Explorer using either Flash or Silverlight.
Similarly, Microsoft has made available both Live Search and Google Maps on Windows Mobile phones.
