Indeed. Have they received placement on any at all, even? I know from
some work we did with Vodafone that the whole area of console systems
development for handsets is very complicated, both from a
marketing/revenue generation angle as well as with soft/hardware
constraints. I would not expect to see Flash, or being able to code
applications for FlashLite, in the near future, but I don't know how far
down the line MM is with this.
