Nokia has signed an agreement with Macromedia to integrate Flash technology into the Series 60 platform as well as extending it to their other platforms in the future. As part of the agreement, Macromedia will build a Flash player for Series 60 which can be included in future handsets built on the platform. Operators and developers will then be able to build applications and web services for smartphones by using Flash. In Europe, T-Mobile has already launched a news magazine for Series 60 phones using Flash.
