Flash Lite 3 is on the way to be released in the next months. The more exciting feature will be the support for the "traditional" Flash video codecs (Flash Lite 2 only supported the external launch of 3gpp and mp4 videos). The subscribing of video should be accomplished by both progressive downloading and FMS streaming.

I hope (but probably this will be implemented in a future release) to find also a support for video grabbing directly from the integrated camera of the phone. In any case, think of the possibility of mobile interaction, game and communication that a complete exploitation of FMS could generate...

In the meanwhile, here in Italy, Vodafone has make the first HSUPA "call". HSUPA means High Speed Uplink Packet Access and is an evolution of HSDPA and UMTS.

Today Super UMTS (HSDPA) works at 3.6Mbit/s in download and 384Kbit/s in upload.

Tomorrow, HSUPA will offer 7.2Mbit/s in download and *2Mbit/s* in upload!.

I hope to put my hands on that technology very soon...and to be able to experiment with a new, and powerfull Flash Video centered mobile ecosystem.
