Microsoft Licenses Adobe

You can now use Adobe Flash and Reader programs on cell phones that run Windows Mobile. Microsoft expects that 22 million phones will be made that run the Windows Mobile OS and some 500000000 devices with Flash preinstalled, at a 150% year over year growth rate. It's nice that the Adobe software will be free and Microsoft is picking up the bill. Personally, I think it's a way to get around the antitrust litigation because Microsoft also has Silverlight which is a competitor to Flash, but this is a nice olive branch.
