Macromedia recently announced that its latest version of Flash Lite (a
limited Flash for mobile devices) was to support SVG Tiny 1.1, and
support it fully (though no one has yet been able to verify that
assertion). For a moment, the Web community wondered if they might be
playing nice at last, after yielding to massive pressure from the
mobile market to support W3C and 3GPP standards, or if they simply
meant to use SVG as a trojan to get Flash into mobile devices. An
article freshly published on Macromedia's web site clearly makes the
case that they're after the latter, speading as much FUD as possible
along the way. Thankfully, Antoine Quint decided to respond in a brief
O'Reilly Net article in which he debunks Macromedia's marketing lies
one by one, and expands on the wondrous features of SVG Tiny 1.1 and
the shortly upcoming SVG Tiny 1.2 that make people drool before their
mobile phones
