JD, here is some information on SVG Tiny in Japan.
Sharp Corporation has released 5 devices on the Vodafone K.K. Network in Japan that have the BitFlash SVG Tiny player that suports SVG Tiny 1.1. V601SH, V602SH, V603SH, V802SH, V902SH. The NEC 802 also has SVG support. The Sony Ericsson V800 and Motorola 3G devices on the Vodafone K.K. Network ship with the Ikivo viewer - I think. KDDI AU has added the BitFlash SVG Tiny 1.2 viewer to their Keitai Office application to enable office document viewing for email attachments. This viewer is offered as a BREW download and available for 11 handset models. Japanese press http://www.itmedia.co.jp/enterprise/mobile/articles/0502/24/news081.h tml English Press http://www.bitflash.com/news/press_release_item.asp?intPress_ID=26 The main purpose is for viewing office documents converted from MS Office and PDF to SVGT with the BitFlash transcoding server but the SVG Tiny viewer is compliant to SVG Tiny 1.1 and has many SVG 1.2 features.
