Today there was the announcement of the new Nokia S60 5th Edition platform and the support of new services using Flash Lite 3.0. You can read more on the pdf document, but here is the Flash Lite information:

“Developers of Flash Lite from Adobe applications benefit from the UI enhancements in S60 5th Edition, with more screen real estate and touch interaction enabling users to more easily and intuitively navigate Flash Lite content and applications. The on-screen keyboard also is available for text and data entry.
S60 5th Edition continues to support Flash Lite 3.0, with the addition of ActionScript extensions to take advantage of S60 Platform Services. These extensions provide access to:

The application manager.
Calendar records.
Contacts records.
Log information.
SMS and MMS messaging.
The media gallery.
Device location.
Landmarks.
System information.
Sensors.

These new APIs enable Flash Lite developers to access device-application data, such as that held in Calendar and Contacts, as well as information on a device’s location.
Together, the UI- and platform-access enhancements will enable Flash Lite developers to create a completely new breed of context-aware applications and services that provide users with information unique to their own experiences.”

Sounds super cool, no docs yet on specific API (if they exists). Waiting for more information!!
