I started off this morning with Flash 2.0 Evolution by Bill Perry. Bill showed how Flash Lite has developed from a basic animation tool to a full featured content layer for creating rich mobile games and applications. This was also the first time that he publicly showcased the next version of Flash Lite 2.

There are also some really nice features that have been missing from previous versions of Flash Lite such as embedded Video support and the ability to store data locally on the device.
