Verizon Wireless Get It Now Applications allow customers to flash-enable their phones

Verizon Wireless has jazzed up the capability of their phones even more today, with announcements of some new technological enhancements. The new technology, named Adobe Flash Lite, will beef up graphics and animation for Get It Now downloads, including games, ring tones and productivity applications.

The new jazzy content covers a lot of ground:

* The Weather Channel(R) - Download this easy to use, graphic-rich application from The Weather Channel to get forecasts, maps in motion and severe weather alerts. * NBC's The Office Games from Indiagames - Play as an office slacker and compete in different office-games that include waste paper basketball, balancing files, fighting a paper war, chair racing and table golf. * Jungle Jim(TM) and Extreme Hangman(TM) from SkyZone Entertainment - Play the world's two best time-killer games. The traditional hangman takes an absurd twist of comical proportions while Jungle Jim adventures through the jungle by swinging, hopping and avoiding obstacles. * MovieGoer from Zingy - Find a flick with just a few clicks with this nationwide source for movie show times, theaters, reviews, posters and more. * Shockwave(TM) Minis by Shockwave.com - Over 30 fun easy-to-play mini games - puzzles, sports, action and more, including Nickelodeon's "SpongeBob SquarePants" and MTV's "Pimp My Ride." Choose Shockwave Minis Unlimited for unlimited access to all the games for one low monthly subscription price, or Shockwave Minis Arcade to purchase credit packs redeemable for individual Minis.

The Get It Now applications are currently supported on 4 Verizon Wireless phones:

• The V (LG VX9800)
• Motorola RAZR V3c and V3m
• Samsung SCH-a950

If you have one of these phones, the technology should work now.
