The fact that FlashLite embeed SVG Tiny does not mean that they are not competing…In fact, I think that it’s a way for Adobe to fight SVG. But others (like Ikivo) are provinding SVG implementation.

Actually, the SVGT component in Flash Lite is optional, and I’m not sure any of the FL 1.1 shipment in phones actually embeds it. I think there really is a debate around SVGT vs. Flash Lite, just like there is JME vs. FLash Lite. In my opinion, the main advantage for SVGT is its integration in different platforms and with different standards. SVGT can be used seamlessly within XHTML, or JME (JSR 226), or S60 (Scalable UI APIs), BREW, etc. In contrast, Flash Lite’s architecture is monolithic and stand-alone, so there are two different approaches to a similar problem space.

lack of experimented designer? Because of the similarities with HTML, XML, JavaScript, CSS, etc. coding with SVG is not all new.
Though Flash has had some more years and therefore tools, the SVG spectrum is growing and filling fast: see http://svg.startpagina.nl
