Palm Pre to support Flash

Palm Pre lovers, prepare to wet yourselves – the one many are calling the second coming of the Jesus phone will support Flash! That’s right, Palm announced that it has officially joined the rank and file of Adobe’s Open Screen Project, meaning that not only will the Pre be ready to surf websites sporting Flash animations, but the WebOS SDK might even allow developers to create unthinkably awesome Flash-based applications and shun that tired-old rhubarb that is java. What at say you, people? Are you jumping for joy or merely thinking about how many spare batteries and Touchstones you’ll need to have lying around to compensate for the battery-hungry monster that is Flash?

    What has 99.9% of all posts have do with Flash on the Pre? Kinda a simple subject which you continue to drone on about in off-topic ways. What else ya got, Sweetness? ;)

    What is wrong with you? The inability to speak -any- truth is mind-blowing.

    NFL Live is yet another low-value content provider that one still pays for, yet not as a line-item. Of course, it’s in ‘Everything’ plans to help give the illusion of alot for a little. The same way one gets ‘free’ Starz/Encore channels with cable/satellite. Big-fucking-deal. ;)

    Again, not address the lie in a Sprint thread not the Palm/Pre one? Do you have to turn everything related to Sprint into a bashfest

    Claiming one is guilty of a lie and providing the evidence thereof are 2 -very- different things, kid. Keep swingin’ for those fences cause you’re shit outa luck on both counts.

    Why so bitter?

    @ Don Louie- Dude, just give it up. No matter what rebuttal you answer this piece of shit to, he will never answer in a coherant thought, only spew more bullshit. While backbeat’s comments are very funny, it is totally useless arguing with lawn furniture. Just do what I decided to do: every time he responds, chuckle to yourslef at his patheticness, but don’t justify his childish behavior with a response, of else he will keep commenting back.

    @kevin who entered this thread topic by idiotically stating in his first post: “Whatever dude, you only have your poor little panties in a bundle because sprint and palm finally have something going for them. This phone will be a game changer from what I have seen of it. If you don’t like it, tough shit. But stop trolling and killing everyone else’s hype. BTW, what did sprint ever do to you, poor little Thang? : (
    Idiot.”

    Clearly, you have severely unresolved emotional issues. Physician, heal thyself.

    What I hilarious about all the rants is whenever anybody else has a positive thing to say about thier own experiences with Palm it turns into a Sprint bash mostly directed at me, my multiple names (Louie Cantone) thinking all good vibes come from my keystrokes. There has to be something about his multiple carriers does better than Sprint that her many employees/cohorts can attest to during all the defending of intelligence other than an insult.

    Do you read the context, the Pre will be on par and surpassing most North American phones at purchase w/o an app store but that’s coming too. If an attack follows get my name right and keep it on topic

    Your education is in question if the one word (think, after I in the 1st sentence) missed disqualifies the statement.

    @backbeat @Don Louie

    Enough is enough. If you insist upon continuing your exchange then please find another place to do so. The language you have been using is not tolerable.

    @Michael Bettiol: My sincerest apologies if these exchanges have crossed the line. Your site is an enormous resource and is highly appreciated.

    Having said that, there are some who refuse to treat it with any dignity, whatsoever, by continually posting virtual ads for their “carrier of choice” ad nauseum which is a thinly-veiled insult to each reader’s intelligence. I would welcome IP checks on those who make it their business to take up residence here for that purpose as well as my own use. As a continuing reader of your site, I can attest to the fact that I said nothing about this problem for a very long time before I realized that it went unchallenged or corrected. Your cure for this problem would be most welcome. I am not alone in this opinion.

    Thanks.

    And … by the way, DonLouie, (et al), simply keeping your head down low, as Trolls do when held responsible, is -no replacement- for a ‘cure’.

    I’m just sayin’ … ;)

    This needs to get back to the Pre, anymore goodness coming will add to the fun of unwraping it at purchase

    With as bad as Sprint service is in my area, not saying everywhere in the U.S. just my hometown, I’m tempted to get this phone. Maybe I’ll activate it, use it a week or two see if it’s as smooth as it seems, return it, then get it on att if/when a GSM version gets released.

    TRV$, you might be presently suprised by your experience if your coverage weren’t recent and if they were recent maybe not.

    Clean-up on Aisle 5, Michael. Which known troll was ‘SHO’, anyway? Inquiring minds want to know. ;)

    But, again, how is the Pre support of Flash news when it’s so commonplace elsewhere? Hardly-related discussion about this non-concern still produces posts 11 days after its ‘breaking story’? Really?
