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?
Nice!!!
That just about seals the deal for me.
Yea this thing is looking better and better. Just need a solid release date…
Wow a mobile phone that supports flash?
Who would have thought such a thing possible?
Does apple know of this development?
Quick. File a Patent!!
Not jumping for joy here, but it will directly result in exponentially less whining.
Now we can get back to focusing on real issues like no copy-paste for the iPhone, de-nutted Verizon PDAs, no Fabulous 5 for ATTWS, and data outages across the wireless provider world.
I want it…
Yesterday.
I’m throwing my curve against a wall the day this phone comes out
Flash + touchscreen LCD + Sprint data plans = one dead Pre battery
Just makes me want a Pre even more!!1
Nick – give up your HTC Touch Pro 2 and get a Pre..!
I may have to ditch the bb storm for
This one.
This is all looking great…except that it’s on Sprint’s network.
Now that’s fu*kin PROPER!

Seriously WTF is wrong with some of you? Only problem its on Sprints network, wtf? There isn’t anything wrong with Sprint! GOI!
I’ve been following this phone and while all the features just scream awesome, at the end of the day, I just can’t get excited for a Palm device

Sprint’s network is fine with me, covers me from Phoenix to Atlantic City and everywhere in between.
My BB Curve is awesome but I think its time to renew my love of Palm.
any phone that does not support flash is pointless in todays technology
Now I know why the fancy charger, I’ll need a few, and one for the car!
@YoungC
So almost every phone ever released is pointless (including the iPhone, any blackberry, and the G1)?
Now the million dollar question is will this phone save Sprint or Palm from going under or both. Sprints been lossing subs ever since it got nextel and palm which was known for their OS now seems to put windows mobile on ever new palm handheld.
@Joe
Let me correct myself I am saying high end phones that dont support Flash are pointless,
and FYI you can download Skyfire on a WM or Symbian platform. Blackberry has a workaround
I had a G1 for 3 weeks cant live without flash
and yes the iphone should be a doorstop. apple piece of trash.
