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?

    ^The very moment you discontinue your propaganda campaign, I’ll consider your “suggestion”. Not a moment before. Until then … As always …

    … Fuck you, JizzBoy.

    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”

    Or you could just download Adobe Flash for Microsoft Windows Mobile: Professional Edition… I have it on MY Dopod 838Pro and i-mate Ultimate 9502.

    It’s also fully compatible with both Opera Software’s Opera Mobile and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer Mobile…

    dude you start before any extolling about Sprint/Palm begins and say the same shit each time claiming to be the great equalizer.

    @DonLuie:
    “Flash suppot on this is pushing Pre above all other smartphones and is going to have everyone stepping there game up.”

    Huh? I use flash on every windows mobile handset I have. Pre is joining the same group as Symbian 9 and Windows mobile 6.

    above “all other smartphones.” WFT?

    I know Palm and Sprint call this the iphone killer (yeah we’ve heard that before) but you are leaving out the biggest Smartphone OS there is, Windows Mobile, which sold 28 million units this past year.

    Ned I know other phone are cabable of Flash Lite but according to speculation the Pre will have it out the gate and I’m not discounting the fruit phone or WinMo just saying the Pre is going to make manufacturers move foward in thier thinking and that I like the Pre and how they are moving ahead on thier and oter innovations

    @DonLouie / aka MrMultiLoginBitch who backpeddled by stating: “Ned I know other phone are cabable of Flash Lite but according to speculation the Pre will have it out the gate and I’m not discounting the fruit phone or WinMo just saying the Pre is going to make manufacturers move foward in thier thinking and that I like the Pre and how they are moving ahead on thier and oter innovations”

    You’re an idiot … wrapped up in a douchebag.

    ^-You- appreciate nothing but the sound of your own vaccuous, jesus-cheerleading postings which take up gigs of bandwidth … -yet- contain no content worth remembering. Sad thing for you is that you’re not enough of a man to admit just how impotent your ‘content’ is … and only deflect when called on it. -THAT’S- the definition of a bitch. Your shit starts with you and no where else. Think you’re above being held responsible? … Not in a million years, bitchboy. The truth -never- changes.

    The truth is I never said no other phone could do Flash, the Pre will have is out the gate and I have admitted error before unlike admitting my “recollection is wrong” which classifies a person as an arrogant, hypocritical and stubborn jerk. The Pre isn’t the 1st of this kind of phone, the platform is and it’s hot. Palm did a good job

    ^Nice to see that you cannot/refuse to acknowledge that an admission of error -is- an admission of error. Not good enough for you, Princess? Too fucking bad. As always, your smug and self-serving ‘preferred’ definition only operates when it serves you. Fuck off, idiot.

    Claiming an unreleased platform (which has, apparently, gone into hiding) is ‘hot’ is a bit *Pre*mature, isn’t it, Bitchboy? And clearly, claiming something does -not- make it so. Oops! You did it again! Got stock in Kleenex?

    Where the link, you’re proficient with that when you think you have a a point. The Verizon Friends And Family thread is my recent proof that you will admit you’re recollection is faulty not you. Read my post carefully and then show a link where the Pre is stated as the only Flash and I will admit error, not that my recollection is in error

    ^By your twisted high school mentality, you observe a difference between an admission of an error in memory ["my memory was wrong"]… and -being- “wrong”? How’s the weather on Planet Moron today? ;)

    And that’s your entitled opinion which has reason to be knocked because it counts contradictory ones as invalid or meritless. Perception is reality which goes to say I’m probably percieved as someone who likes Sprint, values money saved, Palm, WebOS, mobile tv/radio and nav while you come as a polar opposite with a few other adjectives.

    ^Then again … there are those few [ ;) ] who are against CrapWare being forced onto our phones and OS … or ShitWare being forced onto our service plans [such as those 'Everything' plans].

    Then don’t get it, it’s about choice. Don’t use the entertainment and enjoy the savings, the big 2 have the same bundles they just cost more and none can be used with smartphones. Every article about Sprint/Palm turns into this. What’s crap to some is golden to others, I way more examples that don’t include the Everything plans but am trying to keep this about the Pre.

    No other carrier but your holier-than-thou Jesus-carrier forces one to get NFL-TV in order to get a preferred price on ‘Everything’. You fool no one. Never will.

    It’s -not- about “choice”. Your pathetic excuse for apologia is the same as blaming a customer for not shopping on the right day of the week in order to get a ‘preferred’ price on an item/service. It’s about vendors with integrity VS a vendor with no integrity [as well as its spineless cheerleaders].

    Fuck you, cunt.
