Flash on the BlackBerry?
According to a leak from RIM the company is planning to release full Flash support on the BlackBerry platform – this will bring it closer to desktop browsing than any other mobile smartphone. Even the iPhone only offers Flash Lite which often means “Flash not working”.
RIM is even hoping to offer Microsoft Silverlight support so there are definitely things to look forward to in the world of BlackBerry applications in the future!
From the original Boy Genius report:
You know when the word “planning” is used in the same sentence as RIM, however, that it probably means it’s a while away. And it is. We’ve been told this won’t happen until next summer or right before it as RIM needs their devices to be more beefed up as well as have access to higher data speeds for this to work effectively (HSPA and LTE). RIM has already achieved over 10Mbps downloads on next generation BlackBerrys in the test labs with test LTE equipment so it’s looking good, folks.
Fingers crossed…
