At first I was excited. Then reality kicked in. Save the excitement for another day, because unless the heavy lifting (rendering) is done on outside servers like how Opera does it, there is NO WAY IN (hot place where bad people go) the blackberry as is could do this.

This IS good news, but for the future, with a better device, and a web kit browser maybe.

Still, it's about freakin time!

HEL L yes about time flash comes to mobile devices.

This would be a major step in the right direction.

Don't we need a good native browser first?

They're working on that too. That's why RIM bought Torch Mobile, remember?

I've just bought a 8900. What will this mean to me? What will it change that I can't do already?

Thanks.

Thanks.

You will be able to access web sites that require flash (such as Youtube for example)

This is defenitly a step forward...

Step Forward Yes. But again this is rim taking a step not a network. flash along with video and images require a lot of bandwidth to stream or download. So yeah this is a step in the right direction this is no giant leap for mobile browsing...
