It's no surprise that Apple is off the radar on this. Adobe and Steve Jobs have never had any love for each other. This is bad blood that goes way back before smart phones were even around.
The thing I see as the biggest problem with all this is what others have mentioned, and that is whether or not the flash player will be run by the blackberry or through the outside source that provides it. Which is why I am inclined to think that the skyfire browser will work more efficiently than releasing a flash player for blackberry browser. I really think that there needs to be a new browser in addition to the flash player, in order for optimum performance. Maybe not, the real problem with skyfire is when it will be released

First for those of you who want to know what flash will really do it will cange the face of the mobile browser the ability to goto web sites that require flash like my beloved movie site and then there are the apps the real apps that that can make you phone perform like well a laptop or if you have a really good smartphone and a good unlimited plan you basically have noneed of a desk or laptop you can not only use you phone as a modem but with adobe flash ooohhhh booooyyeeeee you can forget about comcast and at/t you'll be able to do everything the big computers can do and not get fired from work ok?lol see those of us who know how to do most this with out flash well.....that will make us just rediculous with it MAN I CAN NOT WAIT hahaha this will change everything you've ever known about mobile web surfing!!!! Thank you GOD!!!!! Thank you BB Thank You Sprint for having 4g and when this comes out its should be upgrade time but if not ill still buy a new phone just too upgrade to adobe and that is how big and important this move is and they know it!!!!

Hey dig what your saying felkikid but don't worry about the browser these guys and gals at rim are no dummies they know the current browser can't handle adobe that's why its going to be so sweet it will be a whole new experience its the difference between google maps vs google earth with partial street view but/w flash you'll have google earth withfull street view with layers there will be no limits I predict this will be the beginning of true A.I technology like I said the apps just think of the kind of apps that can be ran with flash no more pop ups "page too big for screen" imagine the bolt browser vs bb browser see how different the pages look that's why thre will be a new browser now imagine how the bolt browser would be with flash and ta daaa!!!!!!! Genius simply put just genius

It'll be interesting to see how it fairs. I've never seen a mobile implementation of the Flash player before (which of the mobile platforms currently have Flash?), but I suspect that it'll be more than a bit clunky.
Fingers crossed though.

It works pretty well on the Hero from what I've seen.
While were on the topic of flash. Why haven't we heard anything about how Skyfire is doing in their beta testing? Geez. I can hardly wait for the release of it.
Flash is always good, that may mean you can get websites to no missing ads...lol, Although I think RIM needs to get a much better Browser, to stay competitive with the rest of the smartphone giants...
