Adobe Flash Player Coming To Windows Mobile, WebOS
Adobe has announced plans to launch Flash Player 10 for various mobile platforms later this year. Flash is widely used for multimedia content on the Web, but until now it was considered too resource intensive to be used on handheld devices such as PDAs or smartphones.
The latest mobile version of Flash Player 10 will support Windows Mobile, WebOS, Symbian, and Android devices. Many of Adobe’s partners have already received early copies of Flash Player 10. Developers should receive their copy later this year at Adobe's Max conference, which is in October.
Not only will Flash Player 10 enable a richer Internet browsing experience on mobile devices, but it also has the ability to enable the development of web-based applications. This, in turn, could free developers from individual application stores like we have today.
Although this is indeed an exciting announcement, it’s unlikely users will see applications built around the Flash 10 platform before early next year.

Its about time but I am happy with skyfire, I have the Omnia and it came with Opera and IE. I can do full browsing with it. It is a desktop browser experience on my phone. I really enjoy reading your coverage.
