Flash 10.1 already runs on HP WebOS 2.0. (Palm Pre 2).
This makes me think this info is not that fresh.
So, Flash for Windows Phone or not? Looks like, yet again, everyone else first and maybe sometime next year Windows will figure it out.
This new OS is definitely slow going. No really good games out there, the apps suck except for Netflix and I can’t even watch videos online unless they are youtube based…sad indeed microsoft. Is there a way to flash my new phone back to WM6.5?
