Windows Mobile to Add Flash Support

Mar 17, 2008, 7:34 AM by Eric M. Zeman

Microsoft did not say when the software will be integrated into the mobile version of Internet Explorer. Microsoft does offer its own video-playing software, called Silverlight. The two firms did not disclose the financial details of the licensing agreement.
