Windows Phone 7 Series Won't Ignore Adobe Flash

Mar 10, 2010, 12:40 PM by Philip Berne

Mike Chambers, principal Product Manager for developer relations for the Flash Platform at Adobe, made a statement on his personal blog concerning Flash on the upcoming Windows Phone 7 Series OS. Chambers says that "Adobe and Microsoft are working together to bring Flash Player 10.1 to Internet Explorer Mobile on Windows Phone 7 Series." Chambers didn't offer a specific time frame. Microsoft has made it clear that the interface on Windows Phone 7 Series relies heavily on the competing Microsoft Silverlight runtime, but never precluded the use of Adobe's Flash in the Web browser.

Microsoft.

Also...make an awesome app store with lots of paid and free apps that dont suck. Any phones you make to sell directly must have a good amount of internal memory. STOP BEING CHEAP! Make a product you can actually be proud of. I know I'm just blabbing on phonescoop but oh well. I gotta pass my ideas around somehow. 🤣
