Finally, we will be seeing a full Internet experience on a mobile instead of an optimized or broken version thanks to BlackBerry. RIM plans to add full Flash and Silverlight into their browser. The news is “pretty much confirmed” according to Boy Genius what ever that means.
Said to be slated for next summer (2010), it is going to take RIM a while to do this. Boy Genius says this may be because to make this much data transfer seamless, the networks will have be faster and the devices more powerful.
For users of popular handsets like the iPhone, flash sites are cumbersome and deliver an experience far from the creator’s intent. By including Flash and Silverlight, movie and TV sites like Hulu start to look a lot more attractive.

Give me a break.. Blackberry 9630 here. Love it wouldn't trade it for anything until RIM stops "milking" their technology and puts something out mainstream that should have hit the market 2 years ago. Perhaps WiFi * cough* and don't give me "well the service is very fast… So you don't need WiFI…" For business folks that can't have cameras fine, problem addressed, but WiFi is a great tool whether you live in a rural area or densely structured building blocking signal. As far as OS, RIMs only downfall in my opinion is this browser that should have died with Palm years ago. I have a gut feeling that SKYFIRE will be used to appease RIM users as soon as Beta becomes available.
If you ask me, MW is spawned by non other than Satan, but when its not frozen, the apps are just too easy to acquire and use, but its still windows…Maybe someday RIM might realize the unreached customers yet to obtain by making atleast one solid phone with all the features of a $50 windows phone to include a browser with Flash and Silverlite.
Someone's got it working…..
