See, a lot of people don't want Flash to be fully baked into the OS, a lot of people would prefer to have the option to download and use it or not. Palm's "book" is written this way, not forcing Flash on everyone.
Palm said: Flash support will be available in 1.4
That means when Adobe (remember, who Palm has no control over) has Flash ready you will be able to add it to your phone. Those who don't want it on their phone won't have to have it.
Palm said: Flash beta will be available in the app catalog after 1.4. It's been 36 hours for a handful of people with 1.4, 6-12 hours for Sprint/O2/Movistar users, and Verizon/Bell/others don't even have it yet. Maybe the Flash beta pops up in a few days, maybe a couple weeks, maybe a month or more.
Palm never said 1.4 will have Flash baked in and ready to roll. N-E-V-E-R
Facts.
Cringer, your rudeness is absolutely uncalled for. You may not agree with me, but that gives you no reason to be patronizing.
Having said that:
Adobe does not "make" Flash. Macromedia developed and released Flash in 1993. Adobe merely bought out the company and uses most of the original Macromedia design staff. Facts.
Palm also said that call duration would be available in 1.4, yet it's not. When I bought my Pre, I specifically inquired about the web browser's capability because a lot of my freelance work involves Flash. I was referred to Palm Customer Service. Palm Customer service told me that Flash was not available, but would be in 1.3.5.1. Wrong again. Palm has said a lot of things, either through its development staff, its public relations team, or its customer service reps, and a lot of what it has said has been wrong. So much for Palm's "book."
Palm doesn't control Sprint, but a phone application is built into webOS. Palm does not control the Internet, but a web browser is built into webOS. Palm does not control the camera industry, but a camera application is built into webOS.
Enough said.
