How well does Windows Mobile 2003 software support flash within web pages? My software developer wants to port our internal shop software to flash. We have apps allready converted to flash so I am not worried about that. I just do not have any experience with internet explore for pocket PC's on how well flash looks or behaves on the smaller screens.

Thanks for you thoughts.

I had an o2 XDAII a while ago (400mhz PDA, runs Windows Mobile 2003 Phone Edition) and I had it on wireless networks both at home and at university.

I installed Flash player 5 on it (doesn't come installed with the default internet browser unfortunately) but once it is installed it runs great ... it resizes itself to fit the screen and plays with sound etc just as it does on a desktop.

i have an iPaq h1945, and I couldn't get flash player to work on mine for some reason. This was about 5 months ago, and haven't tried to get it to work since. So I might have better luck now.

As for converting your on-line shop over to flash, why? Besides being "flashy" what will flash add to your site? Personally, I only think flash is suitable for things like enterainment sites or movie and television oriented sites, not for on-line commerce. But thats just me.

    • Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug

      Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update

      Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
