Hi I got a HTC Radar running WP 7.5 the other day and was wondering a few things..

Will it ever see an update to WP8?

Will flash ever come to WP7?

Will BBC iPlayer/4oD/ITV Player ever work on WP7?

All I know so far is that I will be getting WP 7.8 very soon -but is that then it? No WP8 ever with all the new apps etc?

Even if no offcial WP8 update, is it possible for a custom/ported WP8 rom to run on it?

(Sorry if stupid questions, I'm a WP noob)

  1. No
  2. No
  3. Probably Not
  4. 7.8 has the new start screen, maybe new lock screen, and 7.5 apps will probably still be made
  5. No idea about ported ROMs - Windows CE and Windows 8 are very different OS's

I looked all over market, could only find an offline flash file player, not an internet flash video streamer which is what I'm really after

Ah right, maybe that was what I saw, it had the red flash logo as its own logo, like I say I never tried it though

I think you'll have to wait till hell freezes over.

I heard that's the estimated release date... :p

So will BBC/Channel 4/ITV switch their websites to HTML5 rather than flash? (hope so)

Probably not anytime soon, as right now only Flash or Silverlight (so in other words: plugin technologies) allow for the "protection" of their content. *sigh*

The BBC will not be supporting HTML 5 video, until the W3C can implement some kind of DRM mechanism in it

Exactly, and I'd rather have less content via HTML5 than see that bullcrap (DRM) spread even more.

Streaming services such as Netflix can not, and will not, be able to exist without some form of DRM. It just isn't going to happen for obvious reasons.

I said less content via HTML 5.

They can keep their Flash and continue offering apps. :p

    • I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
