Flash on a PDA

[conna]

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.

the flash is just the front-end for our internal software that we developed. I am not a fan of using flash to dress up our website. We build water fountains not cartoons.
