I'm not sure. What's "thouth"?  ;-)


An optional download for a Flash 3 Player is useful, but I think the real

payoff will be at level of the interactive Macromedia Flash 4 Player...

rich interfaces beat passive displays.


It would also be helpful if it were burned into the box, so that the entire

population could be counted on to view the content.


It can sometimes be frustrating, waiting for the future to arrive.... ;-)

If you're working with a manfacturer of portable devices, then you're

welcome to the zero-cost licensing for the Macromedia Flash Player Source

Code. The initiative is designed for precisely this use of integration into

emerging devices:

http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/open/licensing/


If you're instead a content provider for a specific device, then I'd urge

investigating any beta programs that that manufacturer may be offering for

upcoming devices... this could let you do testing on upcoming devices as

they pass through various stages.


(Ditto your point on JavaScript differences among devices... this is one of

the big wins that the Flash Player promises for various portable devices:

universal consistency.)
