Full Flash and Silverlight Planned for BlackBerry?

We had heard distributor point blank from RIM’s Mike Kirkup back in Feb that Flash would discovery its way to BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) sooner or later, but didn’t get any working out on whether it would be a toned-down feather Flash Lite, but early rumours suggest that it volition be a full-blown variant, and come along with Silverlight support. Network bandwidth is a bit of a bottleneck right now, so we’ll have to wait until next summertime when the likes of LTE are more readily available, but it’s still good to hear RIM’s workings on significantly updating their browser. There has certainly been big talk about the native browser matching iPhone’s Safari by next summertime, and Flash was definitely on my list of requirements to pulling off such a daunting feat, especially after enjoying it on the N86’s browser. The inclusion of Silverlight, though a act less exciting, is brand new information, and should amply daily round out the browser upgrade.
