It may give you access to your favorite video websites, but only if the phone’s processor and hardware are fast enough to cope. “Often they are not,” says [Ian] Fogg. “This may be one reason that the iPhone does not yet have Flash support.”

Poor NBC. First they pull out because Apple doesn’t let them have their way, and they go off and start Hulu (which isn’t half bad if you ask me–too cheap to get cable or satellite and TV reception at home is just a bunch of ants having a picnic on screen.

One of my heros passed away last night: Gordon B. Hinckley. Next to my parents and grandparents, he’s one of the people whose influence and example has helped shaped who I am today.While I’m saddened to hear of his passing, I’m also grateful to have been privileged to hear him speak on countless occasions and have watched his tireless efforts to help others improve their lives through living good, God-fearing lives. My condolences to his family. He will be missed by many.
