SKYPE, Flash 9 on 770 possible??
 

I read a lot of post talking about the new N800 update with SKYPE and Flash 9. Currently, I am running IT2007HE on my 770, is that possible to have those function too??

I did try to install skype from the application manager, but there is missing files.

please advise.

I'd love to see Flash 9 on my 770, Could care less about the Skype Hype.

Don't hold your breath, guys. That really lies more in Adobe's realm than Nokia's. It's a licensing thing, and I think it stinks. I really wish something like SVG had broken Adobe's Flash hegemony. Their licensing is, ironically, killing some great opportunities... for everyone.

News :

Looks like you could with 2007 but no skype

:( this is why i'm so obsessed with free software, free standards and free chocolate:

whenever a technology is proprietary, it almost always means it excludes people who don't use the major desktop platforms - for legal reasons, not for technical ones.

why should I have to change my operating system (or even my hardware) only to get a certain feature that my current hardware would be capable of? I understand the companies who try to maximize their profits in this way. What I don't understand is the users who happily follow the piper to this brave new flash/skype/...-world, multiplying his efforts by singing the tune.

I fully agree benny. SVG was hyped as the open alternative to proprietary vector graphics solutions, but was given little more than lip service after the hype. Microsoft neglected to build SVG interpretation into their browsers. Adobe bought Flash and relegated animated SVG to a distant backburner. Very disappointing.

There's always SilverLight. :) Not just to give it lip service, but I really do like what I've seen of that emergant platform. At the very least, it is making Adobe compete with Apollo/AIR now. The fact that the mono guys already have a working version of it for Linux speaks volumes... now if they'd make one for my 770. Microsoft has already promised to deliver SilverLight for mobile devices like their PPC platform, so maybe it would be possible to port the Linux version over to the 770 and 800?

Re: SKYPE, Flash 9 on 770 possible??
 

Silverlight is still another proprietary solution. Also, given Microsoft's poor history in the graphics arena, I'm betting they'll drop it quickly if it doesn't almost immediately supplant Flash. We all know how likely that is...
