Flash Player on PSP, officially

So there was this big press conference at Sony headquarters yesterday to discuss the PS3 (which I will probably avoid, $425 is too much) and the CEO had some announcements about upcoming PSP updates, including a new web browser. The next PSP web browser will include official Flash support! Which means we can stop trying to hack the Flash Player into the PlayStationPortable and just go with the flow. 1UP mentioned the inclusion at 10:42 AM PST yesterday. I only wonder if the player will be a stripped down version or even just a modified version of the Palm OS Flash Player that was included with Sony's CLIE product line. The release of a coming camera and GPS modules leads me to think that Flash developers may be able to build full fledged RIAs that feature location based support and video teleconferencing. Now I just need to save up a couple hundred bucks and grab on of these for 'work.'

JD read a prediction on this back in August and Make found a hack to force Flash Player 7 into the PSP in Febuary
