Palm WebOS can Handle Flash, Still Can’t Play it Yet.

Well, in an interesting turn of events, I have found that Palm’s WebOS is ready to handle Flash at version 1.3.5, but doesn’t have the code to actually play Flash at this moment.  A Flash beta was expected to be in the App Catalog soon after Palm’s CES keynote, but has not appeared yet, and [...]
