DoCoMo Adds Flash To Phones
Thanks to Gonzo for submitting the story that NTT DoCoMo is going to announce that they've added Flash support to phones. Using Macromedia Flash will certainly allow for some creative developments on phones that could be quite eye-catching and gives designers much more flexibility in designing more exciting interfaces. The real question, though, is whether or not users will find the results compelling. Sometimes having more options and flexibility makes people "over design", which could be more of a turnoff for users.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
