The wireless industry is trying to radically improve mobile Web browsing by making it as much like the PC experience as possible. In a step in that direction, handset makers are bringing Flash multimedia player to more cellphones.
This week Adobe signed a deal with cellphone manufacturers Sony Ericsson, Nokia, LG, and Motorola to bring it’s Flash component to cell phones.
