RIM Planning To Support Full Flash And Silverlight In The BlackBerry Browser By Next Summer?!

According to BGR, RIM is planning to add support for Adobe Flash (full, not lite) and Microsoft Silverlight in the BlackBerry Browser by next summer!

So far no BlackBerry is able to view Flash or Silverlight content from within the BlackBerry Browser, which has been a big disappointment for many new and existing BlackBerry owners (myself included). Of course, that didn’t make me turn to another device because I knew it would happen sooner or later.

BG says that RIM has to “beef up” their devices before going through with Flash and Silverlight support. This includes getting over some software limitation hurdles and the need for higher, faster data networks.

On a different topic, the BlackBerry 9700 is rumored to be available for AT&T customers right in time for Black Friday. Still no word on when the 9700 will be going to T-Mobile.
