Opera Declares Flash Support

Considering the market penetration of Opera in Japan and vast amount of mobile Flash driven offering here.. not much of a surprise. Without getting too deep into a predictable flame war, it is 'interesting' that Apple opposes the ubiquitous Adobe product supposedly based on their aversion to it being a proprietary standard.. when in-effect they are clearly "guilty" of that approach in many ways as well. Perhaps the real issue would have something more to-do with the fact that Flash would potentially crack open wider access to transactions beyond the current closed App Store money machine.. so until then you have the distant dream of html 5.
