A scoop of sorts over at Phone Scoop (and verified elsewhere this evening) confirms that Windows Mobile 7 will not support flash at launch& – which is officially launching tomorrow during the MWC- but will eventually support it, sometime.
Here’s the story. Designer Jeremiah Whitaker spent nine months at Microsoft working on Windows Mobile 7 (according to his LinkedIn), and published an example of user experience on his site – which is believed to be from Microsoft.
