The reason why the Opera Wii browser doesn't support Flash 9
Reader DonnyDarko420 did some detective work, and found out why Opera didn’t add Flash 9 support with the latest version of the Wii browser. The answer direct from Opera below…
“It seems that Flash 7 is the latest version available for licensing from Adobe. This means no Flash 9 for platforms not directly supported by Adobe.
Basically, in this case one has to rely on a closed implementation from a single vendor rather than an open standard. That vendor has chosen to prioritize things in a certain way.”
Well, at least now we have an answer!
