Adobe’s latest mobile Flash runtime will be appearing on Windows Mobile handsets. It supports almost everything developed for Flash 8, so you can YouTube your tiny heart out.

Microsoft already has its own Flash-esque technology in Silverlight, but that won’t be ready for mobile deployment for some time. Steve Jobs has made it clear that he’s not keen on Flash or Flash Lite, so this is a good move by Microsoft. They’re distancing themselves from the competition, and appealing to the market.
