It was almost a year ago that I was reporting on the 64-bit browser for Mozilla Thunderbird and the absence of a 64-bit flash player from Adobe. Even in October, there were still no updates from Adobe.

It’s been almost a year and there’s been no new, no progress and no updates from Adobe as to when or if users will see a 64-bit version of flash.

I’m not really stating anything that already hasn’t been thought about, but you have to sit back and realize that smart phones and portable Internet enabled devices are growing by leaps and bounds.

First, the PC was outsold by the laptop and now the Internet portable devices are pulling that gap closed.

And while you read that statement your asking what’s next?

Well, your answer would be the silent little ‘airband’ cards the various cell phone carriers are offering.
