It’s not the latest news or anything, but many people are at shock so we are just reminding you that OS 5.0 will be equipped with Silverlight and Flash.  We mentioned in our OS 5.0 review that embedded media will be supported by the stock browser, but did not emphasize that Silverlight and Flash were going to supported, although many figured that out on their own.  BGR confirms today that the information is true as well along with some other small blogs.  We have browsers such as Skyfire that have been in alpha for a long time, making it almost not worth the while to ever release public if RIM is going to provide the same exact services most likely faster than Skyfire themselves.  Perhaps we’ll see a bigger rush on Skyfire’s BlackBerry release if that’s the case.
