Verizon’s hard-hitting “Droid Does” anti-iPhone ad (via TechCrunch):

I love my iPhone (and developing for it) but I definitely would like to see more competition in this space. I think this ad hits home for those of us who are frustrated with the iPhone’s shortcomings. On the other hand, the style of the end of the video makes me think of trailers for horror movies. I’m not sure that’s such a good association to make!

This ad campaign also reminds me of the old Sega Genesis commercials back in the day:

The “About Flash” page reports that the PS3 is running Flash Player 7.0.70.0.

The User-Agent is reported as “Mozilla/5.0 (PLAYSTATION 3; 1.00)”.

For what it’s worth :)

I have not run any Javascript or rendering tests or anything like that. I should see if anyone else has already.

EDIT: Aha! Someone has, and seems to have done quite an exhaustive job of it. Very handy, bookmarking now :)

Yesterday, at Sony’s Gamers Day in San Francisco, Sony demonstrated the PlayStation 3′s web browser (which will be included free with the PS3), including the viewing of movie clips on YouTube. I am assuming that this means the PS3 browser has full Flash player capabilities.

I’ve done some quick googling but haven’t been able to find any details about the PS3 web browser (unlike the Wii’s browser, which is based on Opera). If it’s based on Mozilla (or some other existing, known browser source), it would make our jobs as web developers much easier. If not, it will be another platform to target, especially if the PS3 browser becomes a major player. I’m also curious about what version of Flash is running on it.
