Don't misunderstand me. Web 2.0 on the desktop is great. But let's face it, we are all just waiting for the perfect mobile social networking app to come down the pipe. Well, we might not have to wait too much longer. Adobe and Verizon will launch their much vaunted "BREW" based Flash for mobile system on July 3rd. Why is that important? Simply this: There are about one million Flash developers world wide just waiting for a chance to develop for mobile devices.

Both Flash and BREW developers can use Flash Lite for BREW to create and commercialize applications, screensavers and casual games by leveraging key parts of the BREW solution such as over-the-air distribution and billing.
