Imagine the power of some of the more interesting Flex/Flash apps out there (the upcoming Photoshop Elements in Flex comes to mind), as well as the power of the upcoming "Moviestar" version of Flash Player (supports 1080p video... not that the Wii goes past 480p). With any luck, Adobe can flex their muscles a bit and wrangle Opera or Nintendo to support Flash Player 9. By comparison, Flash Lite 2 supports a bit more than Flash 7 does, it memory serves. I could very well be wrong. Kinda sad to think a Nokia N series phone outdoes a Wii.
