According to this press release:

… Verizon Wireless is expected to become the first wireless operator in North America to introduce Flash-enabled handsets that use the technology to deliver a customized user experience. Developers will be able to create and offer new rich content, applications and data services based on Flash and targeted at these handsets.

Wow, this is big. If they allow open downloading of unsigned apps, you’ll see a ton of web flash games ported over to mobile devices.

There could be such a wealth of free games available, commercial mobile games are going to have to step it up to stay appealing. Or should I say get appealing.
