John Dowdell, you are my new best friend! That's awesome news! Since CrowdAbout.us uses Flash extensively, and we have had reservations about jumping into the mobile market, I am always looking to find out more about what's being developed in new releases of the platform.
Any chance the next version of flash player will start supporting other formats besides mp3 and .flv? Maybe even do away with the pesky nellymoser codec for FMS recorded audio? (Please please please???) Also, the whole "chipmunk effect" with mp3s encoded at unsupported bitrates is frustrating to us and tens of thousands of other podcasters who would more readily adopt flash player widgets...can you tell the powers that be to support more bitrates? Sorry, I'm gushing and we've only just met. =) It's just that I feel like I'm sitting in Santa's lap, telling him all the things I want for Christmas...
