It's going to run Flash.

On a 2.6" touchscreen.

Flash sites, by and large, are designed for precise pointing devices on fairly decent-sized screens. There are going to be a lot of frustrated Veer users fat-fingering their way through Hulu.

tangent: isn't Hulu still blocking access from phone-like devices?

Agree that navigating flash sites on a screen this small will be frustrating.

The whole Flash thing is just a lame argument put forth by marketing departments trying to find some edge over the iPhone. Mobile Flash sucks, and Flash itself is quickly falling to irrelevance.
