No Flash support for PS Vita web browser

The PS Vita is joining a long list of mobile devices that don’t support Adobe’s Flash in its web browser.

Japan publication Famitsu this week said the PS Vita web browser will not include Flash support at launch, but will be compatible with part of the HTML5 standard, Javascript 1.7 and will support cookies.

Other news that may frustrate those interested in the PS Vita is that it will use a new proprietary format of memory cards and will require a card inserted in order to run some games and download content from PSN.

Apparently this new format of memory card will not be compatible with Sony’s existing Memory Stick format.

The PS Vita will be released in Japan December 17, with the worldwide release following next February.
