This appendix contains a matrix of devices that have some form of Flash support. Some of the devices are no longer produced, although you should be able to purchase them on ebay (http://www.ebay.com).

It seems as though there is a press release every other day announcing a new device that supports Flash. Be sure to check out this book's web site for the latest Flash device news and information.
