BlackBerry Pearl 8130

Hello everyone. I am enjoying this phone, thanks to your advice and ratings. I receive a daily email from the NY Times with select headlines. There was an audio-slide show I clicked to run thinking it would be a great opportunity to try the high-speed network. However, it couldn't run as it was Adobe Flash (or something like that) and not compatible. I searched the forum and found a reference to a $30 3rd party app but are there other more standard choices (even to buy) to run these embedded audio/visual news clips? Thank you.
