Shouldn't it work in the N9 with its similar processor?

It won't work....
That's the whole point of the license Nokia needs to get from Adobe.
The NPAPI binary will be signed & only for use on Fremantle (maemo5).

I forget exactly how it works now (I once knew, damn my mem), so it may or may not work in Aegis open-mode.
But Aegis open-mode is still a long-way-off being ready for the avg. joe.
But as gerbick hinted we should be focusing our energies on a Nokia delivered/sanctioned 11x.
A 10x "hack" is simply not acceptable...

*UPDATE* 01/11/11
Forget I posted anything, I believe I've misunderstood what jolo was saying.
I removed my latest post as I don't want to get hopes up unnecessarily.
It's just too early to say anything conclusively, it could still go either way.

Re: Is this true that the n9 will have flash with fennec ?

Seems like there will not be mobile Flash for any devices in the future: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/perlow/exc...e_skin;content

So I would assume that this means that there will not be Flash for N9 Fennec.

Re: Is this true that the n9 will have flash with fennec ?

Yeah I read that earlier. I'm not sure we can read too much into it though.
I would assume it's referring to anything beyond 11x...
Since 11x was confirmed for a bunch of major platforms & maybe WP a mth or so back.

Re: Is this true that the n9 will have flash with fennec ?

According to jolo, the status-quo remains.
Adobe's recent announcements don't affect ongoing assessments on 11x for Harmattan.
An excerpt of our dialogue is below...

That has little to do with their delivery of 11x right?

But Harmattan was never in those announcements, so I'm nervous...

Which jolo preferred I didn't reiterate publicly, as it was far from conclusive either way.

Re: Is this true that the n9 will have flash with fennec ?

aaaargh :p this would be soooo awesome.. the thing is, i'm gonna buy this device either way but if it has flash i think i'll surely keep it, if it doesn't then maybe i won't.

Re: Is this true that the n9 will have flash with fennec ?

Any news on Harmattan's certification status?

Re: Is this true that the n9 will have flash with fennec ?

Here's my latest convo with jolo (18/01/12 AustEST), situation remains infuriating:

Quote:

no news to tweet about on that topic.

Right... But is it dead, alive, terminal, what?
So many were left hanging in that thread at TMO & have heard zip since.

Quote:

we are still working on it, delay is with others and situation is delicate so no public comments

Quote:

Sigh.
Can we at least get a rough timeframe as to when there's a resolution?
Surely it's dead if there's no conclusion in 3mth!?

Quote:

we are stuck on lawyers at the moment.

I wish they'd just hurry-up and confirm it's not coming, it'd be better that way.

Re: Is this true that the n9 will have flash with fennec ?

lol @ lawyers, maybe if all these damn companies would stop suing each other for a few days they could work out some agreements that actually benefited someone for once.

Re: Is this true that the n9 will have flash with fennec ?

How can there be flash on fennec for n9 or other platform when fennec for windows(Desktop) doesn't even have it...

Re: Is this true that the n9 will have flash with fennec ?

^ What are you talking about???
Running flash on "Firefox" here (OSX), there's no Fennec for PC's/Macs.
Read back through the thread...
Nokia needs to pay for a signed binary from Adobe, & Mozilla needs to agree.
