maemo.org - Talk - Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?

Just to let you know their is a possibility that Flash 10.1 is coming to Maemo 5 in June. This is not a rumour or gossip it was officially mentioned by Kevin Lynch, Adobe's chief technology officer...while he he was responding to the latest nonsense from Steve Jobs.

Ok it does say Android will be getting it slightly earlier (May) but the general release will be in June and hopefully this will include an update for the Maemo/N900. I can't wait :)

Does this mean we will be able to use the graphical hardware capabilities in this version of Adobe Flash? Or am I feeling a bit too optimistic?

If it does come to Maemo (the article just says Nokia) then yes, Flash 10.1 will use GPU acceleration.

f*** flash, adobe and adobes chief. i'm 100% on apples side, working against them. such a bad product that has made so many dependent of it. and then this late release of something that should've been available a long time ago.

Apple and Mr Jobs believe they have the best product & ideas and the world should bow down to their technological brilliance (NOT).....not going to happen when some people have vision & dreams of just more then silly apps/gestures...apple fanboys need to switch on the light .

This release is way overdue but as long as we have stable, non buggy and smooth version working alongside Maemo, I don't mind the wait..the same goes with N900 updates. :cool:

You're just changing masters, that's all.

Absolutely spot on. They expect us just to only accept Apples but there are many more other fruits in the world. ;)

Flash is not the future. will be replaced. For me, asap. Html5 can do it in some sense.

When you factor h.264 and its licensing threat in, what then?
