Correct me if I'm wrong, but Adobe stated that they will be providing flash 10 for LiMo. Does this not mean it should be a trivial matter to use those binaries on Maemo as long as LiMo supports the ARM architecture?

Or perhaps a community backport of the MeeGo version?

Easy Debian has Flash...

I was surfing the web with microB and i found a flash game site. I selected a game 3D rally, and it worked. All in 3D. Slow but playable. Flash 9 is able to manage 3D games?!

EDIT:Ok there's hardware accelerated implementation...

Adobe Flash 9.4 = 9.0.124.0 or so

Maemo 5 as of PR1.2 has 9.0.260.0 or so.

Their numbering scheme is a bit... odd, but Vimeo is expecting version 10.0.0 - view/test here.

LiMo is like Android, only thing that's "Linux" about it is the kernel. Everything else is unique and custom, and likely not compatible with anything that could be argued is "standard Linux."

The MeeGo version could likely be pulled back to Maemo 5 however, but I suspect that will be borderline warez as Adobe sees the mobile space as something they charge handset vendors for and not open like the PC realm.

That's surprising considering they're trying to fight off HTML5 until they can find a revenue maker replacement.

Doubtful they'll have to find one. Dreamweaver CS5 has a HTML5 package/extension for it already. And HTML5 is years away from being a final standard. Flash will coexist with HTML5 for years/iterations to come more than likely.

Dell uses an OMAP 3430 in their Latitude notebooks (for instant on, long running access to basic features) which runs MonteVista Montebella Linux and has a mozilla based browser. If you look at ManteVista's development map they plan to have Flash for this device.

I think considering Dell's pull and all, it seems likely that they will actually have flash for this OS and device, and it seems to me this would probably work fine on N900 as well. What do you guys think?

Not practical, since it will take a long time to see html5 intergration surplant, yet alone get near Flash proliferation. By the time this happens, the N900 will be old kit. Think modern day N-Gage with a bigger screen ;)

Nope, Flash was touted on this device and the N900 is a "pocket computer". Fine, like all other recently released computers, where the heck is my Flash 10.1?
