The Nokia N900 was one of the first devices on while Flash 10.1 was demoed and this got a lot of people very excited. However a few months down the road its already available for a bunch of other devices, but the N900 has been out cold. However, there may be a silver lining after all.

A very interesting page appeared on the Texas Instruments website (the company behind the N900′s Cortex A8 processor) titled ‘Adobe Flash Plug-In – Evaluation and Demo for TI ARM CortexA8 Devices’. That was picked up by cfh11 on the TMO forum, following that Carsten was able to request a copy of the plugin from TI and has been testing it on the N900. As Andrew points out in the comments below, Carsten (Stskeeps) is one of the leading hackers in the Maemo community – and, indeed, sub-contracts to Nokia to work on the MeeGo adaptation for the N900! What were the results?

Looks interesting, but I'm not going to try it until after someone else can give it a "clean" rating - Running unidentified binary code is dangerous.

The md5sum of it is "7b1b7d0ae1692aabc77309500e2ba7d4".

Edit:
Provided you trust this account, it's genuine!
YES!

Re: Discussing about our Flash Player 10.1
 

Yep thats why asked if anyone was game ;-)

My N900 is very shiny and new, and I am not sufficiently expert enough to want to have to reflash, clean it up just yet ;-)

One word: Backupmenu. Back it up, try it, restore if you need. Simple, effective.

these exciting threads nothing have inside :-/

Re: Discussing about our Flash Player 10.1
 

Robbiethe1st, I'm not going to try this one, but assuming I hypothetically tried the others ones: Every single leaked one so far has had the red bar, and limited working-ness with Flash elements. (I.E. Flash tends to crash when interacted with when using this plugin.)

The above link (meego experts) took it from Know Nokia - the Know Nokia one is the same one that leaked forever ago. It works, gives you a red bar in the top left of more flash elements, and may or may not be completely unstable depending on your luck - but most likely it'll do the crash/reload-when-you-interact-with-it bit.

Re: Discussing about our Flash Player 10.1
 

ok guys i tried this. it still has the red bar but video seems to be good and it never crashed for me. i tried playing 3 youtube videos but the microb browser never crashed.

give a try if you guys wants to test.......

Thanks.

Re: Discussing about our Flash Player 10.1
 

tried and http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html shows player version "LNX 10.1.105.6". quick, what do i win?

edit: i guess i'll win a violation of licensing agreement. flash 10 is no more.

Re: Discussing about our Flash Player 10.1
 

It successfully loads all flash games and video but it fails to capture the mouse event it seems, and caused the page to reload when clicking.

Re: Discussing about our Flash Player 10.1
 

Somehow I think that the forced-reload-on-click and other bugs are less bugs and more intentional developer revision crippling - to prevent these kinds of leaks from being actually useful to the people who want/need full latest Flash support.

Re: Discussing about our Flash Player 10.1
 

I guess so. At least the flash is loaded and running.

Re: Discussing about our Flash Player 10.1
 

maybe we should just tell adobe we are boycotting flash on meego since they don't support maemo. as if it would be so hard to compile this thing properly... would be nice if these blogs would try writing a useful story about the sad lack of interest by adobe rather than spending all day copy and pasting each others rumors.

Re: Discussing about our Flash Player 10.1
 

woldnt it be better to skip the whole flash thing and focus on html5 which is around the corner and many are converting to. I hardly think that youtube (google) wants to be in the hands of Adobe if they neednt.

Re: Discussing about our Flash Player 10.1
 

No.

HTML5 is not/will not be a replacement for Flash.

Re: Discussing about our Flash Player 10.1
 

If you want to code this for me in HTML 5 then I'm all for it:

Re: Discussing about our Flash Player 10.1
 

And why would it have to be ? The argument is actually about legacy systems/developers, not what HTML5 or any other tech can(not) do.

Re: Discussing about our Flash Player 10.1
 

From what I've seen so far, HTML5 can't compete with stuff like http://pixlr.com/editor/ or http://www.audiotool.com/app - please correct me if I'm wrong, as I'd love to agree on one common standard, but I can't see Flash dying just yet.

Anyway, this thread isn't about the pros and cons of Flash, it's about Flash 10 support on the N900 which is being discussed to death over in another humongous thread here at maemo.org.
