This makes sense, since Adobe said at the Nokia summit 10.1 needs a DSP for full desk-top experience. Some games must play well though since some do on the Archos 5 with Flash 8.

Sounds like we will be waiting until about June before Flash content including games sites or other apps will be more playable.

Still, maybe some are now, so nice to have practical perspective from current users.

Addictinggames.com is a good site to test since they have "light" and heavy Flash apps.
