It's being tested on WebOS and Maemo as we speak. It's not yet released due to ARM modifications as well as getting it ready for simultaneous release for desktop (or close therein)

It's still beta on the desktop/

My next question is then, "why is everyone bellyaching over it so much?"
Two reasons... Hulu and other folks that for no real reason all of a sudden require it. I'm a Flex dev and Flash Builder 4 (Flex 4) makes the jump to FP10. So this is a necessary update for a lot of reasons.

If it's been pretty much promised and it's being tweaked or tested, then why grumble? The N900 only JUST came out, give it time.
Because they can?

I guess I'm just a little confused by all the fuss.
No need to be confused. With Adobe moving rapidly ahead with Flash Builder 4, Adobe CS5 Suite, Adobe Flash Catalyst... the need for this is rather imminent due to the tools pushing everybody to the newer flash player. Just wish that the communication from the Adobe Open Screen Project was more... forthcoming. But patience is required since it's been demoed before during Adobe MAX last October and more comments about it since then for the Palm Pre and Maemo...

Hope that helps.
