I wasn't. Last year when Gianduja was shown off, I knew it would get appropriated for something that would compete with Flash more than likely.

Let's be honest. Gianduja sits on top of WebObjects, which they control... which works with part of a project they inject code into, Webkit.

This is highly reminiscent of the Adobe Premiere support on OS X being dropped in 2003 because all of a sudden, Adobe had Shake, Motion and a few iterations of Final Cut (pro, HD, "personal") - background info here.

If javaScript, HTML5 and Apple's stuff are to be the future, the future seems to be in the hand of lesser people. Which, bothers me.

Flash Player 10 not showing up on the N900 would be close to a travesty - it's been shown at least once in near beta form already. I think it's time Nokia gives some incentives to these companies to continue developing on prior (Maemo5 vs. MeeGo) platforms while planning on future (MeeGo) platforms or else... more stuff like this will happen in the future with other vendors.

My 2 cents.
