The N8 and other current-gen Symbian phones do not have the proper browser and horsepower background to take full advantage of Flash 10, so there is no point in protecting them from other Nokia products. Not to mention that the N900 is one of the most expensive Nokia phones, so there is actually a business interest in selling them with Flash 10. Because, you now, they still ARE selling N900s. I know what Qole tweeted, but it still does not make sense no matter how I look at it.
I have no reason to doubt qole or be at tanget to your thinking.

But I'm going to guess that its a case of flash not coming to Maemo 5 rather than the N900. Yes, I know that the N900 is still being sold, but that is of no relevance in this regard. A quick look at the enhancement requests handling in Bugzilla is proof enough of how much effort is being put in to enhace Maemo 5.

Unless the implementation effort put in to port 10.1 to Maemo 5 also helps for Meego/Harmattan. I don't see it happening.

Look at any other platform getting the update. Been quite vocal, haven't they? But, if Nokia is going to get it done, then if nothing else they could learn to communicate better to their end users.
