If that what Qole keep saying it's true, (obviously I don't know how top your fiend is) personally I'll be very p** off. Because what we saw 7 months ago on Adobe presentation 1st device running experimental Flash 10.1 on N900. That was exactly the same time when Nokia released N900 on the market!!!! For me that will be nothing else that FALSE MARKETING from Nokia side. They used Adobe conference to attract people and abandon support on this project?

Technically it is possible to run fully GPU accelerated Flash 10.1 on this device since have all of required chips responsible for acceleration, video encoding and even vector drawing (triangulation). If OS can't handle that, software can always change. If they don't have resources to support N900 and Maemo and changed focus on MeeGoo in future phones they have to keep Flash 10.1 in mind as well. There is pretty straight forward specification from Adobe side what modern device needs to have to run Flash 10.1. And N900 is the on the list. ARM processor is actually same for all of the mobiles and platforms. If they can compile the binnary to this architecture there is no reason why N900 couldn't handle that.

Once again, I don't really care if Flash 10.1 comes up here via hack or any tricky solution.
I can only say if NOKIA using FALSE MARKETING this is very bad for them. People here will do a riot and finally they lost more trusted customers. If this is some technical problem, we can wait. As long as they working together they can work it out.

If this is political/marketing decision only see my first point.

The fact that First beta will be available on Android First was well know from 5 months on adobe labs. So no surprise here this is only confirmation that Flash 10.1 project for mobile devices is on track and we can expect final release soon.

As for now I am big fun of great device. I'm not saying anything good about NOKIA, I have even body protector that cover NOKIA logo. Please NOKIA show me I'm wrong about your FALSE MARKETING.
