1. What does HTML5 have to to do with Flash 10.1 probably not releasing to the N900? Seperate issues, me thinks and HTML5 has its own resource hogging ways as well.

2. The Flash 10.1 beta needs Android Froyo and does not have GPU support yet, since Adobe is still working on driver support for the OEM's that provided resources. Current chips that will be supported are the 3430 and 8000 snap series.

3. Flash Lite 4 (10.1) on the Incredible blows away Flash 9 performance on N900 for games and video. Ironic for games, since not very playable on Inc (no keyboard), but still a lot better performance. My N900 is OC'd to 800mhz. If not a more efficient Flash version, Android 2.1 must be more efficient, since 800mhz 3430 vs. 1ghz snap should not make a big difference.

4. My guess is that Flash Lite 4 is more efficient and if the N900 had Flash Lite 4, we would be happy campers, since Flash 10.1 sites work fine with it.

5. I think the negative view about Nokia is fair- IF Nokia does not make the effort to have Flash 10.1 made for the N900.

6. Just in the past few weeks, N900 users have lost sites that were working and this will only get worse, since most web sites are in the process of checking now for Flash 10- even if the content does not require it.

7. Within a few months, Flash 9 will probably have far less worth on the N900, except for Flash games you may have saved through Firefox. Even that is becoming a problem now, since less sites allow saving game content.
