I've noticed that many flash games are harder to play on the Nexus without the software mouse. The speed of flash, however, is much faster on the N1, which renders many of those same games unplayable on the N900.

I'm just reporting my usage for some games, not in depth and certainly not an apples to apples review.

Yes, don't forget flash 10.1 is not only video GPU acceleration. It's bitmap processing and vector drawing. If your content in Flash will be designed in Flash 10.1 in mind will get even better results. For now 10.1 betta is not even finished version and trying to interpret the old content the best way possible. For example if you drawing simple square using Flash 10.0 methods Flash 10.1 will use triangulation to interpret this shape as 2 triangles and pass data to the GPU or even Vector Processor Unit instead of processor. That will speed up a lot of drawings in this case. If you are still using old Flash 9 techniques I am not really sure I can see the advantage. If AVM2 needs to guess the content type will consume more resources. If will know this from code point of view doesn't need to guess. Passing all of vector data straight away to GPU.
