All reports on this are conflicting. If you check out the latest podcast from Engadget they say that at Google I/O, Google stated it wasn't going to be hardware accelerated, but the interview that Engadget conducted with Adobe Labs they specifically said the Nexus One is going to be hardware accelerated. No one really seems to know. Some believe that Adobe is kind of picking hairs by saying that because 2D may have software acceleration, but not 3D or it will only have acceleration for non-flv files and such. I've also heard reports that the Snapdragon platform on its one cannot have actual hardware acceleration(but I can't verify that outside of conversations with other gadget hobbyists). They really shouldn't call this mobile version 10.1 because people will think the experience will be the same as a desktop edition, when it really isn't. No one quite knows. Back to the topic of the thread, I think its a big ridiculous that Nokia can't make the effort to update Flash. As some have said, they've been demoing 10.1 on the N900 as early as Fall 2009(granted the reports may be incorrect about the version) and here we are 6 months later and Nokia has nothing concrete about the topic. I'm not even asking for hardware acceleration, but just allow us to see the content. I have no real idea of what the difference from Flash 9 to Flash 10(or even Flash 10 to Flash 10.1), but I don't understand why Flash is so fragmented in the sense that its not backwards compatible by any means. They really just need to do something because for this device to already be nearly done in a 6 month span is an extreme disappointment. I understood that the lack of apps was a shortcoming, but the Browser was meant to complete the experience, but without all the features of the Browser, the phone will be a bit disappointing. I haven't even finished paying the thing off yet!
