Well wait... I didn't mean to come off as implying that.

I said that, to date, that is the only possible reason I (me, myself, maybe Irene too) can fathom.

It makes little->no sense to me for Adobe to have pulled the plug *after* demoing it. But as you said, it's happened before with other companies so it's not definitive by any means... I just doubt it.

Also, things could be totally out of context like Woody said: Maybe qole's source was meaning that Nokia was not going to be releasing 10.1 for the N900... but that doesn't stop Adobe from releasing an installable DEB file for it. Or an installable addon package for Firefox that already is on the N900.

Nothing at this point is definitive. It's just, to me so far, if the N900 never gets an official flash from either party - I can only see it being a business decision from Nokia.

Now, I am sure the N900 will get it *some* how.. especially with MeeGo/Harmattan being on identical hardware, and Harmattan even having some shared roots with Maemo - an "unofficial" copy of the .so file will likely work. Will that be legal? ... debatable I'm sure... but that isn't going to stop people from distributing it for "Flash 10.1".

So still.. I just see no upside for Adobe to have pulled the plug.
