I've said this on some other gaming thread, but note that the most similar platform to the N900, by quite a large margin, is the Palm Pre. Both in hardware and software. The Pre is not 800x480, but still. The Pre even uses NPAPI for plugins!

(I have _unmodified_ source code that runs on both the N900 and the Palm Pre --- no #ifdefs -- thanks to SDL).
That's the most interesting post out of this entire thread! I wonder if we as a community should see how much Palm Pre software is out there that could be easily ported over to the N900.

More apps the better. I still am of the opinion that Flash 10.1 will eventually come to the N900. Whether through grabbing it from a similar device or from Nokia or even from porting some of the reverse engineered versions of flash (gnash, lightspark). As long as we have compatibility with flash 10 sites, I think all will be well. Lightspark even uses OpenGL for acceleration. Time will tell.
