I feel it makes little sense to shoot yourself in the foot, which is what happened here if the flash-on-N900 thing was as simple as initially hinted (remember, there is actually no proof Flash 10 for the N900 ever existed - the site they demoed on the Adobe conference works on Flash 9, too). Forget the user-side whining and think like a ruthless corporate decisionmaker. Your flagship N97 can't get it, your upcoming hot model, the N8 can't get it, so you choose to omit it from your ONLY model that actually already HAS Flash and also the one that has been demoed on the Adobe conference, and one that is coincidentally one of your most expensive devices. The loss of not having it is obvious, but what are you gaining from not having it ? Some will say they are protecting the harmattan device, but that one is at least 6 months away, known to be nothing revolutionary in terms of hardware, and by the time it comes out (at least according to Adobe) Android, BlackBerry and S60 will already have Flash, so it's not exactly news. That's why I say it makes no sense for Nokia not to support it if it is as simple to do as Adobe says. Not because they are extremely kind, or because they care, or because people whine, b!tch and moan about it on a community forum, but because it makes no sense from a strictly business perspective.
