WTF indeed Atilla77. You are a respected senior member of the forum and a council member at that and so.. WTH were you smoking when you said that?

The N900 with the Maemo5 platform simply never sold enough to attract Adobe to do the flash work themselves. Bet you a 100 bucks that if M5 platform sold in huge numbers they would be all over it, just like they are dying for Apple to take it.

Yes, Adobe is a prick for leaving Linux out for most of the time. But how can you even confuse normal Linux distributions business case out there with no manufactures exclusively using them to push their hardware vs something like Nokia's Linux based distributions M5/M6/etc.

As for Nokia, they never intended to push Maemo5 beyond what it is. Launched it as a niche product and killed it prematurely by shrugging and hiding every shortcoming by re asserting its a niche product.

Its all about business. Has nothing to do with M5s Debian roots. M6/Harmattan/Meego-Instance if I'm not mistaken is also Debian based. But I'm sure its going to get flash. Would make no business sense to launch a spanking new hardware with an important(disclaimer: neccessary evil to me) functionality like Flash missing.

So yeah the maybe the responsibilty should be Adobe's to support all the platforms with equal love. But the blame is on Nokia for not doing what was necessary for M5.

PS: Saw your second post too. Still doesn't explain the silence on Nokia's part. Neither does tying Adobe's hands to release any possible information.

PS2: Ok. You do agree on Nokia's stoic but frankly ridiculous silence
Having Qgil is a positive indeed, but how much he is restricted by Nokia is pathetic IMO.

Feels like such a damn wasted oppurtunity. Perfect ingredients, perfect recipe, prob perfect outlook too, but just fsked up completely on execution and follow through by Nokia. Aarghh.
