Well if that's what it takes to sink Android, then so be it. Flash on a phone as the primary vehicle for apps is such a colossally bad idea that i'm glad i won't have to be part of that "insanity" (as you so aptly describe it).

It's funny that the creep of minimum requirements by Adobe isn't recognized for what it is: a clear acknowledgment that Flash is too bloated to be a good idea for small battery-powered consumer devices.

Sure it would be nice if the N900 supported 10.1 so that the occasional website run by myopic designers that requires it can be accessed, but it's not really the loss you're making it out to be.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?
