...where "out of our control" can also mean "we don’t give a s**t, talk to your vendor, maybe he will take pity on you". It wasn’t out of their control to publish installs for Android (or X86 linux for that matter) on their own site. Nokia is just convenient to point fingers to as they usually do not respond, guilty or not. Plus, as said, what do you expect them to say ? Adobe sucks, they gave us half-finished crap and want us to do their job - and then just turn to Adobe and say - hey Adobe, sorry about the scene, are we still cool for the Symbian thing ? Lots of backroom things going on here, undoubtedly.

And while Nokia might be needed to do some browser/Maemo specific patches, it most certainly does not block Adobe to release a plain ARM Linux version on their site (even if MicroB is so "special" the generic NPAPI plugin could be used EASILY by 3rd party browsers like Fennec, Tear or projects like FlashLauncher).
