For the record - we did. The first release of the Web Runtime, an update to QtMobility and a low-level camera API no other platform has. All this while most of Nokia was on vacation. The problem is that users have firmware blindness - no service or upgrade is noticed unless it is part of a firmware. Which is bad, because at some point some manager will say 'hey, why release this, let's wait and run it through the firmware process, if that makes people happy'.

That said, I wouldn't hold my breath for Flash 10. By now it is clear that the Open Screen Project does not work, and that vendors do not wish bear the cost Adobe is trying shift to them. Currently, this means Flash ports are done by 3rd parties (like Movial doing Flash for MeeGo and Android), which in turn means an almost guaranteed bad support cycle. I'm not too optimistic on the future of Flash on mobile platforms, the youngest crop of Android devices got 10.1, but every next upgrade will be fight even for them.
