Yes well this being at an enthusiast forum, usually people here have the capital to change devices once a year and often do so. That's why I think sometimes people take what's happened with the N900 too seriously. For some reason for most the only outlet is finding out stuff that they're missing on, such as Flash 10 on Android. Why not appreciate and get interested about every option, because after all, as consumers we have all the power over manufacturers in terms of which devices we buy.

I kind of regretted saying that because you could interpret that as a very anti-American statement. I didn't mean it that way, I'm sorry if anyone thinks that.

I was referring to the fact that there's a bit of a trend these days where American bloggers gather all the attention (for eg. Engadget), and in the US the history of mobiles is very different (shorter) than in Europe. Sometimes I feel that all present-day events are regarded as if mobile history begun with the Motorola Razr. This thought didn't have much to do with the video, as yes the BBC is British, but I felt that it was being regarded with that limited way of appreciating mobile history. I feel that in the big picture Flash 10 support is just a nigglet of a feature that's somewhat missing from the N900 now.

I think we should also recognize that it is most likely that this feature by the BBC was a "paid ad" by either Google or Adobe. It's always a trade of somesort if not paid, such as views for the BBC site if they do this coverage.
