This has nothing todo with Apples propaganda. Flash has been an big issue on the linux platform for long and flash is not opotimized on Linux desktop and is buggy, slow, eating CPU on desktop platform to.

Also Flash is not open thats a big reason it probadly will not work on Meego core platform. Nokia and others will probadly add it but as a closed component and then people will again start wining about nokia not open sourcing everything even if it is not theayr fault.

Yet a reason I hope flash dies asap.

HTML5 is atleast more open and alot of manufactors prefer going in that direction. Ofcourse Microsoft will be slow like hell inmcluding it in IE, but Geeko/Webkit engines already have alot of the HTML5 stuff.
