I went to the Adobe Flash download page and saw 5 different version of Flash 10.1 for Linux. It wouldn't take much for Adobe to port it over to Maemo.

I don't like having to visit 5 or more websites (OK... Sometimes it's only 1) to try and find some information which would have been available to me if I wasn't stopped by a lack of Flash 10.1 in my device. I went through the same thing (but much worse) with my previous phone (iPhone 1) and moved to the N900 to avoid it. Adobe can (more easily than anyone) and should port over one of their Linux versions of Flash 10.1 to the N900. Not doing so forces forces people to find (and become used to) other ways of accessing the information they need, reducing the need for Flash at all.
I was not taking for or against any company i was just giving an example. how the business is carried somethings are just intellectual property that no one can get even if the law says so because another law would overrite it. and yes there are some linux version of flash because adobe saw a potential market there and which they have not seen or realized for maemo, and any law cannot make any company make a product for specific market. same as i have a car and i want to put the chinese petroleum on my car but i live in usa, not necessarily chinese petroleum has to provide me there petrol because it is not feasible for their business.
