The format itself is open, AFAIK:

As I understand, it is just not a piece of cake to make a fully compatible and more (or at least equally) efficient player/plugin... Correct me if I'm wrong...

BTW, have you noticed an update to TI's Flash Demo here:
http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/fold...eflash-a8.html
(Feb 28)

Seems like it does support HW acceleration now, but I am not sure if N900 hardware is supported... Seems like it's not...

edit:
Or maybe it is? I see several OMAP3 processors on the list, but not the one used in N900... do they all use the same architecture? Then, when it comes to DSP, I am not really sure how its features are actually accessed - via some library I guess? If someone more familiar could answer all these questions...

After all, there is a single Flash binary covering many Android devices so I guess all this is done in a pretty flexible way, meaning that if a single Linux (probably Meego) ARM device gets the famous plugin in the future, we will be able to use it on N900.

What an imagination, huh
