I really dont understand the need for flash on mobile devices, its not like we can take full advantage of these sites anyway as there made with mouse input in mind.
to be honest all this whining about flash is because people think their missing out on something, if flash wasnt around would we all be listening to users crying wolf at the lack Vimeo support on their mobile devices??

Its possible on the N900 - there are several videos showing it working and we knew it was coming to the nexus as well. All this really proves is that android releases are leakier than an antique water closet. When its released main stream then I will get excited.

I don't care about mainstream, that is why i have an n900.

I just think Flash is bloated, a resource hog and generally an online video player (a bad one at that but people thinj the ui is so "shiney"!).
I just think upgrading the n900 browser with html 5 tags (e.g. video tags) would be better.
There are sites out there that already have "beta" versions of html 5 video-enabled pages.
I just think Flash is over-rated.

But seriously, we've been down this avenue of discussion before and obviously faster flash would be better. Why there has to be hardware acceleration for it to work faster than cold tar is a mystery to me, but so be it.
It will come when it comes...

i would love for flash to be replaced using something that is an open standard like html5 but the fact of the matter is that about 1/3 of all internet sites use some sort of flash and to expect them all to rewrite their webpages is rediculous. I use my n900 as much if not more than my laptop so it needs to be able to visit every site that my laptop can, so yes it really does need flash 10.1 just so it can handle those heavy flash sites.

I wouldn't mind if flash will be released as beta. It would go in line with maemo on this phone :P
