Thank you for this. I understand that this is going to take some time but please keep us updated on the progress.

If you were applying for it without lying to them (as I was), you won't get it, for on the TI page it now says
IMPORTANT:

* This Evaluation/Demo code is provided ONLY for users developing products with Texas Instruments Cortex-A8 based microprocessors (ie: Sitara and DaVinci platforms).
Previously, it said "including Sitara and DaVinci platforms".

There is also little hope, I'm afraid, TI can be talked into giving it to our community, since they now say
This code is NOT intended for production use. If you intend to ship this software with your product, please contact Adobe or Adobe partners directly for any necessary qualification and licensing.
But the latter statement seems to leave open the possibility that for instance Carsten/Stskeeps asks Adobe for permission to ship it to extras-devel....

I've just talked with a certain Nokia-afflliated person on IRC. He said - And I believe him when he says this - that Nokia will ignore most if not all request/complaint posts on the forum. After all, they could be faked, right?
Now, while its incredibly unlikely that -this many- posts are all faked, I understand where he's coming from.

What he suggests doing is calling or emailing NokiaCare with our complaints and suggestions. One or two won't make a difference, but if we get a couple hundred unique emails sent; a bunch of calls in... That might get someone to take notice.

Now, in order to do this, the complaint should be something like "I cant load -major site X-". You can ignore TweakFlashPlayer, because -they- shouldn't know about it and its third-party software also. Just disable that, then complain about some major site you can't access.

You can try emailing through the form here: http://www.nokiausa.com/get-support-...are/contact-us
Or call 1-866-59NOKIA (1-866-596-6542).
And remember, be an obstinate consumer. You paid for this dang device, and its supposed to have Flash. Why isn't it working?!??


It can't hurt.

P.S. If you find a good email or number of someone who might be better than the official number/email... Let us know.

Note that the latest issue is strictly on a TI <-> community relation. Nokia has no say in what distribution deal TI has with Adobe nor whether TI will let us have this or that (we *can* ask for logistics and insight, though). Already pointed out a couple of times - Nokia does listen (though not in the context of 'obey', but rather as input). As for subject matter, it doesn't take a PR rocket scientist to realize not having an up-to-date Flash Player is not exactly an advantage, even if there were zero complaints about it on talk.

In addition to this, instead of posting your frustration about absence of newer Flash versions for N900 here, *also* post it @ Nokia Discussion Forums [1] , with effort of our community and majority of our whining team, we can flood that forum with complaints, make them look very, VERY bad company on their own forums -and sometimes I think it's a correct statement tbh- and push/force them to make a marketing stunt to get us to shut up

Worth trying.

Off-topic: Seems like TI stopped sending copies of Flash 10 software, and since nobody wants to share it with others or the community, It looks like our last chance of getting Flash 10 on our devices (even illegally) is now vanished.

No. Contact has been made and talks are ongoing. They have just been stunned by the huge number of requests received from Maemo folks, so please refrain from any outbursts or premature conclusions until any kind of resolution and announcement is made.

Please avoid starting forum wars, the successes of those historically approaches zero. Flooding official Nokia forums can result (depending on language used and other circumstances) in moderator action and will only make it harder for the voices of reason be heard (think about why Nokia communicates via a Community Council and does not get into our talk thread business). On a side note, maemo.org is way (*way*) higher ranked on google and judging by the number of backlinks, influences the blogosphere more than the Nokia Discussion Forums.

I dont think the cpu on the N900 can handle flash 10. I put it on a PC I was fixing, it had 1.7ghz cpu which when running flash 10 in 360 on youtube the cpu was running at 100% and the picture was real laggy.
