...nokia n900 1ghz processor and flash 9
Yes, OS2008 did bump the processor in N800s above the normal clock speed for that OMAP SoC, but in that case, Nokia had paid TI all along for speed binned parts, tested and certified to be stable at the higher speed. That's not true of the N900.

"The ARM Cortex™-A8 processor is based on the ARMv7 architecture and has the ability to scale in speed from 600MHz to greater than 1GHz."
I have "overclocked" my N900 @1150MHz, and I have no problems at all...

Based on what I know, the secret dialogs (very likely) went like this:
Nokia: "Adobe, TI, Please get flash 10.x running on OMAP 3. Here's some money to do it."
Adobe and TI: "OK!"
<they go away for a while, then come back>
Adobe and TI: "Here you go! Flash 10!"
Nokia: "Wow. This is really slow and jerky. It's like there's no hardware acceleration at all. This is even worse than the current Flash we have. Can you please make the performance acceptable on current generation OMAP 3 devices, like our N900?"
Adobe and TI: "Oh probably. Give us some more money and we'll see what we can do."
Nokia: "More money? But you didn't give us anything yet!"
Adobe and TI: "Sure we did! You just asked for Flash 10, and we gave you that. You didn't say anything about performance."
Nokia: "But reasonable performance was implied."
Adobe and TI: <looking at their contracts> "Nope. Nothing in here about that."
Nokia: "You know what? Never mind. We have a bunch of new, faster devices coming out in Q4 2010 that will run this slug at reasonable speeds."
Of course, the expected devices have yet to come out, but ...
Since nokia still paid for it...

Yeah, yeah, I know:
Of course, some people may be able to overclock (I don't know the percentages), but if Flash 10.x requires a higher frequency CPU then Nokia won't release it on the N900, i.e. Nokia won't force people to exceed the designed specs. Of course, that doesn't mean that people cannot overclock and try to hack 10.1 onto the N900 anyway, just that it means it probably won't come from Nokia, if the claim that it requires a faster CPU is correct.
