well, nitdroid gingerbread+ flash 10.2 ??? is the better option
Ok not really sure I understood what this post meant. But keep in mind Android is still actively being developed by Google. Not to mention the fact that adobe made sure that flash would work on Android first because they wanted to stick it to Apple.

Would it be difficult for websites to have an option to stream the same video using version flash 9? I know it's a bit far stretched.. but if it's not too much work for them and they make money from the advertisement, then maybe we can convince sites like justin.tv to have that option?!

Well youtube has transcoded almost all it's videos to webm, at least the most viewed ones (webm is viewable through an HTML5 browser).

So the rest are bound to follow some time soon.
This though beckons the question of when are we getting an HTML5 browser with webm support and hardware acceleration (useless elsewise) on the N900.

I strongly believe: NEVER!

The difficulty is "only" getting an OMAP3 accelerated codec, other than that it's fairly easy as we can have up-to-date webkit builds.

Normally it's not the video file itself requiring Flash 10, it's the playback component. As Flash v10 is now waaaay up in the high 95%+ penetration, and N900 users make a tiny tiny fraction of what's left, and we're a dead platform which will only loose users over time, why would they invest the time and money ?

Now, Meego, that's a different question, and I'm out of touch with what Flash/AIR support has been promised for that.

Hm yes, but is n900 the only mobile device with this problem?

In any case thankfully n900 has good spec for other OS but I got mine second hand recently and I wonder if mine will last for when meego comes out

1. People always put the latest version of Flash in the checks to force-upgrade people, which results in a fairly braindead update process.

2. Adobe has the final say of what device (doesn't) get Flash through their certification process and license agreements.

What, having a dead O/S ? Of course not...

Actually, most people don't, because there's never any need to go back and update the minimum version required unless/until you use a new feature that requires the update.
