Adobe CS5 just shipped... and 10.1 is still the newest flash player. I doubt that 11 will be out for at least a few more quarters.

It's no damn way to run a company, especially when they are making such a big deal of the openness of Meego and at the same time alienating the community that is such a big part of that openness.
Wow. No offense Bratag; however over the years your opinion has easily been one that I've paid close attention to while here.

Just surprised to see this... but I respect it.

How reliable is this source? I have seen flash 10 demonstrated on Nokia N900. There should be absolutely no reason for not releasing it!!
If this is true then Nokia, not Adobe is holding back!

Complaining about nokia not handing out firmware updates quickly enough is one thing, but if they're holding back software that's been developed to try and make people upgrade to N900+1 that's another thing entirely.
I don't agree or join in with the people who complain because the N900 doesn't do X, when nokia never said it would do X, but if nokia are holding back software that exists then I think it's legitimate to complain and weigh it against any future purchasing decisions.

Just a little ticked at Nokia who seem to be saying "Hey look how we support open source/development" on one hand. Yet the device that lends itself to that the most in their lineup, seems to be getting the pointy end of the pineapple.

Maybe I am just in a bad mood at the moment

Nope, pineapples are pointy, pretty much everywhere

I do not have a very groovy feeling that 10.1 will be released for the N900- unless via Meego later in the year- assuming N900 is given the option, of course.

Maemo is essentially a dead platform from Nokia's perspectives. I won't be surprised that PR1.2 will be the last update and that Flash 10.1 will not be (officially) supported for Maemo.

Only way for the N900 to have more updates in the future is Nokia's decision on fully supporting Meego on the N900.

I won't condemn Nokia if this doesn't make it to the N900 because Flash 10 would have been a nice addition to this phone, but I will be a little disappointed. I guess now we play the waiting game.

Any updates on this, zwer?

I'm already coming to terms that flash 10.1 is not going to happen for Maemo 5, but it would be interesting to at least understand why. To be honest, I'm pretty sure the blame is going to be on Nokia. They've pulled stupid stuff like this again and again - announce a new platform/theme/concept/application with huge promises of growth *ahem, N-Gage* and then they completely abandon it.

I too am sick of this, Nokia needs to stick with things instead of constantly testing new ideas; however, I have not yet seen another mobile OS worth switching to... WP7 looks rather iffy at the moment, I really don't like android and it's inefficient hardware use (also, task manager much? nothing compared to Maemo 5, or even symbian, lol), and the fruit phone is just plain silly with overlord Steve Jobs trying to slither his filthy hands into my wallet each time I push a button.

All of this being said, I'm almost tempted to go back to Symbian. It's trusty, the media player works flawlessly (unlike maemo, stupid incorrect album titles, no album editing! ugh!) Free maps, more apps, Symbian^3+, Qt, and sweet cameras are only the beginning - but that's nothing compared to continual support with long term plans/promises that are actually being kept. Sort of. Lol.

It probably takes a fair amount of money to get a new version of flash onto a device. With the N900 already old in mobile phone terms, Nokia is just moving on.
