I would like to second this. Some definitive statement from Nokia is needed. One of the reasons I got the N900 was because of is flash support.

For instance... Cummins Diesel makes engines for Ford in a partnership. If I had a question about their Ford implementation of their diesel engines... I'd go straight to Ford.

How is that applicable? Adobe makes the Maemo/ARM implementation of their ubiquitous (proprietary, et al) Flash Player for Nokia to be used in the Maemo OS. If I have a question, using the aforementioned logic, I would go to Nokia first.

I think a concerted effort would yield better results than a bunch of rabble-rousers not saying pretty much the same thing: "Where's the Adobe Flash Player 10.1, that was shown in alpha or beta form at Adobe MAX last year for the Maemo 5, a product that's out right now?"
The question is how are you going to make anyone listen? Even with a great mass of determined "rage" there probably would just be an answer that "I´m sorry, flash 10.1 is not coming". I am beginning to lose hope after waiting for the flash upgrade to come for Maemo (you can remember the video where flash 10.1 is run in N900?).

For me it is not end of the world. The sales would not go up if they put more money onto developing a dead system... My so called "nerdrage", if you get the joke, was aroused by Nokia being too quiet of the matters. There is no proper link between the community and the developers of Maemo.

The point is that a trusted member of the community heard of this remark from someone that it seems that he trusted enough.

Of course there are other possibilities in this matter... that the statement was misunderstood, or the source was mistaken, or nokia changes their plan for the 'better'...

*shrugs*

I hadn't intended to direct the "q" correction specifically at you. I have seen many references to "Qole" recently, so I tacked the "small 'q'" fact to your list.

Anyone notice he says "Flash 10" and not "Flash 10.1"

In all of his tweets about the subject

I'm still asking... where is the proof that it is coming?

I'll go with what is known...

Flash Player 10.1 for Android signup. There isn't one for Maemo.

An OS list that has the following:

Flash Player include: Android, Microsoft Windows Phone 7, Palm webOS, and Symbian S60 V5...
No comment about Maemo at all.

That's all I do know.

Now... where is the proof that it is coming? No room for circular logic; Nokia has no proof. The vendor of the app is showing no signs that Nokia Maemo is a target. And Nokia isn't answering jackshit.

state of maemos flash 10 is pure speculation with those sources.

"there will be no flash 10 to N900" @ nokia conversations or similar official place would be a proof.
