I'm not happy about idea of flash dead. That all crap about flash being a bad platform is nothing but apple's propaganda. I mean if you could run flash 10 years ago on much weaker processors why would it be an such a cpu hog now when we have greater processors in our mobile phones ?
Also Flash is not open thats a big reason it probadly will not work on Meego core platform. Nokia and others will probadly add it but as a closed component and then people will again start wining about nokia not open sourcing everything even if it is not theayr fault.
Yet a reason I hope flash dies asap.
HTML5 is atleast more open and alot of manufactors prefer going in that direction. Ofcourse Microsoft will be slow like hell inmcluding it in IE, but Geeko/Webkit engines already have alot of the HTML5 stuff.

I can remember the days before HTML 4.0.1 became a standard.

Meego has just entered Beta stage, which is a little later than originally planned.

(besides apple has 6different book readers for 6different books).
What a lot of people are forgetting is that MeeGo isn't exactly a brand new platform. It's all the work that has gone into Moblin+all the work that has gone into Maemo 1-5.
Think of it in the light of Debian and Fedora merging. Imagine all the awesome things that could come out of that?
Not that I am saying that would be a good thing. it would do Linux as a whole, a lot of good. Developers from both sides improving the 'platform'. This is in essence what happened with MeeGo. We have the Maemo Team and the Moblin team making a Linux Platform for mobile computing. It is something a lot of people have been waiting for.
I think it's awesome that we, as N900 owners, get to be the first to actually use it. Even if it isn't exactly usable now. the fact that we can eve dual-boot a cell phone is in itself, amazing.

P.S. The N900 is truly the first cell phone that I know of that reminds me of 'future' tech that was mentioned in sci-fi of earlier decades, and people whine about it....
