My guess is that Adobe is trying to double dip. Nokia paid for a license for v9 on the N900, but Adobe demanded another license for v10.1. The lovely nature of the commercial software business.

Whether Adobe will have a free license for MeeGo ARM Handset (from meego.com) is an important consideration.
Speculation? Conspiracy? Capitalism?

unrelated, off-topic, meh...

I think GPU acceleration was dropped from pretty much everything except windows and perhaps some specific android devices.

I just tried and found that it works and is very simple to do.

Firefox mobile lists /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so as the location of its flash player, but also has a copy located in /home/user/.mozilla/plugins. The current build of firefox mobile(4.0b1) has plugins disabled so I cannot test these changes.

Simple Install Guide:
1. Obtain file from TI
2. On a linux pc run the file(you will need to enable exec rights on the file)
3. Follow the installer and then go to the path specified in the installer and grab the libflashplayer.so
4. Copy libflashplayer.so to somewhere on your n900(via ssh or via mass storage mode)
5. sudo gainroot
mv /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so.bak
if copied to mass storage: cd /home/user/MyDocs/
cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
6. start the browser and it should all work

If I ask "why", will it be a rhetorical question? =)

Essentially, he's complaining that he hasn't received the plugin when he registered and is attempting to entice people that did to upload it.
