Adobe has showed fully hardware accelerated Flash Player 10.1 running on Nokia N900 on October 05, 2009.

Since then, Texas Instruments has even published optimized for ARM Cortex-A8 Flash 10 binaries on it's website. (Which are not publicly available for download.)

N900 is a great device, but it's Flash support is crap. With Adobe Flash 9, which is the latest available version, I am able to play only about 20% of the flash videos on the net. I ask myself, why Nokia didn't include Adobe Flash 10.1 in it's recent software updates?

Needless to say, I'm really disappointed by this issue and I can only guess it's cause. I think that when Nokia management decided to abandon ARM platform altogether, they probably didn't want to pay Adobe for it's latest hardware optimizations.

And we, the people who bought N900, are the only one to loose. When I buy flagship device, I expect flagship support, which is definitely not the one I see coming from Nokia.

Since most of the Maemo software is opensource, we can fix lots of the issues on our own, but Adobe Flash is proprietary software, with it we are left to the tender mercies of Nokia and Adobe.

Ironically, current N900 Flash is older and slower than Adobe Flash on Android devices on the same processor. Google probably cares about it's customers a little more.

It's arguable that either iteration of the FP10 was accelerated - what was shown at Adobe MAX or the TI version.

And this thread sums up most of what you've brought up in one way or another.

N900 is a great device, but it's Flash support is crap. With Adobe Flash 9, which is the latest available version, I am able to play only about 20% of the flash wideos on the net. I ask myself, why Nokia didn't include Adobe Flash 10.1 in it's recent software updates?
