The Java VM and tools are open source these days.

OpenJDK != Sun Java JDK, at least that was the situation last time I checked. There are still several components not released to the public, but Sun's effort is nonetheless praiseworthy. Since Sun is behind the OpenJDK project, you are technically correct - they did release the tools and the VM as open-source, just not the `original` thing - where Adobe released Flex SDK that is their main toolchain used by their own IDEs (there is no `commercial Flex SDK` and `OpenFlexSDK`).

It's a matter of semantics, I didn't mean to say that Java is closed-source or restricted in any way, far from it. I'd take it even a step further and speculate that Adobe would never open the Flash platform as they did if Sun didn't make the first move.

...according to appleinsider.com. Ok - bad news for us waiting to get it - but may help Nokia to finally ship PR1.2.

...most of us - from what I could read here - were hoping to get it with PR1.2. And (yes: rumor again) it was said to be one of the reasons PR1.2 taking some time to be released.
At least this is clear now: no Flash 10.1 in PR1.2 - hopeing it will be released within the month of April...

This is the beginning to Flash's death. The late release of 10.1 for all platforms, including Windows.

I couldn't run Flaemo project and become N900 owner without ensure Flash 10.1 will be available on this device. This video is 6month old and everyone in Flash community know that stuff watching it twice per day

.

But also I can't see any connection with N900 firmware. All flash players always had being shipped as independent package for any platform. The only reason can be that there is more magic required to install it but personally I'll be disappointment if that's true.

P.S. Don't forget Flash 10.1 means Flash AIR run-time as well.

EDIT:

Please... It wasn't first time Adobe delaying public release. But they have many good reasons for that. Information floating around in Flash community. Stop repeat iShit fun boys propaganda.
