Then comments that the Flash performance is not better on Android than the N900 need to stop. It's simply not true on all accounts.
And I'm not talking about the $99 Android phones either. N900 didn't cost $99 when it came out, now did it?

Now, with that said, who brought FP10 to the Droid? Adobe? No. Google? No. Motorola. Yes.
Nokia hasn't done that. And the statements that FP10 is not as good on Android as it is at version 9.4 is quite wrong in so many different ways; and in order to avoid petty semantics or whatever nitpick methods to prove a very minor point utilized by people on this board, I discounted the usage of the $99 Android phones that people point to that didn't get updates past 1.6 or don't have FP10 or don't have a good GPU or CPU as compared to the Droid or my aforementioned Captivate.
So with that said, what is your point? It works on other platforms just fine.

That's a comparison of about... 7 Droids, only one was bad.

His Flash 10 works similar to how the Flash 9.4 worked on the N900 before websites started "requiring" Flash 10 (or whatever works with Tweak Flash). Not sure how his performs on Flash 10 specific content/features compared to the N900's non-function on Flash 10 specific content/features since we didn't try any. Last thing he showed me was watching Hulu via Skyfire. I think that's how he views most heavy flash based content nowadays.

Flash content that requires FP10 would be based around DRM based media served up via Flash Media Server, 3D, bitmap effects (most are FP9 compatible) and many other updates to the FP framework that include stuff built in Flash Builder (Flex 4 SDK) or Flash Catalyst.
Thus... I need FP10. Can't use Flash Tweak since I'm using true libraries that require FP10.
