I think all mobile platforms will do some "optimizing" to get most out of it without killing their battery life time. And from a release management point of view - up to now a new Flash player version (look at Symbian) has always been included into a (new) "firmware" package.
Anyway - the delay is a sad news but a fact.

Pretty ballsy to predict the fall of Adobe Flash due to a delay for a dot revision of the Flash Player. I know that it means that they tweaked the living daylights of the memory usage, what not (I'm an Adobe Flex dev) but to be honest Nokia has bigger problems... like the still unclear upgrade path to deal with.

And look at the announcement again. Maemo/MeeGo is not listed.

Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen, in an interview with FOX Business, has revealed that flash 10.1 support for WebOS and BlackBerry phones would arrive slightly later than expected in the second half of 2010.

The statement around "business" instead of "technical" was also made by the Adobe CEO is sorta odd too. Anyway, the death of Flash has been predicted many times over.

Still waiting.

Flash 10.1 is Mobile "optimizing" version of Flash 10 ([edit:] itself), that's why is not Flash 11

Quite wrong. Flash 10.1 is an optimized version of their Flash Player on all platforms, including mobile too. This is a time where all versions of the Flash Player will have a certain parity that was lacking before.

You can get Flash Player 10.1 for your PC right now - http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/

You're wrong too. Flash Player is the next PR 1.2. I am soon expecting a 100 page thread speculating about its release.

Your proof? Links to idle speculation will be overlooked.

Try to be precise with such statements - you can get/download the "release candidate" which has nothing go to do with a FINAL version (which obviously won’t come before the second half of 2010) and should be used for testing/development purposes only.

Correction noted.

But the fact stands, 10.1 will exist very soon; Flash Player 11 isn't even part of the forthcoming Adobe CS5 release (I beta tested that too) and it's not just for mobile optimization; it's about optimization.

And it'll be delayed. And if it's part of PR1.2; I want proof.

What I meant was the Flash 10.1 will be treated like PR 1.2 and not that it will be included in PR 1.2. People will soon start 100-page threads speculating when Flash 10.1 will be released like the current thread about PR 1.2.

Ok I wasn't precise forgot to ad "Itself".
No doubt Flash is cross platform tech and I see your point that someone could get me like Flash 10.1 is another one Flash lite or something...

It's cool I am dealing with betas from half an year but it's pretty useless for me to prepare something for Tap, Gestures, GPS, accelerometer and all of this cool things because I have no chance to test it on N900. But I am sure they have some version for this platform if they working on it. Any chance to get even beta here?
