I'd prefer flash player to be fixed rather than pay for every game like iPhoners do ;-)

Well at least I can play tower defence fine

You can have a look at the arcade section of my forum for free N900 friendly flash games -> http://croggesserver.se/Serverforum/arcade.php

The forum for a private wow server which exists since years and is not related with mobile phones at all but the advantage here is that you have no advertisement or other things which eat resources while you are playing. It are around 120 games totally and a few which I tested like "Desktop TD" or "Boob Bubbles" work fine on my N900. I will add more games on request, just make a topic in the forum section.

I noticed that it helps to enable "Mouse Mode" in the N900 for games like tower defence, you can enable it by clicking on the lower left part in your browser.

Edit: Even more complex games like "rocket man" work quite smooth if you set the details to "low"

I also hope that it is not against the forum rules here to add the links in my post.

Ah, I like tower defense, too. On of my favorite games on the GP2x/Wiz is Sdef It's freeware but unfortunately no source available and it's not optimized for touchscreen.
Very abstract graphic but very well balanced and designed...

I think there needs to be some clarification about porting.

Simply finding a game and saying "hey this is awesome" does not necessarily mean it can be ported. As a rule you need several things for a port to be made they are (in no particular order)

1) The game not to be someone's IP - in this case popcap games own the rights etc to PvZ
2) Source code. The game is in this case a flash game so even if popcap was inclined to release the source, it wouldn't really be a port of code because it is a flash file.
3) A lot of time. Porting games - especially to a completely new platform is incredibly intensive and requires an investment of not hours but months as a rule (though this can vary depending on the availability of 2)

No was far as flash being fixed Arkanoid. The issue isn't with flash on the n900 but rather your lack of knowledge regarding the browser. To get a "mouse" that will be able to click on towers etc inside the flash game - swipe from the left side of the screen inwards - this will popup a little arrow which you click - you now have an interactive cursor. If you have trouble getting the mouse to show up read one of the dozens of threads on the subject.

i understand that not everything can be ported =)
I thought the game was installed on the pc, and not just a fash file. thats why i asked if it was possible to get it ported.
