Yeah, double clicking would be the best solution, but these are just possible alternatives if they don't implement your idea (PS: put it on brainstorm I guess?).

My Bad - you are right. Sorry
Still, for maximizing flash content, double clicking would still be easier.
EDIT:
OK... on second thought I think you would have to navigate in "hover mode" and then click with the shift key or space bar. Otherwise, it would be like navigating a page with the left mouse button depressed. That wouldn't really work.

You can of course also use the hardware keys for zooming in and then comfortably press the fullscreen button.

I really love the features discussed in the video. I just noticed though - Farmville gameplay loads so slow in this video. Is there anyway that I would be able to play flash games like how I see it on my desktop?

it is slow rendering of the pages.
long loading.
heavy content(flash movie playing apps, flash games) is slow.
just open task manager to see how much cpu power or ram Iexplorer.exe uses. mozilla the same. chrome as well.
having 3 webpages open at the same time on the n900 is probably ultimate drama.
having 1 porn-site open is probably the worst. lots of pictures, flash, java stuff, adds etc.
which makes me ask... how does a webbrowser in a mobile device like the N900 handles cookies? pop ups? non-secure websites? etc.

Does anyone know if the browser has smart keywords like Firefox? In my opinion they're one of the greatest usability improvements since tabs.
Not familiar? See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JlMeach_t4

@5:10 the screen blanks out black, and then white when re-maximizing a web-page from "the dashboard". Isn't the point of compositing to avoid such jarring transitions?

Regarding fullscreen flash content, I think implementing a 'double-tap' or 'long press' to maximize a video or game would greatly add to usability. I don't want to have to break out the stylus just to click the "fullscreen" icon on YouTube.

I can only see HD written in the title but the player still miss HD button as you usually see on HD youtube videos. This doesn't really count as playing HD video from youtube right ?
The smaller version (640x360) is just fine for a mobile device, if you ask me. It's YouTube after all, not a DVD player.
