I've stated it over and over that Adobe needs to place the Flash Player out there for Cydia.

just to clarify: Cydia is the appmanager+appstore front end for unauthorized apps, accessible only by jailbroken iDevices 
I think that will truly enrage steve jobs... i've no idea what other bridges he'd burn toward Adobe if they do that...

The most important message was all of delays was because of vendors (of specific devices) Didn't provide driver support! Who does, get it working.
Can you write a game for my device if i will not give you a driver for my graphic card even if OS is yours? C'mon people!

The trouble is you DID make the game for the SAME graphics card for other platforms. Not to mention the detail that hardware acceleration or particular devices ARE NOT A REQUIREMENT even on your own page. Last, but not least, Maemo uses the same browser APIs as any desktop Linux does, so there is nothing to special to disclose (is it Canonical’s fault Adobe pulled HW accelerated Flash 10.1 from 64bit Ubuntus ?)
Gosh I would like to find this stuff I've read 5 days ago. But now I suspect they took it off for reason
Edit:
But don't get me wrong, I agree that if you look at what the whole campaign promised it was wide coverage of mobile devices. In this case looks like flash 10.1 release is pretty formal and didn't ad big value to the market. Maybe only Android Team is a winner in this case but this is still under consideration.
Edit 2
go there
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/f...#release_notes
and try to click on
Where can I find a list of known issues?/release notes
or
System Requirements/See the full release notes
Maybe I've got something wrong but it just doesn't work for me now :/

The Open Screen project was a nice, grand but slow project, a little late, no biggie. But with the turn of events in the last 6 months suddenly everything shifted to overdrive. With the iOS rebellion, Adobe needs Flash on a major mobile platform competing with Apple *NOW*, hence the 100% Android focus. Nokia needs 100% focus to make MeeGo and a Qt based ecosystem ready by N9 or they are really in trouble (bigger trouble than if none of us and our family and their friends never buy a Nokia again). That’s my guess why there is no frantic activity around Flash 10.1 on Maemo. Considering that Nokia does not win anything by NOT having Flash on the N900 (the N8 does not have it and the N9 is half a year away), that’s the one remotely reasonable explanation I can think of (with the presumption that Nokia and Adobe DO have a strategy
).

Isn't it just a bit pathetic that the most authoritative statement on that subject has come from Qole, who, last I heard, is not employed by any company, let alone Nokia?
And attila77 is right about my source's job title. I attended a presentation and asked him privately afterwards, and I simply relayed to you what he told me. And as I've said, I'd love to be wrong.

In retrospect, Nokia was not among the myriad of companies that issued a letter of support for Flash recently, the OpenScreen Fund did not progress beyond it’s 2008 page and Flash Lite. But it gets more interesting... There is not a single Nokia related news or device video which is made after October 2009, and from the mobile-world-all-star-CEO-lineup video, conspiculosly, there are two representatives missing - Apple and Nokia (+maybe TI). Considering that Symbian is not strictly a Nokia thing, I’m starting to think it’s not impossible Nokia is not that fond of Adobe any more.
here is a good read about their strategy

All times are GMT. The time now is 01:55.
What other company chooses to release information in this way?
This sounds like a deep background statement like an administration official would make about using missles in Pakistan.
All I want is 40 acres, a mule, and Xterm.
