This is why Flash is bad. Not because Steve says so (he just wants it his way) but because when Adobe decides you aren't worth the effort, you get locked out of chunks of the web. It should absolutely NOT be like this.
WHAT???

Adobe did their part. I blame 100% Nokia on this.

I'm sure Adobe has Flash 10.1 working for the iPhone, Steve Jobs is the one that doesn't want it.

I suppose. My take on the problem is with the dependence on Flash in the first place, and how they insist on treating devices like the N900 as somehow being special.

I kinda applaud for his decision, it's like spanking Adobe for sleeping on the wheel all these years; but it seems that they're still sleeping as usual ever since. May be Steve spanked them too hard.

My take on this is that whoever is making decisions at Nokia think about it this way:

We already have their money.
If they want the latest version of Flash and Meego, they can buy our new Nokia models coming out soon.

The perils of closed source. People start asking for money and then the bean counters take over.

Steve Jobs decision not to want Flash on their devices is all about control and $. Nothing more.

Again, we don't have Flash 10.1 on our N900's because of Nokia, not Adobe.
Flash 10.1 was shown working on the N900 almost a year ago!

Wrong, Steve Jobs already has flash installed in his jailbroken iPhone.

All these months people haven't managed to hack newer flash from other devices to run in the N900?
