You're right.. I think the N900 hopefully marks an end of "here is a platform designed for one device" and the introduction of "here is a platform for many devices"
Maemo 5 is designed for the N900 where as Android is designed for numerous devices and platforms (hence why it'll run on the N900) For Nokia to keep up with the rest of MeeGo, they'll need to adopt that approach.. It's what user's are definitely starting to expect in a big way..

re-phrasing mister Gibson, the answer for your request is already here - it is just unevenly distributed

There is a reason why Nokia brought the latest version of QT to the N900.
Now, I agree with everyone that said Nokia is being way too secretive about everything. For a device that's built around the developers and early adopters, the silence strategy is not a way to handle device suppport. It should be the exact opposite because developers who invest so much time in bringing apps to the platform need to be aware of what is going on. Nokia should be working closely with the community and should keep them in the loop.
If this does not happen, you have situations like these where a RC is released and the community turns into a mob due to lack of direction. This is bad PR and will affect brand loyalty in the future, especially with part time developers because that's where the real innovation comes from. If you are listening Nokia, forward this post to Ari Jaaski.

The problem is we don't know if Meego on the N900 will get Flash 10.1.
The only thing we know it will get is hardware support (as in the hardware will work) and probably boot into some rudimentary GUI that may not look like what Meego/Harmattan is getting.

And that's a missed opportunity to me.
I really doubt the Flash version running on a device will make people buy it... I bet no-one will change from the N900 to its successor because of the higher Flash version.
While I do agree that a lot of people will not upgrade from the N900 to the next version just for Flash, I know that some folks - like myself - want the ability to use a full-blown Flash player and we're heavy Flash users or worse... developers.

It was a carefully worded sentence.

but in the last years nokia is going wrong way....
the n8 will be the same crap as n97 or any other symbian phone....
or do anyone realy think nokia will change anything except the name and the color of the buttons?? i will never buy a nokia phone again except they change their thinking.... and their support for existing phones....
