Please - don't support extensive use of flash content on maemo.. Developers are trying to push qt, linux core, opengl, common GUI - yet with flash, you get to use none of these features.. The only thing you get is nasty cpu usage, ok-today-i-feel-funny-so-let's-make-red-on-blue-with-octagonal-buttons user interfaces and maybe a on-desktop youtube video player (which still is like 20x slower than regular mplayer, only adobe knows why)..

Flash games - these could be ok... On the other hand, on PC I had opportunity to try a few flash apps (image editors, text editors etc.) - and these were all so incredibly lazy and non-standard looking, oh dear... And you had to have an internet access, of course...

The same thing with web widgets usage - why do you want full grown OS underneath - when you end up only using web browser, which slows down things a lot - no matter how optimized the javascript engine is...?

Why do you need Maemo, when you only want flash and web content? Maemo is operating system, not a web browser.... Think about it...
