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...
Minor comment - my daughter really likes my N900 because it supports shockwave games, like on miniclip.com. In a way, the N900 does fufill this part of the 'full internet.'
