Flash Lite updates don't count.
As it stands though, the part they're correct about is that the update, while shown as very possible has not yet happened.
Nor will it. Want to address anything, address that.

im going for a galaxy tab 9am tomorrow morning, still a little unsure about it as i know nothing about android, having only gave nokia my money for the past 10 years!
lack of flash support and half baked firmwares did it,
AND ITS YOUR LOSS NOKIA as far as im concerned,
sure, ill want the n9 when its released, but if there not releasing it until it actually works properly (for a change!) thats not gonna be until 2012 at least!
also while im venting... i bought my wife an ipad recently and was blown away with the shiny polished os and the quality of the apps!
its like ive had my head in a box for the past few years!
(keeping my n900 to use as a phone still, so dont flame me too much!)

cfh11, thanks for informative response.
3) For example, http://rutube.ru/tracks/1111536.html...a6934dc3e855c2 won't work at all.
Videos from video.aol.com are heavilly dropping frames.

slender, thanks for a link to post by quole, this was informative reading.
jakiman, I'm talking about hardware-accelerated flash videos, not version spoofing.
I feel ya. But yeah, this has all been discussed before.

And as for hardware acceleration - I have the feeling that there is a lot of smoke-and-mirrors going on as to what is actually accelerated on what platform and on what devices.

vimeo.com works great in the ipad browser, and i mean really great, awesome HD quality, i take it thats running html5 ?
not really sure what that is but seem to remember peope saying pr1.2 would bring html5 support, yet vimeo still wont work
and ipad does apparently play flash via the skyfire app, from what ive read it converts the flash video to html5 before sending it to the device, could that not be a solution for the n900?

This thread -> to the trash bin...
We already have one big thread about this subject - why bothering to elaborate the same things over and over in different threads? Just because the OP wanted some personal attention? Then he should go and adopt a dog or something... Why bother us?

jakiman, I'm talking about 1/5 of the videos which I personally want to watch.
attila77, maybe you are right and I expect too much...

Their move to FP10 though was almost immediate - and really frustrating. Their older video player didn't use any bit of the newer FP10 features either. Not from what I could see.
The standard browser on the N900 is marginally HTML5 compliant - I say that with some reserve since HTML5 isn't a standard as of yet.
