Flash Player 10 Win32/Linux available
 
Hi iTT'ers
I find a little weird that no one jumped on the forum looking for a Flash 10 released thread. Well here is the scoop:

"As recently as 2007, Linux users waited six months for Flash 9 to arrive. Now, with Microsoft pushing its Silverlight alternative, Adobe is touting the universality of its Flash format, which has penetrated '98 percent of Internet-enabled desktops,' it claims. And, it today released Flash 10 for Linux concurrently with other platforms. Welcome to the future."
Handily enough, Real Networks released this summer RealPlayer 11 for Linux, the first release for which they've included a .deb package, and offers nightly builds of their Helix player, for which Linux is one of the supported platforms.
So, Flash 10 on the N8xx? What would it involve?

Maybe people are finally realising that having a closed-source something on Linux/x86 doesn't help in any real way towards having it on Linux/ARM.

Has anybody tried gnash on the tablet?

Gnash works very well on my desktop PC, at least for youtube..

You can also try to install gnash but it runs SO SLOW on the n810 that it's not worth it at all

Yes, I guess so as it is also more cpu intensive on my x86.
