I just think upgrading the n900 browser with html 5 tags (e.g. video tags) would be better.

There are sites out there that already have "beta" versions of html 5 video-enabled pages.

I just think Flash is over-rated.
Couldnt agree more - unfortunately its very prevalent throughout the web so in order to be successful a platform must support it.

I really dont understand the need for flash on mobile devices, its not like we can take full advantage of these sites anyway as there made with mouse input in mind.

to be honest all this whining about flash is because people think their missing out on something, if flash wasnt around would we all be listening to users crying wolf at the lack Vimeo support on their mobile devices??

here are the instructions for installing flash 10.1 on your nexus one

Things like 100% cpu utilisation & battery drain, hardware-accellerated gl-based card reduced to showing video, video-advertising eating into your bandwidth.

I completely agree and that's what made me nauseous when I read someone attacking iPhone for not 'having full desktop experience' on its browser because it doesn't have Flash (and then talk crap about proprietary and closed systems).

I find it funny you ask where the instructions are for installing the cutting edge mainstream cycle hogger in one sentence and then say you don't care about mainstream the next. :D

But seriously, we've been down this avenue of discussion before and obviously faster flash would be better. Why there has to be hardware acceleration for it to work faster than cold tar is a mystery to me, but so be it.

It will come when it comes...

i would love for flash to be replaced using something that is an open standard like html5 but the fact of the matter is that about 1/3 of all internet sites use some sort of flash and to expect them all to rewrite their webpages is rediculous. I use my n900 as much if not more than my laptop so it needs to be able to visit every site that my laptop can, so yes it really does need flash 10.1 just so it can handle those heavy flash sites.

I wouldn't mind if flash will be released as beta. It would go in line with maemo on this phone :P
