maemo.org - Talk - Leaving Nokia for life if no Flash 10.1 for N900

I agree with the idea, but not with the implementation people are using. Not many Nokia employees are monitoring this forum. If you really want to get this done, log it as a bug in the tracker and get massive numbers of people to vote for it. That will get the attention of their engineering staff at least, if nothing else. And if that staff can go to their management and say "this feature request has more votes than any other bug fix or request in our system", I'd bet the winds would shift a bit.

Complaining here ad nauseum won't get it noticed at all, agreed.

But despite bug logs, brainstorms (which I've asked if even that was getting looked at by Nokia, no answer yet) I doubt there is a proper way to get that concern viewed by Nokia.

But I know how to contact Adobe and they're rather active in their own community.

I'm serious.

I'll have a post up by tomorrow.

Would someone please explain to me what exactly magical fairy dust is up with 10.1 that people (so to speak) are ready to abandon a platform and a device for? I was also ready, at some point, to abandon N900, but my phone didn't work right for months while bugs were fixed already.

I couldn't find anything around the web that gave a 10.1 owner magical powers.

I'm serious here. I'd like to know. Does it have wings? Does it teleport people? Does it make gold dust come out of the USB port? What?

Because Adobe managed to sucker lots of people into using their proprietary crap all over the place, and now people consider it essential.

The we should have a moderated section where developers answer questions, like, one a week. Or a day or whatever they feel comfortable with.

We'll brainstorm and noise over the wall and the best voted/most interesting question gets through and a good answer is received. This will either be pinned, moved to a FAQ post in the said section or added to a protected wiki page.

I see little reason to allow Joe Average flood devels, including me. Every week, several questions get added to a poll and everyone interested votes, one vote per person, one question only. This way, if a question wins, then it burns several people.

Would this get the said developers involved (again)? I'd kill for a straight answer.

Re: Leaving Nokia for life if no Flash 10.1 for N900

flash was one of the main aspects for me, to buy an n900.

The problem is, that lots of the sites now only run under a more actual version of flash, so i am stopped to use this sites.

We have a video application allready running on flash 10.1, which we wanted to use on the n900. Because The n900 was also the first mobile with vga out.

Why the **** don't do they give out the beta from october to developers?

(if flash would be open source, we would have it running on n900 longtime ago...)
