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

So, basically, people are afraid that they have no 10.1 all sites that use it will be unviewable? Heaven forbid kittens no longer stream directly to your phone from youtube? So, basically, if Youtube doesn't have a fallback Flash 9.0 or HTML 5 site poor kitties will go unwatched in the car?

Is that it?

Really?

You know what, you all deserve better. Not another kittyless day. You should buy another device. Down with Nokia.

Complaining over and over about not having what no one else has either has is an Epic Logic Fail

I think I'll go to the CentOS forum and start raisin' hell because I don't have CentOS 6.0 yet. I just got the upgrade from 5.4 to 5.5 - for free - but I know 6.0 is in the works! And the suckas haven't even said when they'll release it! How could they treat me so bad!

Gotta go. I just realized I gotta lotta *****in' to do! If I scream in ALL CAPS maybe someone will care!

Nokia could have been among the first to have it... and failed to deliver.

So, instead of using a more stable, universal flash version, you moved to the bleeding edge and then complain?

Don't want to poke at you, really, but as a developer, I NEVER, EVER use the latest release of a development tool or platform other than beta testing. To me, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" isn't a good idea, it's a requirement for keeping my job. I still have Delphi 5 installed (10th August 1999) and FoxPro 2.5 for DOS(Jan. 1993), just in case my shiny Delphi Architect 2010 has some showstopper bug. I also have a few in-between versions, like Foxpro, for example, 2.5, 2.6, 5, 6, 8 and 9. And I fall back as needed to keep things working.

Again I wonder exactly what magical dust 10.1 has inside that makes it a requirement. What possible support has been added that makes everyone push to the bleeding edge?

I know that the comparison isn't exactly 100% correct, because you run in the client's Flash, not directly on the platform, but isn't that an even better reason to hold back?

Who upgrades a site from a 90% user base to a 5% user base?

Maybe I'm just getting old fashioned. Man, 30 hits hard.

Adobe is handling the release of 10.1 on Android themselves via the Android Market. No middle-man manufacturer to take months to release updates. It would be a big mistake in judgment for Adobe to allow any manufacturer to deliver updates on their own timetable when there might be security or performance updates that need to be addressed ASAP.

It's not rocket science to make Flash Player optimized for the 5-6 smartphone OSes out there, all with similar hardware. The only demos of 10.1 before the Android beta came out were by Adobe employees. With that said, I think when 10.1 comes out, it will be in the OVI store.

Who's more at fault here-- Nokia or Adobe?

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

It's our fault... we don't buy enough N900s to make it an attractive platform for either of them :D

Anyone else with me?

No. I don't jump ship that easily.
