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:

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.
