Boy, this thread is sure full of a lot of hope and not a lot of much else. Step back a bit.. are there any indications that Flash 10 will come to the N900? ...Or is everyone here just to say that they would be happy if it arrived on the N900?
Adobe announced it. Hell, it's been demoed. There's a youtube video. Look it up.
So then, my question then becomes, first, "why isn't it released then?" Is it still being tested or something? Did they promise it would come out or will it never see the light of day?
My next question is then, "why is everyone bellyaching over it so much?" If it's been pretty much promised and it's being tweaked or tested, then why grumble? The N900 only JUST came out, give it time.
I guess I'm just a little confused by all the fuss.
I'd love to see this update, but I don't think it will be released on the N900. It's too much of a selling point for future devices. Luckily we should have a few years before Flash 10+ is required on the majority of sites.

You forget that the N900 is a very hacker-friendly device... If Nokia doesn't release it officially (which I think they will anyhow), someone else will make an unofficial patch.
I was up at Adobe for a partner summit last week and got to speak to the Flash on devices guys.
Naturally I asked where I could obtain the 10.1 beta for testing, since there was discussion about availability for testing on other handhelds, and the response was that yes it does exist and will be coming to the N900, but it is up to Nokia to release it as part of a future firmware update.
