...which I suppose is not gonna happen since the N900's product cycle has already ended or something like that, right? Uhm... wanted to add something, but I'm quite speechless...
No one can. Adobe did it and will not release it unless Nokia pays them big bucks. So Adobe did a bunch of work porting Flash 10.1 to Maemo and is sitting on it. And they won't give it to us because they don't see us as the customer, but Nokia.
This is why Flash is bad. Not because Steve says so (he just wants it his way) but because when Adobe decides you aren't worth the effort, you get locked out of chunks of the web. It should absolutely NOT be like this.
WHAT???
Adobe did their part. I blame 100% Nokia on this.
I'm sure Adobe has Flash 10.1 working for the iPhone, Steve Jobs is the one that doesn't want it.
I suppose. My take on the problem is with the dependence on Flash in the first place, and how they insist on treating devices like the N900 as somehow being special.

I kinda applaud for his decision, it's like spanking Adobe for sleeping on the wheel all these years; but it seems that they're still sleeping as usual ever since. May be Steve spanked them too hard.

Steve Jobs decision not to want Flash on their devices is all about control and $. Nothing more.
Again, we don't have Flash 10.1 on our N900's because of Nokia, not Adobe.
Flash 10.1 was shown working on the N900 almost a year ago!
