Please do not use that TI link, they have stated it is for OEM hardware developers only. We (Community Council) have applied to get legal distribution (or at least clickthrough) way of getting that plugin, so if we get it, you'll see a notice about it soon enough.

Thank you. I've been wondering if the entire thing has gotten forgotten on the Community Council or TI end (since unlike some people posting I still remember that you said the community council is trying to apply for a way for us to get it just a few pages ago).

Is there any chance of getting more updates, though? Or is absolutely nothing happening? I mean, did you just formally send a request, upon which you haven't heard anything (aside from perhaps a typical formal "We shall examine your query and reply accordingly when we have done so [after processing it through our legal team and some subcommittees]"), or are there active talks ongoing, and is there any chance of getting updates on the progress of those talks?

attila77 | # 1473 | 2010-10-24, 21:27 | Report

Talks ongoing - we stated our request, they stated their concerns and legal limits, and now we're trying to reach a compromise on these, meaning interested parties could get the stuff without breaching license requirements - either on our side or TI's. It's certainly not just boilerplate that we have gotten from them, but apparently it's not like they can just give it away with a draw of a pen (and they aren't really set up for partnering with end-users or communities), hence the difficulties. Whatever the outcome, as soon as we have a definite resolution, there will be a Council blog post regarding that.

In case we never see adobe flash 10 on n900 , why not port gnash 0.8.8 with gpu acceleration ? it does partially support flash 10 features , and gpu acceleration would be quite nice .

Mentalist Traceur | # 1475 | 2010-10-24, 21:40 | Report

This has already come up. Gnash supports "some" features of the Flash 10 (maybe - I never heard that until now, but I'm sure it's possible), and as far as I know not even all Flash 9 features.

Gnash is wonderful in principle, and if I could code better myself I would be contributing to the Gnash project myself, but it's really not anywhere near as usable yet. At this stage, official Flash 9.14 or 9.4 or whatever we have on the N900s is better than Gnash, based on what I was able to see from the Gnash project page last time I looked.

- Edit -

Oh, and: thanks for the update Atilla77. I never actually voted during the last community council election, but I retroactively offer you my vote

thats the whole issue, TI cannot just hand the plugin over for DISTRIBUTION. I thank council for trying atleast something Nokia can resolve in a matter of minutes. Its kind of ironic if you think about it. Council trying to get something for NOKIA device owners which NOKIA already has for sometime mind you, just don't want to share it lol. Oh, maybe Nokia will sell it on Ovi store hahaha

attila77 | # 1477 | 2010-10-25, 08:33 | Report

If you have information about Nokia having a functional Flash 10.1 ready, pray tell (AFAIK even the Flash plugin for MeeGo is done by a 3rd party company). And no, a publicity stunt of an attention-hungry company from a year ago does not count.
