If anyone is still wondering why Flash 10.1 isn't already available, and don't want to be bothered to read the rest of this thread, listen up:
Someone has to pay for it. A big license fee to Adobe. Any time you want to have Flash on anything that even smells like a mobile device, Adobe will be cashing in.
My guess is that Adobe is trying to double dip. Nokia paid for a license for v9 on the N900, but Adobe demanded another license for v10.1. The lovely nature of the commercial software business.
Whether Adobe will have a free license for MeeGo ARM Handset (from meego.com) is an important consideration.
So what you are saying is that Nokia was so stupid when they made the deal with Adobe to not think about an upgrade at all, even though Flash 10 was "all the rage" much before the N900 shipped, and the Flash support was one of the main selling points of the N900. And now when they are faced with their stupidity they decide they don't want to spend the very little money it takes to fix their mistake, and N900 users can go to hell, as far as they are concerned?

Yes, that sounds exactly like Nokia.
Speculating they won't fork out the money for 10.1 in MeeGo as well?
I don't know about the per platform license rules but it would seem even more odd that Meego wouldn't come with 10.1 and that Maemo would not benefit form the same license
Once Meego handsets are about to be publicly released they will have to pay the license and we may see the upgrade for Maemo 5 at the same time.
I don't think that the total cost of the license fits under the category "very little money"...
Are you joking? Nokia plan to sell millions of devices (step 5) which will surely have Flash 10.1. Adding the 273 (or whatever number) N900s sold won't change anything in the significant digits of such a deal.
Adobe the company never sent me the file to my email, and I see people who have it, does not share the adobe file and may never know who uploaded the file if you do so anonymously in an open wifi network with a mobile by megaupload for commenting on an example.
if the file was made for an IMEI number, I would understand, but it is not, the file is open
people do not share, and I am registered with different data and emails from different ips and nothing

There should be no uploading of that file. Get it via the proper means. Asking for a megaupload link == bad.
And people uploading at this site might get banned. Unfortunate truth is that requesting and/or uploading this is against the license and it's against TMO's rules.

hear hear ! - uploading will ruin this method for everyone if TI pull it.
someone has something and can't share it, so everybody hates him/her
