In the beginning it had what was promised. Things got out of control when the finger pointing started (dudes from company X saying Y should/would deliver something and vice versa).
Did Nokia not sell enough N900s for Adobe to warrant it worth dishing out the 10.1 code? Please don't tell me Nokia actually have it but don't want to give it out because there can't possibly be such a thing now as PR 1.4?!

The red line: Stop talking about it. This just means 'not for public use' and was a feature of the TI release.
Yes, it's slow, that because unlike the official v9 plugin it's not hardware accelerated, so will soak up CPU and battery. Stop asking.
Yes, the N900 was demoed running v10, by Adobe, but no, there are not enough N900 - Adobe would rather spend their limited time on Android and cross-compiling for iPad/iPhone. Can't blame 'em- look at the sales figures.
*That said*, I do ask Adobe now and again, and they always say something to the effect of 'it's on the list, but not a priority'. I take that to mean Nokia didn't sell enough, and as Nokia have dropped Maemo like a hot potato, I don't expect much progress. You'd need to really get into the guts of the source of Flash Player to make it do all the things v10 does on mobile (not just hardware acceleration, but lowering frame rate when idle etc). Not something Adobe are going to let the community do. Sorry.
I would kick Nokia and Adobe in .the face if I had the chance. Not once, not twice. A billion times until they would be bleeding on their knees begging for mercy. It's the only thing they deserve, along with any other gaint company promising things which they know they can't deliver and making idiots out of people who buy their expensive products. If you can't deliver something, fine. But at least say it in the beginning and don't drag the living hell out of people while having a good arogant laugh. Money outweighing problems on the triple beam.
Ironically such failures are all done to keep share holders happy, afterall these multi-nationals already got our money, the quicker the device gets outdated the quicker you buy another.
Personally, I could give you all a list of crooks that i no longer do business with, following personal bad experiences, even if they may appear to be better value for money.
In this case, we can either put up with such critical product limitations or eventually go with a more productive brand next time but with another whole range of new issues. To give you an example, computer hardware parts, I personally have found chinese or in some cases unbranded products out there to offer support for latest technologies, at a fraction of the price of outdated named brands, in other words big brands take our money, but are not any better. of course not all products are same
