No maemo 5 support?!

+1, is the n900 supported?

woooow it’s amazin
what’s about blackberry mobile :’(

No maemo support???

If Adobe invested the same amount of money and time into actually advancing Flash that they put into criticizing Apple’s decisions maybe it would actually be a good platform. They are trying to get into onto other platforms when it doesn’t even support 64-bit yet. All major operating systems have 64-bit support and most web browsers have already and are already transitioned over. Flash is also well known for performing great on Windows and not Linux based distributions or Mac OS X. They really should invest in what they have instead of making a fret about what others are doing and trying to engage in new markets when their offerings are not too well off, but it will all come down to the consumer really. Most will not understand the bickering between the two. All they will understand is if their browser crashes or if it doesn’t as a result of Flash. How Flash plays out on the mobile phone will be an interesting sight once some benchmarks from respectable companies emerge.

I’m *VERY* upset about the Nokia N900 / Maemo 5 being abandoned. I got the phone because it had the most complete browsing experience of all phones available! Now, I feel like I’m in a worse position than Apple folks, because at least sites make exceptions for Apple products, or there are apps to get around the lack of flash limitation.

Adobe I Love You. 10 is so smooth. It even works good on the iPhone with the CloudBrowse app.

Big Ups to you.

Always remember that if it wasn’t for Adobe, Macromedia, and Digidesign….

Apple wouldn’t be shit. I pre-ordered a iPhone 4, but gonna return it and pick up a HTC because of the quality of 10.

Thank You and Bless!

Yeah Baby!!! Can’t wait to get this on my iPhone!

oh wait …

Hi – The Nokia 900 currently supports Flash Player 9. Support for Flash Player 10.1 by Nokia on the N900 — as well other device makers with regards to their phones — is up to the manufacturers.

I want my n900 has a 10.1 update

i’ve had my palm prē over two mnths now and I can’t believe I spent 400 dollars for this cell. I can’t watch any videos without that dumb lego block popping up telling me I need an Adobe. Can you please tell me when it should be available on prē so I don’t have to waste my time trying to get it everyday. I’d appreciate.

Hello,
Yes this is a great technology, adobe has done it again. They have also increased the performance of the flash player, see here http://forums.techarena.in/technology-internet/1352228.htm

ERIC, sorry to break it to you, but adobe, and palm are keeping this TOP secret, but a lil birdy told me we COULD expect to see it when froyo(android 2.2) is release, but until that day, we wont know

Man I just bought n900 this week and this is the sadest news of the month to me. Please someone push Nokia/Adobe into making 10.1 for n900.

plz i just bought a nokia n900 and i still dont know how to use it well plz someone push Nokia/Adobe into making 10.1 for n900

Adobe, please support Maemo on 10.1……It’s such an amazing growing open-source community.

Or at least please allow some exceptions to enable the older version to view flash on N900.

Very much appreciate if any effort could be done on the above. TQVM

Oh yeah, definitely no good without supporting Nokia devices and Flash 9 is already obsolete so that’s out.

Sure there are emerging manufacturers who are good for it, but they have nowhere NEAR the global customer base that Nokia has.

That was a poor decision.

Still waiting on N900 version could be release….

The Nokia N900 has the same hardware specs as the supported Android platform (Cortex A8), why not release Flash 10.1 on Maemo?

My N900 is an excellent product but is now also still waiting for a Flash 10.1 update ! It is really sad that Adobe and Nokia are not able to release this important and really needed update for Nokia’s so-called “Flagship” Smartphone in time. @Nokia-Marketing: This poor behaviour will for sure not help selling the N900′s !

Please provide Flash 10.1 support for the Nokia N900. I bought mine less than one week ago and I’m very happy with the web browsing experience so far — except for this issue.

The alpha release of the new version of the Firefox mobile browser (Fennec) came out just 2 days ago and it runs on two platforms: Maemo 5 and Android 2.0 (and above). Please do not abandon half of the users on the leading edge of mobile browsing.

Thank you.

No Flash updates on Nokia N900 is the biggest fail ever.

Maemo needs Flash Player 10.1, please give us an update.

I was gonna get a N900, not anymore!

Not avilable N900 flash player and it is not good

In the United States the laws were changed by Congress in July to allow device owners to add any software they choose without having to go through the device manufacturer for that software and without the risk of manufacturers voiding warrantees as a result (was aimed at Apple). Adobe now has no excuse if they don’t create Flash 10.1 for N900 owners in the USA! I’m sure your network has a bridge so you can limit the download to devices in the USA if you choose, Adobe…

Please make it happen, I beg you! Gimme back my dark force!

N900 is great ..but i am sad that Flash 10.1 is not supporting..(

Come on adobe, you used the Nokia N900 to showcase flash 10 mobile some time ago, yet still we are stuck on version 9.4.

How can you let down owners now by dropping devlopment for this platform, when adobe itself already have a working version?

And why oh why is adobe focusing on flash 10.1 for new devices and platforms still in development, all those with a device already will not benefit and neither will those who build flash 10.1 sites.
Should sites be done in older versions of flash to maximise compatability for older devices and platforms, developers the choice is yours, lots of flash 10.1 glitz, or more traffic, as i am in a sales buiness mobile platfroms are becoming more important, we value traffic and compatability over glitz.
As a Iphone and N900 user, flash is a burden when visiting a flash enabled site on both these devices.

Is any way to get the N900 flash player demo shown at MAX ?

hey where is Nokia N900 flash 10.1 supporting

Hey Adobe. When do you plan in delivering Flash 10.1 for Nokia N900? You’ve developed for other platforms already. Alot of N900 users are already waiting and wanting this update. Is it not time you deliver?

Please Adobe, add Maemo support for Flash on the Nokia N900.

Adobe,

When are you releasing 10.1 for Nokia N 900?

Your CTO had demonstarted the same on N 900 some time ago.

Plsss do the same fast…

n900 is an advanced internet tablet… how is possible that Adobe don’t support it? and Nokia why don’t support this good device?

im another dissapointed N900 fan, i can’t believe Adobe has singled out a leader in the new web browsing smart phone technology (Maemo/Nokia)…
You must support this device! it’s great without flash 10.1, but make it outstanding with it!

we need flash 10.1 for nokia n900 !!!

ditto to all the pleas for flash 10.1 support on the n900

I would like that Adobe supports Flash 10.1 for the ‘bada’ system of Samsung mobiles.

Thanks

As a lot of others already posted, please give us Flash 10.1 for the N900!

Plz i got the n900 just this week and love the phone just one thing missing flas player 10, please Adobe give the n900 users Flash Player 10 we need it badly

… We N900 users are all still waiting…. please, thank you!

Have N900 want FP 10.1.

Devastated that one of the main reasons for buying the N900 is now turning in to the one reason why I shouldn’t have bought one.

I also got my n900 last week, one of my reason to have this phone is bcoz they have flash support like playing farmville in facebook,, and now bcoz of the new version of adobe flash player, I can’t experience to play or to upload and watch anything in facebook..pls…do anyhing about this…pls!

We n900 users want adobe Flash 10.1 please, help us!

another n900 user waiting here!

tanks. But i still do’t download adobe flash player for nokia n85 me.

To adobe support,

As you can see in your flash player 10.1 pressentation, the person there show the n900 with flash10.1 and he even said it would release the flash 10.1 on nokia n900 by 2010. But how come untill now you havent done anything for the nokia n900.

Could you please release the updated flash player for the n900 as every owner of n900 expected. Now i have a shortcut of that particular video where that person said it will have a updated flash for n900 and it shows ther as well that he is already using the flash 10.1 on NOKIA N900.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pee3nT4bPw4

Thank you so much in advance.

Please Adobe, add Maemo support for Flash 10.1 on the Nokia N900.

i want in for the n900 too!

please adobe

what a nice bunch of people

got my n900 in may, most promising smart phone on the market, but no flash player 10.1 available yet. This is a huge let down. There’s alot of n900 users waiting for this, please make it available soon.

pls adobe release fp 10.1 for N900..

i own a n900 and i can’t see a lot of sites… we need Flash 10.1, in beta version too.

i just want to try at my sumsung mobile

Adobe, PLEASE!
The huge N900 comunity needs 10.1 !!!

Flash 10.1 for N900 +1

Yet another N900 owner who wishes Flash 10.1 would be released for Maemo 5!

Please can n900/maemo users have access to latest alpha/beta/GA releases of flash 10.1 or later???

We know and understand that your team wants to produce something totally perfect, but what other open community out there would be able to provide more feedback to help improve Flash then our technical community does?

The n900, is a very power device as most of us familiar with it know, I don’t think any other devices at this present time can beat the n900, Adobe should try to take full advantage of this powerfull device to demonstrate the power of flash in mobile devices.

As a technical person myself, if I understand correctly all we the end users would need to run the update flash would be appropriate the arm file/binary: libflashplayer.so

I’m also curious would any other arm flash releases currently out there work on the n900/maemo out of the box?

I don’t know about other n900 users but this waiting is making physically ill

Thank you in advance

OMFG!

N900-users are quite the nagging bunch.

Why buy the phone, and find out afterwards the phone doesnt do what you want it to do?
Until a few months ago there was NO flash support for any mobile, so this 10.1 is a good step in the right direction.

STOP WINING !!!

I am for N900 and very disappointed over the inability of Adobe to fix flash upgrade for Nokia N900. i stuck my money on this device and now stuck again with a single company Monopoly to enjoy the freedom of Open Source. This is like Hell and Capitalism brought this on us ALL. So now the waiting game continue.i hope something is done fast …..

While it has been stated repeatedly that it is up to the device manufacturer and/or carrier to supply updates for software, I am inclined to argue that if Adobe wishes to see Flash everywhere, not a merely a profit making tool but as something that legitimately improves the quality of the web, it needs to start expanding the range of free-to-download flash plugins available.

The N900, which the majority of the above comments are about, is a device which is rather well known for basically running a Debian Linux distribution with a modified UI and desktop environment. At its core it is still the same pure Linux that any other desktop device is. Just because it is compiled for ARM architecture, instead of the x86 one, does not mean that Adobe would at all lose if it provided this update as a free download. It is one thing to charge manufacturers to licence the Flash Player for devices running operating systems like Android, because Android uses a unique, rather modified Linux that does not work nearly the same way. Yet there are plenty of non-embedded devices that use ARM processors, on which end users chose to run Linux distributions. (Netbooks have been around that use ARM processors for a while, not to mention other devices.)

There is no reason why those devices cannot benefit from a free-to-download Flash binary – and there’s no reason why the N900 should be kept from receiving future flash upgrades, when it can simply use whatever Debian-on-ARM flash player is available already. It does not require any effort beyond running the same flash player code for Debian/Ubuntu Linux through a compiler for the ARM achitecture processors. At least, unless clinging to acquiring licensing fees from the device manufacturers is that great of a reason, which it doesn’t have to be, and shouldn’t be given that it won’t be long before computers start to be replaced with “embedded devices”, which themselves are already approaching computer-esque functionality. At which point, there will come a time when other alternatives arise that are free, and Flash will have a much greater opportunity of maintaining a dominant position in making the web experience if they aren’t still expecting manufacturers to pay licensing fees. A free to download for every user flash player is perfectly reasonable, at least for operating systems that make that perfectly feasible.

Another disgruntled N900 user here !

Come on Adobe, pull your finger out

We have reached almost the end of 2010. Adobe CTO, in that video that almost everyone here must have seen, says that flash 10.1 for 900 **which he ALREADY had running on n900 ** will be released in 2010.
Does not make any sense to me.
Does anyone know if we n900 users can use any of the Linux versions of flash available on the Adobe website?

adobe flash player support for nokia E-5.

pls , adobe give us the wonder that you do

give us Flsh 10.1 !!!

Adobe, Plaese
add Maemo support for Flash 10.1 on the Nokia N900.

Flash 10 for N900 +1

I think that the launch of flash player for Maemo N900 will be an adobe win, HTML5 is on the way and alternatives will come out, do not tell us ask Nokia due Nokia has no influence on that,

I must remind that Nokia was the among first companies to try to add flash to the mobile platforms.

N900 its linux on ARM, which actually has better performance and hw power than many other mobile platforms. Use it!!

Br N900 Owner

please update flash for the N900 as we can no longer access many sites due to needing an update

Flash 10 for N900
