yes... but a good one with that... android will soon be the only os with flash, and the change to html5 wil happpen even quicker...

What does that suppose to mean? Android at this very moment is flash AND HTML5 compatible. Why is it bad that Android has more features?

It's not bad that Android has more features. I guess it's just a collective wish that flash dies ASAP!! lol

It is impossible for Nokia to fight it out on all fronts... they can only do so much. Since they cannot totally compete with everyone at once, they are picking specific targets. Apple is apparently a target of choice; however, Nokia has already lost. If I were in charge of Nokia, I would stop making smartphones altogether, and focus on making cheap Series 40 and Series 30 phones for the emerging markets. If we were lucky, we might have a fighting chance to be among the top three OEM's in places like India, China, etc...

One of the risks of the Wp7 strategy is that the N9 will end up with a better browser, and that this is one bit of technology they won't be able to re-use in that platform. Elop has said that the tech we see in the N9 will live on in other devices, mentioning the design, but also the UI and other things. Windows Phone, whatever else, I'm sure will always use an IE based browser (IE9 based in mango, which gets a score of 125 (something like that anyway) on html5test.com. the Webkit 2 browser on the N9 blows that out of the water,

I don't know about you, but I'm getting annoyed and tired of hearing Nokia boast about their MeeGo powered phone that they aren't even going to develop or support further come WP7 transition.

Agreed, specifically since their targeting out the fact that it is a Meego powered phone and they're no longer supporting it. It's just hard work, facts and boasting all going down the drain.

I get it!! it's an apple-wing website... so it will support all kind of moves that apple was done, is doing, and will do... even a move from a former enemy (maybe future though)... the enemy of your enemy is "my friend"

Did you even read the article?
"But the biggest downer is the lack of Adobe Flash support. You'd have to completely rely on HTML5, which might be good in the future when the standard gets widely adopted, but currently a big part of the web is in Flash."

I totally don't get this, after like limitless reviews that I've watched, WP7 always comes out on top with the fastest frame rate - specifically when compared to iPhone RIM and Android...
I really don't think that charts right haha.

looks like meego is a fantastic os, and from the leaked video of nokia's wp7 device (the windows version of n9), that device doesnt seem to bring anything new to wp7 which is kind of disappointing...i think wp7 is as good as ios or android for a regular user, its just that from nokia side with the billion dollar deal, nokia should be able to do more w/ the os than just adding a number of apps ie.map, etc like network-operators do onto the device.... i thought nokia would do a meego on wp7....and hopefully its coming as a surprise....

How about this? Make it compatible with Flash, just not installed? And if the user wants to use Flash they just install it?
I get what Lucas777 is saying. I've been saying if folks want HMTL5 to be the standard, start phasing out Flash. At the same time I like that I have the option, the choice to use Flash.
