So it seems it's not only Apple who's having problems with Flash Player, also the guys from Mozilla Firefox for Maemo (Nokia new fancy top of the line phones):
"We’ve decided to disable plugin (not to be confused with add-ons, which are supported) support for this release. The Adobe Flash plugin used on many sites degraded the performance of the browser to the point where it didn’t meet our standards."

Adobe's CTO published a blog post on the future of Flash. I think they recognize that they are at a turning point and the next version of Creative Suite will be critical.

so what's the real deal here?
Is the software (flash player) too inefficient a plugin for mobile devices that have minimal memory / processor speed?... I can understand if that's the issue - I still see sites that run like shit on my Intel processor mac...
... what has to be done to the player / application to make it a balanced/efficient platform for mobile devices?
One last Q (off point too)... most of the apps for mobile devices - are they all written in something resembling OOP?

- they are going to release Flash 10.1 mobile soon and it's supposedly betterernexbcn
- Mobile apps are Objective-C in the iPhones case, then .net/C++/Java on othersBIGGESTDOGINTHEWORLD
