The flash games in the ceibal tests are still unplayable, but their
performance is greatly improved, just go back to the Flash 9 plugin
and you will see it. Youtube videos become viewable with Flash 10
although it doesn't play totally smoothly.

In my opinion, Flash 10 improves significantly the flash experience on
the XO and it would be worth studying if it should be recommended
instead of Flash 9.

As I said above, I actually did compared both versions.

I don't think we should expect games like "Hulk Central Smashdown" to
become playable at any time soon.
