Default Will there be a 1.5

A couple weeks ago I saw a tweet saying that there was going to be a webos 1.5 for the "legacy" devices bringing flash. Since then I haven't heard anything more about this update. Is this update coming? Will we get flash even though we are not getting 2.0?

Please do, I am sure this would have blown up had anyone really seen it and shared.

I think what hp should do is make adobe flash available in the app catalog for a download for "legacy" device users as myself...u know, only 1 yr old pre plus.

webosinternals twitter feed, 7 days ago:

Any word from @palm as to what the future of Flash is on "legacy" devices? Will there be a 1.5.0 with Flash support included?

Only a question, nothing more.

It very well may have been a question. I just remember something being mentioned several days ago on twitter and was wondering if this was something actually announced, or just a rumor.

I was hoping flash was something that was still planned.

it doesnt make sense to waste resources on developing 1.5.

I'm hoping that the 'road to 2.0' will be incredibly awesome for legacy users.

A pre 3 at 250, or even 350 would be great! (without a new contract that is.)

1) They would still make money! (cost less than 200 to make)
2) They would get everyone on webos 2.0, bigger community for devs, and the current devices make webos look bad. (too many cards, extreme lag, bad battery life)
3) People would love Hp!
4) They could donate the old phones they receive for a charitable cause, making an even better name for themselves, and pay less taxes.
