The fact that the MeeGo 1.2 distribution would likely not include Flash 10.1 is secondary to the question of whether or not Flash would get supported on MeeGo 1.2 I think is what is being asked. I think 1.2 is important because iirc 1.2 is the more functional consumer build vs 1.0 / 1.1 which are developer builds.
Pardon my English, I interpreted get Flash as in, actually acquiring the binary. Support itself is pretty pointless question, as Maemo is a full-blown Linux, in that sense Maemo5 and MeeGo 1.0 already 'supported Flash 10.1' from day 1. It's just that nobody released that Flash 10.1 on ARM architecture due to licensing reasons (are we running in circles or what ? ).

Or something along those lines, apologies if my memory fails me... Does anyone know what became of that?
There was some initial enthusiasm, but the thing has pretty much stalled.
