    Flash will eventually show up on the iPhone or any capable device in the near future, it's just a matter of waiting a few more revisions and that the mobile CPUs and battery consumption improves.

    Right now I don't see the benefit of having Flash on the iPhone besides maybe to support only video. Imagine a big ass site that almost crawls on a desktop computer running on a cellphone.

    The resizing of the page is also a big concern, another fact is the iPhone doesn't have a hover action, in fact any hovers you have on javascript or CSS get converted to onclicks on mobile safari.

    We'll get there, but I don't miss Flash at all on the iPhone.
