    From what has leaked out, Adobe doesn't want Flash on the iPhone for several reason:
    - They don't want free Flash games competing with the millions they make selling similar games in the app store. Same goes for other apps that Apple could sell.
    - Flash is a great platform for video, something Apple also sells.
    - Flash is intensive of the CPU, something Apple didn't think about ahead of time and can't handle without a major hardware upgrade.
    - Flash would require Apple to, at least in this scenario, allow programs to run in the background for the plugin to work or they would have to code it themselves into an edition of mobile safari.

    I'm sure there are other reason and I'm sure they're related to money/profits.

    • yep money/profit: that's the problem with propietary technology like flash
