Flash not on the iPhone / iPad:
Here are my thoughts on that...
Apple just bought Quattro Wireless (mobile advertising). Currently, on the web, Flash Player is what is used to serve rich media ads. Whether it be video, those overlay ads you see, or little mini commercials made at 40k...99% of those ads are delivered in Flash, a piece of SOFTWARE made by Adobe. Software is where all of the money is at. Now if Adobe Flash Player could run on an iPhone or iPad, any company could make a iDevice compatible site and run ads made from Flash to generate revenue. Maybe Apple wants a piece of that. Maybe their making their own proprietary software to deliver ads specifically on their devices. In a few years, just about everyone will have an iPhone or iPad (well, that's what Apple is banking on). That'll open up a new area in advertising and advertising is BIG money. Move on over Adobe. Apple controls what goes on their devices. They want a lil' piece of that Flash action.
