After the news about the 3.0 update, I think I've figured out the real story on Flash iPhone Support. Apple left out features for 1st-gen iPhone users in the 3.0 update, including MMS. They said it was a hardware issue but this is bullshit since hacked 1st-gen iPhone users have had MMS already. So it's not a hardware issue, it's an upgrade/profit issue.
My prediction is that we won't get Flash on the iPhone until there is another major hardware update. Those with 1st-gen, 3g or iPod Touch will simply be left out like 1st-gen users were for MMS and Stereo Bluetooth. Apple is working on a new chip that is supposed to bring advanced graphics including those necessary for 3D gaming and high definition video on the iPhone. Adobe has claimed they're working on a version of Flash for the iPhone already. My guess would be that Apple won't allow Adobe to release Flash until a hardware update. They'll parade Adobe up on stage talking about how advanced Flash is on the iPhone and nobody else has a full version of Flash. Then they'll parade Hulu and other flash heavy popular content providers. Then they'll tell you it's only available on the new iPhone ("because of hardware issues") when they simply did it for profit reasons.
We'll see if I'm right.
I'm starting to mistrust Apple more and more everyday.

I wish they wouldn't release Flash on iPhone. They should support FLVs but not swf.

you can get some flash videos to work, but not entire sites.

The iphone is a failure. You can't even record video and people in the states flock to have it....It is really sad especially when I see parents buying there 15yr old an iphone because they want it.
Apple had to pull the iphone from japan because it was not creating sales.
