This article makes some good points about why the iPhone’s mobile Safari (WebKit) implementation will never support Flash.
I had always thought Flash’s omission was just a hardware limitation, issue, etc, but this article really points out that there’s a lot more to that limiting iPhone Flash support. Apple site itself has been devoid of any Flash technology since before the iPhone’s release.
Apple does really only want to support its own proprietary technologies whenever possible for starters, and on top of that it makes total sense that Apple would resent Flash over its own Quicktime and would not want to give Adobe an in on the mobile platforms that Apple itself has really advanced with the iPhone.
