Let me get this straight...your saying that 3G service and picture messaging on the iphone (whatever model your referring too) would have made it half-assed? Are you high?

if steve jobs put flash on the iphone, the browser wouldnt be nearly as good as apple comes off to be. maybe if flash wasnt so laggy/buggy like he said, it would eventually end up on the iphone but because adobe is so lazy, flash will never be as good as it could be. HTML 5 ftw

whats got into this guy ? like it or not, to my knowledge as a regular user, flash is the only thing that can make web pages, etc etc alive... i think there's truth that flash may drain the battery more, but rather than admitting it blatantly, he'd say its an old technology... unless of course apple has developed some kind of app replacing flash... btw, i use a macbook, doesnt safari run adobe flash as well ? i think apple's gotten a bit more cocky over time....

To all ppl who say that the iphone browser is still on top, have you seed the bit iphone vs Nexus one? The nexus one pwned the iphone on everything about browsing! the reason why the us android phones didn't support multi touch is because apple kind of forbid google to use it at least in the us. My milestone is the same as the droid in almost every way and supports multi touch out of the box. What do apple fanboys have to brag about now? the app store or how everyone copy's apple? haha like they invented the phone, multi touch or even pinch to zoom. the iphone didn't bring anything new next to the app store! ;) Happy i didn't get it because flash is BIG on the net and how does flash use 1000% more power then 3D games? GPU and CPU on full power but no flash uses the phones hidden powers or something. Got to love Jobs and his unbelievable story's

dont you think flash in the browser would be a treath for the appstore? All those free flash games online... maybe thats one of the reasons steve is against flash...
