I think you are correct that the iphone stream is NOT currently flash.
The point I was trying to convey is that flash CAN be efficient. The trouble is, as others have highlighted, flash tends to be developed by designers and not developers. This tends to make the code produced inefficient and often not implemented in the most appropriate manner.

I think for the iphone version of iPlayer the video is streamed via H264 and not via flash, which is why the video is very smooth and looks great.
I don't care about flash on a portable device, youtube and iplayer both work well on the iPhone. A lot of other flash sites have set sizes for their flash media, usually optimised around laptop / desktop screen size.
I just hope from this version of Flash they finally do something about the performance on Mac's. Visiting flash sites on a mac is stupid, it requires a lot of processing power for such a simple task, which zaps battery life and slows down other processes.
