I don't give a darn what Steve Jobs thinks, but the sooner we move away from Flash and on to HTML 5 the better. If the iPod Touch and iPhone's lack of Flash support helps even a little to push that forward, I'm all for it.

The big problem with html5 on mobile safari is that while it might technically support some of those features, there's no JIT. So, great, some of the cool html5 stuff works. But it also runs at an unusable 1 fps.

And do you really think, considering Adobe's lack of care for platforms other than Windows (look at the OS X version of Flash), that Flash on these devices would be any different?

I have a 1st gen Touch and use it all the time. Its great! I have a Pre for a phone and its not even in the same ball park! The Pre sucks rocks.

As for flash! screw it! move on to open technology HTML5... I block most of the flash as it is (on my browser) and can't wait for it to go away!
