Lack of flash support is the only thing stopping me buying an iphone.
I don't even care if it's flash in safari or flash in an external flash player - even a flashlite3 player (like on the N95) would do me fine as long as it had a decent amount of ram available (like the N95-2).
Yes - lack of Flash is the only thing stopping me, too. It really isn't the 'real' internet without it, whatever the haters say. Sure there is a lot of dross written in Flash but there's a lot of dross written in javascript, too (and C, C++, C# etc) - but nothing in javascript that rivals the joys of the better Flash casual games or the better Flash interfaces, for instance.
Plus I would say the natural tendancy of Flash to produce more dynamic content and interfaces is a natural for the iPhone/touch. I would even go as far as to say the design of the iPhone/Touch interface owes more than a little to the ideas of some of the pioneering Flash designers.
Anyway, I really hope that it's not politics that's holding Flash up.

Who says they'll be charging this time round?
