Flash for iPhone may exist, but it’s not there yet

This, and java, is one of the few ‘issues’ I have with the iphone. It’s not a show-stopper, and doesn’t detract from the overall useability of the phone, but it is probably the most obvious piece of functionality that’s lacking from the, otherwise superb, browser.
It’s not that Flash doesn’t work on the iPhone. Far from it, Adobe already have flash there for the iPhone, but it’s a political and commercial game that’s stopping it from reaching the handsets. A combination of licencing issues, and the fact that iTunes is the only legitimate delivery method.
Come on Apple.. when are you going to let flash and java onto the iPhone?
