When I first bought my iPhone, I was disappointed to find out the device didn't come flash enabled. However, as time passed, the web sites with Flash elements that I couldn't view have tackled that issue successfully by opting for alternative solutions. There has been much talk online since the early days of whether or not Flash will be integrated into the iPhone, as well as much speculation that Apple was snubbing them. Regardeless it's still not available and to be honest it really hasn't effected my experience at all.
Wired has a good post on their blog today, and I think I have to agree with their take on Flash. I won't get into all the technically reasons why I've turned my back on Flash for the iPhone. Flash can provide an exciting user experience but trying to navigate a complex flash interface through this device may prove to be a bumpy ride. My thoughts are that it would be an unnecessary addition at this stage...that and most Flash sites these days are just build a bunch of heavy sites that are advertising based.
