My two cents.
Flash on Apple? No. What difference does it make? It's the difference between legacy applications and new stuff, which is to say if the trend continues that Android will suck up all of the Flash world and Apple rejects it, Apple will be in the better long term position.
I seem to recall that Flash was the stuff of Web 1.0, back when it used to belong to a company called Macromedia and the greatest authoring tool in the world was Dreamweaver and HomeSite. Are you kidding me? And back when Adobe purchased Macromedia, what I recall was that the whole edifice was crumbling under its own weight. Adobe was the ship almost too late to save a drowning witch. Considering the number of other video standards that are out there, the big deal with Flash just doesn't seem to be a big deal to me. The best developers will easily adapt to new tools.
Just because you can name a product Cold Fusion doesn't mean you can defy the laws of thermodynamics.
I have an Droid and I can not run Flash.... it's not available for Andriod! So... wha'choo talkin' 'bout Willis?

Just the controversy I see in the places I look when people talk about Flash not being available on the iPhone / iPad. I think it's a non issue, like the iPhone not being able to multitask. Those are features being sought for their own sake without regard to value.
