Yeah like h.246, Apple's evil take-over-the-world video format. Or AAC, which stands for "Atrocious Apple Compression". And HTML/CSS ... and PDF. All evil Apple formats. Oh wait! Let's not forget PNG! Or SVG! Those bastards!
Oh, and if you can't tell, I'm totally making fun of you. You're loony. The only case you can make for Apple pushing their own format is with iTunes DRM, which is dying at Apple's own hand.
Flash came with my iMac, it's a plug-in just like on Windows. WMV is a hack because Microsoft stopped supporting it on the Mac, and handed it off to Flip4Mac.
Flash isn't on the iPhone because of a couple reasons: first, it's not a standard. No, No, NO. NO. Shutup. It's not a standard. It's just not, it's just popular. HTML and CSS are standards. Flash works against the iPhone's user interface paradigm. Dragging? On-mouse-over events? The only purpose for Flash on the iPhone would be for Flash video. The most popular Flash video site (YouTube) is already on the iPhone, so why bother? A small minority of nerds are demanding it, but normal users don't care.
Actually, in terms of vector graphics and animation, I would say that Flash is definitely a standard.
Basics
Do you happen to know what the basic elements are for those carriers?
Isn't it like ##########@wireless.att.net?
and with the multiple email addresses feature for each contact, it takes just a matter of seconds. It's not inconvenient to ask my contacts: "what carrier do you use?" I've been sending photos like this for months.

I got this like three times.
Finally I turned off my phone, unplugged it from my computer, rebooted my computer, then ran iTunes.
Once iTunes was loaded, I hooked up my iPhone via USB and then tried the upgrade again. This time it worked.
No, but mine did the Horizontal Mambo with another iPhone and now we have a 2GB iPhone Nano!
I'm gonna bet that Apple has software update 2.1 coming to the Apple TV.
How does this relate to 1.1.4? Well, you'll be able to see any content on your Apple TV or DVR on your Touch thanks to this update.
They will sell a $19 IR cable that connects to the Apple TV's USB port.
And, then I woke up.
I just drooled on my monitor. I hate you!
I'm seriously debating on buying an 
tv, this would be the straw on the camels back for me to buy!
I think you mean iPod Nano.
no, i think hes joking and just means it made a baby iphone, aka the iphone nano
Also different carriers/phones have sizing restrictions and some even have format variations if they are older and don't support all the standards. I know that iPhone pictures are way to big to send to my brothers phone, it comes back as an error.
Starbucks can say what they want about the 3 hour training as did the USA Goverment saying shoting down that Sataliete was important due to "toxic substances", anyway, basically, all starbucks on the Apple system are from one system such as a Starbucks itunes or whatever, they need to update this eventually due to the fact if SDK is widely open to download etc people in starbucks will want to aswell, thats my opinion so ye
Remains to be seen what the SDK will give developers access to. I wouldn't mind seeing Flash on the iPhone, but I don't miss it at present.
I tried to allude to the fact that Apple does have some standards they control in my last post about Flash and WM, but perhaps put too fine a point on it. Apple would rather push H.264 and HTML5 instead of Flash, and Quicktime/H.264 instead of Windows media, not to mention IMAP/CalDAV instead of MAPI.
MMS seems like another "left on the cutting room floor" feature and its omission was probably dictated by its US-centric initial target market. MMS is really not that commonly used in the US, at least in my experience, whereas it is much more widespread in other countries.
And yes, SMS was included because it's much more commonly used in the US and ATT didn't want to forego the hefty revenues it gets from that service. On the other hand, the iPhone has no iChat, but that strikes me as being a compromise with ATT to protect their SMS revenue stream, though it also could have been a "cutting room floor" decision.
It will be very interesting to see how much closer to perfection the iPhone gets with the advent of legitimate third party apps. Hopefully Apple and/or ATT won't work to keep applications that could impact their current revenue streams off the iPhone, such as Skype or IM apps. Heck, maybe a third party developer will be the one to implement MMS!
Oh please, let us get into a discussion over the use of "standards" in browsers. And their infinitely diverse interpretations of such.
Wrong...
There are a ton of websites where the entire site is nothing but Flash.
I'm not a nerd, just a guitar player and a "normal user".
Example: The Jackson guitar website is done entirely in Flash... I cannot view any of it on my iPhone. Same applies to the Charvel guitar site.
Some of the online parts stores I go to have their entire catlog done in Flash... again, can't see it on my iPhone.
So while it may not be an "industry standard", there are a ***** load of sites using it.
So step away from the keyboard and put down the Kool-Aid.
Pulled this off the net...not sure if its still 100% accurate or not.

Macs cannot even play most WMVs natively, so why would a Mac handheld device?
Ever notice the HAZMAT sticker?
Actually The US Government satellite shoot-down is related because it retroactively forced Starbucks to close down and remove Hydrazine from its green menthe compound used in several of its drinks.

So, is this the last of the news from today?
Macbook and Macbook Pro updates and an incremental iphone/ipod touch update. Not bad, but if Apple is making this an annoucement day, then they should at least tell us what's going on with the SDK.

Youtube doesnt host copyrighted materials....so youtube just doesnt cut it for me and many other people
and with the multiple email addresses feature for each contact, it takes just a matter of seconds. It's not inconvenient to ask my contacts: "what carrier do you use?" I've been sending photos like this for months.
I have to admit however, with over a 100 contacts in my addressbook, asking each one their carrier, and then having to enter the addresses in 100X is an effen PITA.
MMS would be MUCH better.
