IPhone + Flash

I feel pretty confident that we'll see some changes for the iPhone and Flash! I want to be able to see those late breaking local news bulletins with Flash on my iPhone v. the little blue box with the stinkin' Question Mark!!! (My next AVATAR is it doesn't show up!) 
Since Adobe made the ill-advised "sure, we can do it" boast as soon as the SDK was announced, there have been no other publicized developments. The SDK/App Store terms specifically forbid development of something like a Flash player (or any other interpreted/compiled language/code) so Flash won't arrive to the iPhone in that way.
I'd describe Apple's interest in getting Flash on iPhone as indistinguishable from zero. Sorry, but I'd basically not hold my breath at all.
Have fun on the desktop!

think the iPhone will get flash. I mean look at it already - so many things packed in to that tiny shell already! how could better software be un-apple-like? new 3G iPhone should have a better battery, so it probably wouldn't be that big of a deal anyway
In light of today's flash based virus outbreak- I'm glad my phone does not support it.

Doubt it.
This is from before the SDK came out, but it still seems just as true today as it did then:

Basically, adding Flash to the iPhone is a risk for Apple with very little reward. Put those 2 things together and you end up with a situation that Apple isn't gonna go for anytime soon.
