Sorry to say, you are wrong. Browsers support flash. Flash is a product offered by adobe that browser's embed. Flash is not the internet. True, they are taking away elements key websites use. What that commercial is saying though is that the phone is built to view REAL WEBPAGES, not MOBILE VERSIONS. The addition of Flash is just a browser advantage. So the iPhone has a crappy browser? Maybe. But at least it can view REAL WEBPAGES. Dont believe me? check out http://mobile.macrumors.com ...thats what other phones see.

Is this even official? I thought they had the flash showing on the home page of the new york times during the demo.
This further's my argument that the images we are seeing for the iPhone ad's are composited. That flash on the NY Times page had to get there somehow... it there because the whole page is fake, it was not what was really on the screen. We have never seen a working iPhone show flash content. Of course, the October 2nd date proved this too. Thats beside the point though.
Thats kinda sad. To be considered a phone you need games? I thought phones were for calling.![]()
I guess that thing plugged into the wall next to me isnt a phone. To bad, I was planning on calling grandma on it later.

sorry, have to disagree. my cheap ppc see's the real macrumors site, and also, full featured flash pages, that the iphone wont even load up, because it doesnt support flash. so all mobiles don't show what mobile.macrumors.com is showing. i really cant believe the disappointments apple has given me today. even their stocks reflect it.
If I pay 600 dollars for a phone, I want it to do more then my current samsung 20 dollar phone. This includes games. For 600 dollars, Apple needs to realize that phones don't only call anymore, they now act like a Garmin, have GPS, 2+ MP Camera, have more then 11 pieces of software, picture messaging and more. The only thing new is really the multi-touch.
If I pay 600, I want my Nike+ to work with the device that is "going to replace my nano." I also want my radio to work with it. For 600, it should have video out, if my $250 iPod can do it, it should also. For 600, the iPhone should be damn near perfect, and apparently the device that's been "years in the making" isn't even close...
I was being sarcastic. I expect to play games on it too. You didnt say it like that though... you made it a requiremnt for phones.
I also find it hard to believe that people who have been hyping this great device for 6 months can now say the only functionality that is new is muti-touch. Didnt steve say it has over 200 patents in it? It also has a GUI that has yet to be rivaled; 6 months after it was shown off nobody has even attepted to show a response!
You know why this phone will stand against the competition? The software and hardware are beeing made by the same company. A company that focuses on Operating Software!
Why do I feel like I am the only one standing up for the iPhone anymore? So what... it lost a plug in they never told us it had! I am sure we will see it put back in at some point. Its a friggin plug in! It isnt that difficult to add! Adobe will probably be bugging them to put it in! It is one thing gone... suddenly multi-touch is the only new technology?

Full Internet....but with NO java and NO flash. Awesome. Makes sense.
Sorry, sarcasm isn't easily noticable on the internet.![]()
But seriously, what's worth the 600? No really, tell me, cause I don't know anymore.
Apple could have done SO much with this phone. iWork support, actual apps that are portable, like Garageband or iWeb, bluetooth syncing, previous accessories, more memory, iChat, photo booth, core animation, and much much more. And we're left with 11 apps, icluding "notes" and "SMS"![]()
Grr..
i'll buy it when its READY to be used like a $600 phone and has all the support i feel it should have, and i'm sure others feel like me. just like he said, what am i paying "$600" for again?
