Ever since Windows Mobile got Flash Player lite I was wondering why iPhone doesn't. I think the answer is Microsoft paid for Flash Player Lite for their Mobile devices, and Steve Jobs isn't about to fork over money. Much like anything else I think they want Adobe to pay Apple for the privilege. Everything we have seen so far conforms with that tactic. True, Apple did pay for Microsoft Exchange support, but that makes sense for Business customers. iPhone doesn't need Flash right now to remain hot espically with the SDK out. Adobe needs the iPhone to extend itself fully into the mobile market.
