I think it's essentially a control (and revenue) issue -- Steve is determined to control all things Apple, and Adobe software (not only Flash, but also products like Photoshop) has always threatened that control (and revenue) -- Flash is just the biggest threat at the moment. -- Best regards, John If the iPhone is really so impressive, why do iFans keep making excuses for it?

It's vaporware until it's actually released (to everyone) -- <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporware>: Vaporware is a word used to describe products, usually computer hardware or software, not released on the date announced by their developer... The good reason for this is that actual products all too often fail to ship on dates promised, fail to contain all features promised, etc. -- Best regards, John If the iPhone is really so impressive, why do iFans keep making excuses for it?
