Flash is in no way the internet. Browsing the web without flash is actually a pretty cool experience. The only thing missing is some video, which should be fixed with the new <video> tag.

(I don't know if the iPhone supports this yet, but I'm guessing it will).

If Apple has to stay true to the claims they made in the ads, they must allow ALL plugins. No exceptions. Unless the iphone renders a page the way the the page creator intended it to be rendered, its a watered down version of the page.

Which codecs? That's a key question.

H.264 seems to be the way ahead for now.
