As someone whose business primarily consists of Flash-based web sites and development, I was initially disappointed by the initial lack of Flash support and subsequent delays.
Now, I couldn't care less. In fact, I'd probably prefer the iPhone didn't have Flash support. For what we do at least, rendering Flash on the iPhone would be a usability nightmare. It's not hard to detect a visitor using an iPhone and render a much friendlier version.
