Oh good. Flash is the best piece of software ever invented. We've been left out of the loop for years! But now we will finally be up to date. Now we can watch video content on almost any website. Apple claims they didn't include Flash because it was bad, but we all know it's because they are too proud to accept flash's superiority in the video market. Long live flash, long live Adobe!
Imagine flash all over our iPhone 4 with a small browser!!! And it will suck battery out of our iPhone, I only want flash to watch cbs.com, trutv.com, nbc.com and xfinity, but those annoying ads grrrrrr

Adobe Flash sucks. This will be like 5 years ago. Remember when we had to insert a code inside flash so that you won't get that stupid box covering the animation?!?
I bet you it will come to the same thing. Theyre only doing this for money.
FLASH is one of the biggest mistakes on the internet
Thank god Steve Jobs has vision and blocked it from our iOS devices
If you are thinking "oh this guy is wrong" just go look at the ads today. 99% are on flash.
Flash - powering annoying ads since 1995
I'm an idiot so I don't understand. Does this mean that soon my iphone will soon not be showing me a cube with a question mark inside when what I want to watch is porn? (or some other less useful video content?)
