What I read was Adobe made a Flash player lite for the iPhone and Steve decided it wasn't up to scratch, and they're back to the drawing board to create something between a proper Flash player and the lite version.
There you go
Apple CEO Steve Jobs went on record to warn that the iPhone needs a Flash Player that works like it does on a computer, warning that the Flash Lite Player that Adobe Systems Inc. develops for mobile phones isn't sufficiently advanced for an iPhone.
"Proper" Flash "performs too slow to be useful" on the iPhone, Jobs warned. "There's this missing product in the middle. It just doesn't exist."

I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.
A possibility but I don't think it's a real threat to the app store considering the kinda limitations given the processing power and Flash. For anything fancy (and that includes a nice UI, smooth animation, etc), you would want to develope FOR the iPhone as opposed to developing for Flash on the iPhone because Flash is an additional layer between the user and the hardware that you don't need if you want optimal performance. But who knows!

I won't be back until next Tuesday, so if Get Carter is the correct answer, I would appreciate of someone else posts a new cap for me

I kinda doubt the veracity of that article because it's written based on Apple's TOS and conjecture by the author and other sources, but with no input from Apple at all.
If you developed a Flash application that runs in a browser on the iPhone, I am thinking it will be sandboxed and the application cannot hook into whatever the iPhone has, so you can't be developing stuff that might make use of its address book, its camera, or its built-in GPS. You're basically creating superficial games because there's no way Apple would let some Flash app into the iPhone's innards, that's opening a big can of worms.
And I'm thinking your Flash UI and animation and stuff will always be severly limited because you're programming for something that exists as a layer, you won't have access to all the hardware graphics acceleration and stuff unless you actually develop an app that works on the iPhone.
Plus the drain on battery life. Anyway that's just my understanding which is probably flawed and limited

I agree with you when you mention that Apple isn't going to allow flash to access the "innards" of the phone.
My main thing is that I think apple may feel a little threatened by it because it can take a little of their profit away.
Look at that app that's similar to Bejeweled... the guy has sold I believe over a million of that game over the app store and I know that, that game doesn't take much processing power, which could be a prime candidate for a flash app.
All of the possible "little" flash apps that could possibly take some of the market share would add up and that is something apple really doesn't want.
Anyhow, who cares, just get flash on the damn phone!

You mean that people are not currently bypassing the App store
Flash or not, the store can be bypassed by those who want to.. flash will be rather groovy and welcome addition; they should certainly consider it.
Don't get me wrong, I for one, would LOVE to see flash integrated into the phone. Being a web designer for over 8 years, know the possibilities of flash, and also could care less if people go through the app store or not. I "PWNED" my iphone about one week after I bought it and will still buy an occasional app because I feel the developers should be compensated for their hard work.
I was basically just stating what I had read before to help people understand possibly why they haven't allowed flash to run on the phone yet.
On a different note, damn, I'm going to be tempted to buy this new iphone especially if there's really a significant hardware upgrade!!
