APC has a great article up on the top 10 reasons to hate the new iPhone 3g. As much as I kind of want to, I really don’t hate the new iPhone. In fact, I’d love to have one.
My favorite reason cited: No Adobe Flash support. Ugh.
Undeniably, the iPhone has the best web browser of any phone on the market. But when you hit a web page with Adobe Flash in it, you’ll just get an empty space with a ‘missing plugin’ icon. Apple says Flash would run too slowly on the iPhone, but in reality, it’s probably more to do with Apple wanting to promote its competing web app development technology, Sproutcore.
Apple realises the ‘mobile web’ is at a tipping point… if it can get enough momentum behind developers coding sites specifically for the iPhone, it will help sales of the iPhone along in the long term. (That said, unlike Flash, Sproutcore is an open standard that theoretically works in any web browser that supports Javascript, so it could be widely supported by all handset makers if their phone web browsers got better.)
Who the hell uses Sproutcore?

@Andrejs Skripko : Hmm, big claim. Have you tried the latest Opera Mobile on any WinMo phone ? Its “better” than iSafari by far, and it renders flash / youtube / etc perfectly.
And before you dismiss windows mobile phones just beacus of a knee-jerk reaction to the word windows, put you fanboism aside and check out the latest offerings from HTC.
