iPhone web browsing

This is a little thing that is becoming huge around the world. There is a plug-in for internet browsers known as Flash, and it runs about 90% of multi-media on the net. However, Flash doesn't run on the iPhone. Adobe, the makers of Flash, have a smaller version out for hand-held devices called Flash Lite. 
The problem is that due to the fact that the iPhone is essentially a hand held computer with more multi-media capability than current hand-held devices, Apple says that Flash Lite doesn't have enough "power" to handle the data that the iPhone was made for. Apple also says that the full Flash program is too big and bulky to run on the iPhone, but they won't release the tools that Adobe needs to be able to write a Flash plug-in specifically for the iPhone.
Now you ask yourself, "What does that mean to me?" Well, simply put, it means that about 1/2 the internet is unavailable to you if you have an iPhone. That's all I got...
