But Nokia adopted Flash Lite 4-5 years ago, when Silverlight was just a *sparkle* in some Microsoft PM's eye as he thought about how they could have someting as popular as Flash for themselves! IMHO the iPhone is flawed as an internet browsing device while it doesn't support the most installed plug-in in the history of the web (and a flawed smartphone while it's not even 3G).
It's purely business, and a poor business decision at that. Flash Lite 3 runs perfectly on non-PC devices with less grunt than the iPhone (e.g. Chumby), and Flash Player 9 is on the Nokia N810 - where's the need for a middle product Steveo?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
