The reason why flash is not on the iPhone is because Flash is not designed for use on touch screen devices. 
 
For example, most flash uses the onhover state for many things... there is no onhover for touch devices, things are either being touched or not. If you are hovering over (touching) something you can't see it. 
 
The overall design and user experience of Flash on a touch screen doesn't work. Plus flash is a horrible horrible memory hog. 
 
These are the main reasons Apple does do it. Plus... if you look at Safari statistical data... something like 80 - 90% of time, IIRC,  Safari crashes is because of Flash.

You can change the wallpaper to anything. Just sounds like your frustrated. None of those things are actual problems. I love my 3GS. 
 
The issues I have with android phones are maybe the opposite. 
 
Multitasking apps kills the battery. 
I don't need a flash for the camera.  I have a real camera for that.  
Why do you need an infrared camera on your phone?
The lack of a media management solution that works (copy files to an android is not management.) I love iTunes, it works flawlessly (aside from DRM stuff which is why I don't buy music or movies from iTunes anyone, I rip my own CD's). 
 On the iPhone I can be on a call and browse the web (or do almost anything else) at the same time. 
 Fuck Flash. Fuck Flash in every possible way. With any luck it will go away once HTML 5 video embedding becomes mainstream. 
 The iPhone screens are much more accurate. 

 On top of that, I have a Mac computer and the integration is seamless. The overall user experience on an iPhone is second to none. None of the other solutions even come close to overall integration and ease of use. 
 
And as for Windows phones... they have always been awful (IMHO), I expect no different from Win 7. The panoramic UI is weird, IMHO.

Onion rings... but I actually like to have them both at the same time... we need a choice C.

@Jambones:  PS3 has built in Blu-Ray, WiFi (a saviour for me many times), larger hard drive options since you can put any laptop hard drive in them. I prefer the PS3 interface since it is stream lined and elegant (opposed to ads everyone on Live). I would get a PS3, no question... but ultimately... which system has the most game *YOU* want to play. For me, I like the PS3 exclusives better so even though I have both... I almost never use my 360. My wife uses my 360 as a DVD player so i guess at least it wasn't a waste of money. 
  
On the 360 the only games I play are Forza (sometimes), Gears of War and Mass Effect (mostly) and I only half like those games. 

On the PS3 the games that draw me to the system include: Uncharted, Resistance, Killzone, God of War, Wipeout HD, Super Stardust HD, inFAMOUS, Grad Turismo, Shatter, and many many more. Playing on my PS3 just feels better to me, so that is what I use. Plus I buy my movies, and I enjoy the higher quality of Blu-Rays.

" Or you could realise that it's ridiculous to claim that you're entitled to any content at all. You paid for what you got: tell me, was the full package a satisfying, full experience? If so, then it makes no difference that they hid two maps on the disc.  You are not entitled to everything a developer creates over the course of developing a game; you are simply entitled to what is contained in the retail package. If you get that, and are satisfied, then there is nothing to complain about. "
listening to Jaffe huh? ;) true though.

PS3:
Resistance 3 
Grand Turismo 5 (a solid release date once and for all)  
inFAMOUS 2 
MotorStorm 3
Cross game parties/audio chat  
3D (well, we are going to see it weather we like it or not)
 
Crazy wishlist: A Wipeout HD sequel would be cool but I am sure we are not going to see that for a while. I would also love to see a Warhawk sequel.

360:
Gears of War 3 
  
Multiplatform: 
Dead Space 2  
Fallout: New Vegas 
Info about the next Borderlands 
The next COD 

Something completely new for each console.

We will likely see some Move(yawn) and 3D stuff from Sony. 
 
We will likely see a lot of Natal stuff from MS (yawn).

maybe, might wait for a sale deal. i was hoping they would add spec ops stuff too so I am a little disappointed its just maps... although I am glad they are bring back some of the COD4 maps, I like the COD4 maps better.

" The single best reason to not be a vegetarian... and I quote myself:  "Out in nature everything is food for everything else in one way or another.

Except that cows are vegetarians.  In nature, meat-eaters drink water with their tongues. Herbivores (vegetarians) drink with their lips.  What do humans do? "
uh... the cow part was a joke.

@BeachThunder: that many bananas would kill you from an overdose of potassium. our bodies need variety. too much of any one single thing can actually cause significant harm to our bodies.
