I would still rather have a large download than no download. Adding flash wouldn't hurt anything, it would simply enable some more developers into the iPhone space.

> Adding flash wouldn't hurt anything Remember that "software decoding + crash problems" bit? It certainly would cause harm. And Apple's not concerned about bringing more developers to the iPhone, they're concerned about bringing _great_ developers to the platform. It's never really been about numbers with Apple, anyway. EDIT: I'm also not saying that Flash developers are bad, and that they shouldn't make things for the iPhone. I'm just saying that Apple's not playing a numbers game, they're playing a quality game. I'm sure Apple would love for all Flash devs to start making apps with Objective C.

meh... I'd pick quality over quantity any day...

  Unless you didn't have enough to choose from; that is, you were drastically deficient in quantity.

    That's one thing the iPhone App Store isn't.
