Good article. One thing it says resonates with me--the part about developers choosing to avoid flash since the iPhone won't support it. Our app has reporting and charting as a main feature and some of the best charting components are flash-based. I've already decided to find something else (JS/CSS/whatever) so that it can run on the iPhone.

We're generating svg graph files with AT&T's open source graphviz product. Graphviz is really impressive.

  Unfortunately I tested the iPhone Safari -- it doesn't support svg right now. Safari for Leopard is supposed to support it so I imagine it will come in an update.

    That is unfortunate. I'll send an email to my friend on the Iphone sw team about it right now.

      My friend from Iphone sw: "I have no idea when this will be available." sigh

I've written lots of reporting systems. I always keep things abstracted enough that supporting new visualization methods is painless. I'll be adding support for the iPhone as a simple plugin.
