Flash on mobile would have worked - even on iPhone but it didn't for a few simple business reasons. Control - Jobs wanted every semblance of an "app" to go through the app store. Flash would have wrestled control of the iPhone from Apple. Summary - with this view, Jobs advocated HTML simply because it was crippled. I couldn't pull out better arguments for the ffg: 1. cost - using bigger batteries and cpu would have solved the problem. 2. Reflow - flash apps written for desktop wouldn't look good on mobile. At the end of the day, companies spin announcement to suit their own (unannounced) agendas.
