Why don't iPhones support flash, and do you know if they soon will?

I want to be able to view flash stuff on my iPhone. Quite a few websites don't work properly on my iphone, and I can't view news videos. Why is this? Do you know of plans to get this feature working? Will it involve buying a whole new phone, or will it be something that will just begin to work on existing iPhones? Does this flash problem bother you if you are an iphone user? Share your thoughts.Why don't iPhones support flash, and do you know if they soon will?
Steve Jobs saw how Flash looked on the iPhone and saw that it was slow (what did you do Adobe???).





He also saw the Flash Lite that was for mobile phones and felt that the amount of ';stuff'; (quality, features, etc.) cut to make it run on mobile phones was too much.





He knew that the iPhone was the only phone that is a mini computer...the only problem is that it's not the top of the line computer (600 Mhz processor).





So Steve Jobs is waiting for a Flash version in between. Decent quality for full speed.





Currently Adobe is using the iPhone SDK to make Flash. They have to really impress Steve Jobs, however, otherwise they cannot distribute it (since the only way to distribute is through AppStore [unless you are a paying developer]).Why don't iPhones support flash, and do you know if they soon will?
