Very good points P. A. Bagyenda I agree with you on both java and flash. Any Linux user has a host of complaints about java and flash. The only problem is a lot of websites are built using this technology so it would not be wise to totally ignore it. The area of rich web apps will always be hotly contested, just look at moonlight and silverlight.
I fit Apple into the mold of other phone vendors. They are indeed trying to lock their customers into their technologies and not allow any other vendors in. Same thing RIM and Microsoft do. The space of PDA/Ultra Moblie devices will be very interesting to watch over the next couple years as vendors jockey for position. But so long as Linux and other OSS apps keep getting ported to these devices I won't mind watching them fight.
