Hi People, Steve Jobs doesn't want Flash on the iPhone. He has always stated Flash is too slow for the iPhone. Flash is known to be the #1 contributor to Apple's crash logs, so why would he want a non-apple plugin crashing Apple software Safari?
If Safari crashes, people don't blame the bad Flash plugin, (which Apple have no control over), they blame Safari.
