Flash - iPhone, iPhone - Flash. It seems that never the twain shall meet. One of the major drawbacks of this is that you can't access Google Analytics via mobile Safari because the site is dependent on Flash. However, there is a really nice app available which is, in many ways, actually better than viewing Analytics on the web - just learnt about it at Macworld today:

Fwiw.

I hate everything Flash. I want it to just die.

I don't know of a better way of delivering video content via the web. What do you have against video?

He has nothing against video. Video worked fine on the web before Flash came. And then everyone jumped on it with the result of tons of low quality clips everywhere.

That's news to anyone who used the web before Flash - like it or not, but Mac users could not watch a vast amount of video on the web because it was WMV encoded and/or DRMe'd. Even though Flash is less than ideal on the Mac, at least it removed control of video delivery from Microsoft and Real who were determined to lock you into (or out of) their systems.
I have absolutely nothing against Flash - it does what it does and works well enough. It could be better on the Mac, could use less CPU, etc. but at least it is a write once, works everywhere solution (except the iPhone). Until Flash appears on the iPhone (if it ever does), I am sick of not being able to use sites that absolutely require it. The app I posted a link to at least lets me use one Flash dependent site that is mission critical for me on my iPhone. I hope that in the not-too-distant future, I'll be able to use all the others too.
