If there's no Flash on the iphone,
And we all can daily sing hosannas of praise for that!
I'm just looking to go to a URL and an
animation fills the screen and is playing, no quicktime control bar or
anything and preferably vector graphics rather than video. I tried an
animated GIF but that doesn't fill the screen on the iphone, and worse
it doesn't play.
For animated GIF type stuff except better, the <canvas> tag is your
friend.

... one alternative would be to write an iphone
app which receives vector info and reproduces the animation with
quartz or opengl graphics. But that's like writing a whole flash-
player type thing and maybe there's something like that already?
Indeed there would be! It would be the infinitely superior alternative
to Flash that Adobe came up with before they decided that it was
easier to buy Macromedia than beat them; and yea, it shalt be called
"SVG".

Don't know if support for SVG made it to the currently shipping Mobile
Safari, but you should be able to google up some test pages without
any difficulty. If it's not there now, it'll get there sooner or later
I don't doubt.
In the meantime, should you be impatient, I don't doubt that an SVG ->
CoreGraphics translator would be pretty straightforward to write in
Cocoa of any flavour. Speaking from near-complete ignorance there, of
course.
