I'm not sure it has anything to do with app store revenue. I can write
an app in SVG/javascript and run it in safari today on the iPhone.
Flash support wouldn't be much different...just like a web app but
requiring a plugin. A flash app running in safari would have no access
to the iPhone OS capabilities, so wouldn't have to be sold via the app
store.
The app store sells apps that run natively on the iPhone OS. Of course
apple wants to control that, and not solely for revenue reasons - they
also have a vested interest in keeping malware off their platform.
The reasons Flash content doesn't run in safari on the iPhone are more
technical than political, though of course there are political angles
to all of it.

I can say… NOT the iPhone.. (GRUMBLE) ;)
I did see a list on Adobe’s website a while back but I couldn’t
find it when I went to look just now. Perhaps they weren’t updating
it? Or perhaps they are and I just couldn’t find it again…

If not aware of any that run Flash v10, but there are many that run
v9. There
isn't a definitive list, not even per-vendor, as far as I know.
