Ya it sucks when I want to check my fantasyfootball live scoring on CBS.com and I cant see the whole thing coz flash and java are not enabled!!!
Not to mention the messenger/chat applications are crippled since they cant run in the background. And there are no push notifications for my facebook and myspace apps!! Arrrggghhh! But the ebook reader and cooking application are very nice LOL Sanga M.

I don't want to come across as insulting your holy grail version of UNIX. but to not support Java or flash in a web enabled phone's OS is a big misstep. This isn't because of the software not being able to get a version ready in time for the launch, it is because the iPhone's OS does not allow it Apps to interact with 3rd party software unless Apple agrees it is neccessary. The fact that the OS can't really multi task, you can't talk on the phone and use another application at the same time. There are a lot of problems with with the implementation of UNIX on the iPhone.
