My iPhone First Page
Despite what the Teh Tarik Drinker says about the majority of iPhone users being giggling teenagers, the iPhone remains one of the best phones I’ve ever used. Here’s the front page of my phone with my most frequently used apps:

Jobs on Flash on iDevices
Steve Jobs writes an open letter on why Apple doesn’t allow Flash on iPhones, iPods, and iPads:
Adobe has characterized our decision as being primarily business driven – they say we want to protect our App Store – but in reality it is based on technology issues.
In his essay, Jobs lines up 6 reasons why: Flash is a closed system; H.264 (an alternative video format) adoption; reliability, security and performance; battery life; touch interface compatibility; and Flash as a cross platform development tool — something Apple wants to avoid.
I categorize myself as a pretty hardcore iPhone user. And what I’ve come to realize over the 1 year of my ownership of my iPhone is that I don’t miss Flash at all. Then again, I don’t play FarmVille or watch RedTube.
Point is, there is a big chance that for anything on the internet, somewhere in the wilderness of the world-wide-web exists a HTML5/CSS/JS alternative. The iPhone was launched back in 1997. If you didn’t miss Flash back then, chances are that you won’t miss it now. And if there isn’t, there probably is an app for that.

Here is the solution as provided by Apple which I followed to the letter.

I own an 8GB iPhone 3G synchronizing selected iPhoto albums on my MacBook Pro using iTunes.
