I don't think that flash will be here anytime soon. Jobs said that it is too sluggish on the platform, and from what I have heard, the phones that do have flash support (Nokias come to mind) they are exactly speed demons. Flash is a desktop/laptop thing, if you have ever used flash on OS X I am sure you noticed that it consumes anywhere from 60-100% CPU depending on what you are doing. That is on a dual core CPU, imagine now a single core at like 600MHz... not real great. Plus that will kill battery life.
