Why do you think that you do not have Flash on the iPhone or on the T-Mobile G1?

I have only surfed the web via mobile using the iPhone. The safari on it is just amazing. For all the things I do on the web like email, news, sports scores, facebook or orkut it worked like a charm.

Venkat - fully agree. Apart from the non-availability of Flash, Mobile Safari has set the bar for mobile browsers.
It also helps that given the hype around iPhone/iPod Touch, several web-based applications have come up with iPhone-optimized versions, making mobile Safari look even better.

The most talked-about explanation is that since rendering Flash
animation is CPU-intensive, it might slow own iPhones/iPods Touch,
especially video-sharing websites like YouTube.
For the more probable reason - business shenanigans - read this
