The two news items are totally unrelated.
There is no iPlayer because current iPhone has no 3G.
The BBC have chosen ~500Kbps data rate for their streaming... Edge tops out at around 230Kbs in my experience... It's a shame they don't offer two streams... But I knew the iPhone was Edge based when I bought it... When I upgrade (when apple bring out a 32Gig version) I would expect it to have 3G.
I'll give my existing iPhone to my younger brother, it will be fine for his needs... he's only 12 now...
There is no flash player because Apple thinks the current player is too slow to be usable. It can be argued whether this is a problem of the software or the iPhone.
Hmmm, there are lots of conspiracy theories as to why the iPhone has no Flash... I reckon politics has a lot more to do with it than anything else... Steve Job is an ar$ehole when he doesn't get his way... that's how apple survived when all the other companies folded...
