(2) The most obnoxious ads use Flash. No Flash support = no obnoxious ads. Ever. Until they port them to HTML5, anyway.
(3) I couldn't care less about stupid Facebook games.
(4) Media companies are already trying to support HTML 5 video, which works seamlessly on the next version of the iPhone OS.
(5) The ONLY things that ever crash on my Mac are Flash and Microsoft Entourage--and Flash crashing on the iPhone OS would probably crash the whole device.
