Basically put, there are certain essential elements of Flash that simply do not work -- and cannot be made to work -- on devices that do not use a mouse and pointer, regardless of the political positions of Adobe and Apple.
Apple's just wrapping themselves up tighter in their own little coccoon around the festering pile of [BLEEP] known as "iTunes". As long as they insist on tying everything but their actual computers to that horrendous mutant codebase, I'll insist on avoiding their products.
Yeah, I do like Apple's user interface and industrial design. What I am not thrilled with is the rather ordinary hardware behind it all, for the price you pay. And, as you bring up, I am not fond at all of their "walled garden" approach to having iTunes as the gateway (complete with toll gate) to load pre-approved applications onto a device that I would own.
