As I said earlier, they want to leverage the advantage they have with apps. If they build the apps. with Flash or some multiplatform API, then they're ceding that advantage.

So of course they want developers to make apps. which are only compatible with the iPhone OS, so that people keep buying Apple products which have all these apps.

If Android had all the apps., would they behave differently? They don't care because they want people to use browsers and Google services which drive search advertising revenues.

Anyways, you will be able to get portable devices with Flash and we'll see if the claims about battery life turn out to be true and whether Flash games and apps. outshine native Android apps.
