When? There are some sites that I have to have Flash for and obviously can't get it on my iPhone. It seems like each day I have a new complaint. I do like the idea of an $18K BMW and might change my interest in getting Flash to get one of those instead! :)

Anthony, thanks for the kind words. Truth be told, I was trying to capture the paradox that Apple faces in trying to grow a developer ecosystem, as perception has a way of becoming reality. Manage too lose, they will kill the platform. Manage too aggressively, they will kill the ecosystem.

Apple going "mainstream" would be the equivalent of BMW making $18K cars.

I'm betting my mobile business plans on Android. I do own an iPhone and I love it, but the majority of my target customers will likely never be able to afford one, unless Apple does the equivalent of what I mentioned above. Not likely.

Mark -- Did you give yourself a high five when you came up with that metaphor? Because you should have.

In my opinion, this is a great test of the control v. (developer) community dynamics that will continue to play out as Apple tries to build a mainstream platform; namely, secure developer ecosystem love while maintaining the high performance bar that they have established with the iPhone/iPod touch family of devices.

In that respect, it is somewhat of a three dimensional chess game unfolding, something I blogged about in, ‘The Scorpion, the Frog and the iPhone SDK.’
