When Apple launched a trio of iPhone ads earlier in the week, each included a disclaimer that read: "Use requires minimum new 2 year activation plan." However, a fourth spot added to the mix on Wednesday omitted the warning and Apple subsequently removed the note from all previous iPhone spots.
At the same time, readers also noted that the latest ad, which promotes an embedded version of Apple's Safari web browser, shows a Adobe Flash clip rendering properly on the New York Times website.
Although the Flash clip cannot be seen running in the ad, the fact that it renders has led to speculation that Apple will manage to include support for digital media format at the time of iPhone's launch.

Well, hopefully Flash is in the iPhone. The computer at work doesn't have Flash installed (nor is it allowed) and it effectively makes many sites unusable. On the plus side, it does also prevent a fair number of ads from appearing as well. But if the iPhone is truly supposed to be a mobile web device, it needs Flash.
I can't wait for pop up ads when I get my iPhone...
Including flash support would be a very wise decision for Apple.

It also needs a good way to block it.
