Apple releases iPhone Software Update version 1.0.2
Focusing on stability ahead of new features, Apple on Tuesday began providing iPhone owners with yet another small maintenance software update.iPhone Software version 1.0.2 is available by docking your iPhone to your Mac (or PC), selecting the device in iTunes, and then hitting "Check for Update."
The agenda for the latest update? "Bug fixes," according to the release notes.
The update takes about a minute or so, half of which is spent "verifying" the handset's existing iPhone software. Therefore, iPhone owners who've 'hacked' or otherwise modified their software may first need to restore their iPhone software before applying the update.
Tuesday's iPhone update is the second for Apple in as many months. The company in late July issued iPhone version 1.0.1 which added subtle refinements and major fixes.

Focusing on stability ahead of new features,
What exactly does this mean? Are they prepping it for more features in a soon to be released update, or does it indicate they have given priority to bug fixes over introducing new features.
So I guess do they mean 'ahead' is "in the future" or "priority to"
There's a new 3G menu option in settings. 
(and yes, that was a joke)
I think that was just an observation that Apple is more concerned with stability of the iPhone and bug fixes than trying to add new features... as evidenced by 2 bug fix releases since Jun 29 but no new features.

What does it mean, it means they are trying to stop the hackers as hackers=instability...

No thanks. I have no need for Flash.
Especially with Apple's partnership (being bribed) with YouTube, I'd say you won't see Flash support for quite some time.

right-on, but i think that's more of an Adobe thing at the moment.

I think it has less to do with partnerships and more with wanting to promote standards over proprietary formats that Apple doesn't own. Why help Adobe monopolize the web?
Besides, I think there's a world of difference between saying "Flash support" and what the real user experience of using Flash on a mobile device would be. Most mobile devices that have any Flash support at all only support Flash Lite, which would still exclude most of the sites that employ Flash. Getting a mobile device--particularly an ARM-based mobile device to truly support Flash would be a nightmare. And even then, the limitations of a finger-gesture user interface would cause all sorts of problems for many Flash sites.
And all of that at what benefit to Apple? Adobe could pull the plug on Flash development for iPhone whenever it wanted, in order to give its own Flash-based mobile operating system (I.e Prada phone) the advantage.
Flv playback? Maybe. But full Flash support is just unlikely to happen. Personally, I hope Google and Apple kill Flash with Ajax and the next implementations of HTML and CSS.
No one owns the Web. And no one should.
