I wish Flash would just go away, particularly for video applications. Like AIR, Silverlight, and other runtime environments, it gives mainstream users a proprietary interface that breaks the UI principles they are used to. It also introduces new privacy and security considerations that mainstream users are ill-equipped to even recognize.

Yeah, I care... a LOT. We do a lot of web development in FLEX delivered through the flash player. Opening up a platform like the iPhone (and hopefully Android) to consume this kind of web application would be a great way to deliver compelling web applications to a mobile device.

No, I do not. Adobe thinks they are going to force Apple's hand, and Apple is not going to allow Flash on the iPhone. John Gruber had a pretty succinct post that explained it yesterday... allowing Flash would allow developers to work around Cocoa and thereby around the App Store. Makes no sense for Apple to allow it.
