dozens? there are two dominant mobile device platforms, iphone and
android.

neither one has flash. mobile flash does not exist yet. a beta of
mobile flash is expected soon and will be in the next release of
android, but it requires a fairly powerful processor which means a lot
of android devices won't be running it.

they're doing it right now. mafia wars already is a native iphone app,
farmville is coming. hulu is working on a native iphone app. plenty of
other examples.

That's stupid. Adobe cannot force anybody to use flash, but Apple
does force people to not use Flash.
