Wired Blog has a great analysis of the Flash - Apple - iPhone relationship, and why we won't see it turn into anything for quite sometime. A great read, so I won't offer any spoilers save for this; Apple has it written in their Terms of Service agreement with app developers prohibiting the use of Flash.

Flash and The iPhone: Keep Dreaming

Adobe To Bring Flash To iPhone
Apple Insider reports that Adobe has said they are close to releasing a version of their Flash player for the iPhone.
Sr. Director of Engineering at Adobe Systems Paul Betlem made mention that the program is nearly finished, however Apple's closely guarded App Store system would have the final say. Should Apple approve the software, it would be available "in a very short time," Betlem added.
Betlam was speaking at the Flash On The Beach (FOTB) conference.
As an iPhone user, I’m sure I’m not alone in saying there needs to be a video capability of some kind for the iPhone beyond the YouTube application, which in my opinion is subpar. Now that the G1 is on its way, despite its wholly unimpressive build and features, there is now competition for the basics that the iPhone provides. The first in the video race will truly set themselves apart as a viable media channel. Until then, the market will continue to stutter in the face of technological roadblocks and a growing content base.
