Why Apple, and myself, does NOT want Flash on the iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad.

Flash is horrible! Why do I want to have something that will, slow down my device by high amounts, drain my battery a lot, crash my browser, crash my phone, lag my browser, play content when I don't want it, like those ads that automatically start playing. For example, if I'm in a nice 5 star restaurant, browsing the web on my iPhone, and somehow a pornographic flash advertisement appears, starts playing and produces loud sex noises, what are people around me going to think? Not to mention the fact that it will probably lag my home button response, therefore staying there for longer. Also, most flash games require left and right clicking and mouse hovers, how am I supposed to do that on a touch screen device? If you want flash, get Cloud Browse on the App Store, then you can use it all you want, but when you do, then you'll realize why you don't want it to run natively on the device. Cloud Browse contacts a computer with a flash capable browser, allowing you to view flash on a remote server, rather than your actual device, which is what allowed it to be approved on the App Store.
