If Apple would make development on the device more open, you'd probably see Gnash (or another open source flash player) on the iPhone in no time. Similarly, the Mobipocket reader is available in Java, which would probably run on the iPhone just fine, if allowed to do so. That could be tougher to get past, though, as it would not only involve opening the iPhone (with or without Apple's help and permission) but getting Apple and Mobi to agree to talk to one another. Watching similar negotiations crawl along with iRex wouldn't make me hopeful about a Mobi-Apple deal, but I suppose one never knows. (Mobi ought to be keen on it -- with all the hype about the iPhone, it could be a killer platform for them.)
