And yes I get that many people do a lot of web browsing on their phone, so maybe my post came across to broadly. But I do think most of it is fairly light stuff like that.
But anyway, I'll restate it more personally--I'd never do much browsing on a phone (if any at all, smart phones are pointless to me since I don't travel much and spend 95%+ of my time near a PC) and it would be limited to very basic stuff like e-mail, looking up an address to put in the GPS in the car etc. Not worth the $30 a month data plan--especially when I only pay $20 a month for my 12mbps home internet!
I 100% would on a tablet as it would be my main surf the web on the couch or in bed gadget, so Flash support is a must for me in a tablet until some future date when Flash isn't so prevalent on sites I frequent.

Flash is not a want or need for me as I don't frequent many sites that use Flash. I'm not into Flash games, Flash video on a mobile device or my laptop.
Obviously, Apple's mobile products don't fit your wants or needs whereas the iPhone does an EXCELLENT job fulfilling my wants and needs. The data plan does a heck of a lot more than look up addresses for the GPS. Here's an example for you. Yesterday, I was out for coffee with a friend. We were talking about the oil spill. Whip out the iPhone and current information about the spill including maps, video, etc. We were also talking about the Norman Conquest. Again, the iPhone provided information germane to the conversation.
