Jobs says Flash just doesn't cut the mustard and won't show up on the iPhone [1] [2].
Does that mean we will see Silverlight running on the iPhone first? There are some rumors... [3] [4]

I've been pondering this disruption in the force also today. One other tidbit: Install the Beta2 of Microsoft Expression Media. One of the options is to install Quicktime to "enable additional file formats and functionality". The "yes" option is recommended by the installer.
I could be wrong, but I thought that the EULA for the iPhone SDK prohibited the developer from writing what amounts to a runtime environment (this is what is keeping Java and Flash off of the iPhone currently). Wouldn't this apply to Silverlight as well?
