Arul twittered this parody of the iPhone a few moments ago. It's really well made and, well, makes an important point very nicely.

hahaha, the sarcasm!
If there was a good alternative to Flash that worked in Safari, i wouldn’t mind so much.
Unfortunately, whilst the cool vector graphics and animation might be covered (using JavaScript combined with the SVG support OR Canvas OR if possible, the DOM), sound and video aren’t. Plus of course JavaScript can be very slow if misused (which sadly is easy to do).
Of course there is always the possibility, however remote, that they’ll release an update which adds Flash support (which hopefully will work better than the rather crappy Flash 7 player you can get for PocketPC devices).
i just read on appleinsider that they are working on a Flash plugin for the iPhone

don’t know if you allready heard of it, but there you go ;-)
Its coming.
I just hope its not crippled like Flashlite and it doesn’t suck up a lot of extra battery power.
Entering the exact search words into youtube on my laptop, and youtube on my iphone, “iphone no flash parody” one returns the video, the other returns no result. Wanna guess which one doesn’t show the result? Anyone else notice this? Is apple editing our youtube content?
Nice! perhaps Apple are doing UAT for YouTube China
Nice Aral. I really like your sense of humor!
