OK, so I caved in and got an iPhone 3G S approximately half-a-day after it was released and not before bitching up a storm on Twitter about o2's upgrade policies (I finally ponied up for the pay-as-you-go version which means that I'm approximately £450 poorer now and will be living on beans for the rest of the month!)

As such, please read my follow-up post, The Flex 4 One-Step Migration Challenge and let's try and make a list of the Flex 4 migration challenges for Flex 3 apps and try to address them.
Please also note what I mean by "migration" (from the comments):
