Um, not really ironic. Once Adobe got ahold of it (and even during Macromedia's latter days) it became a bloated "development platform". Conceived to be a portable technology, yes. In practice/development, no.
In reality Flash is mostly bloated, resource hungry, snake oil. It's got some redeeming qualities (flash video encoder, for example), but is probably the most misused application I can think of.
I have used an iPhone extensively, and can tell you I don't miss waiting for Flash banner ads to load over the network, when I'm on the go and trying to access useful information in mobile Safari.
I will probably buy a G1 in the next month or so, but it being able to run Flash is not a buying point for me.
