Anything with Android (Especially 2nd Generation such as Droid or Nexus One), because very soon any 2nd gen Android phone with Eclair (2.1) will be able to run Adobe Flash.

Though in terms of browsing web-based apps, the iPhone doesn't do too bad a job, as long as its mainly just reliant on css/javascript and not plugins, but you'll be limited on everything else, and we'll probably already be using HTML5 sites long before apple will ever accept flash on their platforms.

PS: A rooted droid or nexus one = plenty of app potentials without the interference of the carrier/mfr.

HAHAHA!
Every web enabled phone for the last 6 years has claimed the very next update/gen will support flash. At this point its entirely tarded to buy based on the promise of flash.

It's been confirmed by Adobe themselves, not the phone manufactures.

Adobe Unveils AIR on Mobile Devices; Readies Flash Player 10.1 for Launch Feb. 15th 2010

BARCELONA, Spain. — Feb. 15, 2010 — At Mobile World Congress™ 2010, Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced advancements to the Adobe® Flash® Platform including the unveiling of Adobe® AIR® on mobile devices, a consistent runtime for standalone applications to come out of the Open Screen Project™, an industry-wide initiative led by Adobe that has grown to close to 70 ecosystem partners. With support for the Android™ platform expected in 2010, AIR provides developers with a feature-rich environment for delivering rich applications outside the mobile browser and across multiple operating systems via mobile marketplaces and app stores. AIR leverages mobile specific features from Flash® Player 10.1, is optimized for high performance on mobile screens and designed to take advantage of native device capabilities for a richer and more immersive user experience.

Adobe also announced that a beta of Flash Player 10.1 was made available to content providers and mobile developers worldwide. With the general availability expected in the first half of 2010, Flash Player 10.1 is the first consistent runtime release of the Open Screen Project enabling uncompromised Web browsing of expressive applications, content and high definition (HD) videos across screens including new tablet devices, smartphones, netbooks, smartbooks, desktops and other consumer electronics. According to a Strategy Analytics analysis from January 2010, more than 250 million smartphones are expected to support the full Flash Player by the end 2012. Mobile platforms that will support the full Flash Player include Android, the BlackBerry® platform, Symbian® OS, Palm® webOS and Windows Mobile®. Partners from across the ecosystem commented on the progress of Flash Player 10.1 today.

“We are excited about the progress with Flash Player 10.1 and the work that developers, content publishers and close to 70 partners in the Open Screen Project have done so far as part of the beta program,” said David Wadhwani, general manager and vice president, Platform Business at Adobe. “With the Flash Platform further advancing on mobile devices, we enable developers and content publishers to deliver to any screen, so that consumers have open access to their favorite interactive media, content, and applications across platforms.”

Adobe AIR enables developers to deliver Web applications outside the constraints of a browser. With support for mobile devices Adobe AIR includes specific functionality offered by mobile operating systems and devices such as multi-touch, gesture inputs, accelerometer, geolocation and screen orientation. With Flash Platform tooling and the Adobe Creative Suite®, developers and content publishers are able to create, test and deliver applications to multiple devices and operating systems using a single tool chain and API set across platforms. Developers using Adobe® Flash® Professional CS5 with the Adobe Packager for iPhone can reuse their iPhone application code to create the same application for Android.

"Adobe AIR 2.0 is a great technology for developing engaging mobile applications," said Christy Wyatt, vice president, Software Applications and Ecosystem at Motorola. "We look forward to seeing AIR come to the Android platform and developers creating applications that will delight our end-users."

Extending the functionality supported in Adobe AIR to mobile devices allows developers to easily create contextual applications that are characterized by their ability to adapt presentation and performance to different application contexts while reusing code for each device or platform. Application contexts include different display screens, device-specific interaction techniques, functionality specific to the mobile platform, as well as differences in network access and bandwidth. Content can also be personalized based on user history or social data.

Then regarding my claim bout eclair and 2nd generation devices (Feb. 25th 2010):
No Flash 10.1 for 1st gen Android phones – Android and Me


“You can expect the final release for Android to be available mid-year. All Android devices that meet our minimum s/w and h/w requirements will be supported. Unfortunately, I cannot say a lot more publicly about our port to the Android platform at this time.

No, the HTC Hero will not be supported b/c it does not have the correct Anroid OS version and it’s chipset is not powerful enough. We require a device with an ARM v7 (Cortex) processor. Examples include the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets and TI OMAP3 series.”
Antonio Flores - Adobe

U.S. Android phones that will not support Flash 10.1:

Sprint Hero
Sprint Moment
T-Mobile G1
T-Mobile myTouch 3G
T-Mobile CLIQ
T-Mobile Behold II
Verizon Droid Eris
Verizon Devour
 
Well at this point, short of subsidization, there's not a whole lot of point buying a 1st gen android phone, unless you're getting it quite cheap. The Droid/Nexus and phones that follow its hardware capacity is going to be far more suited for the future innovation of applications. Right now most of the 1st gen android phones (such as the Magic/Sapphire, etc) are on par with the iPhone in terms of capability (minus of course the GPU which is closer to that of the Nexus)

But I think that only really matters if you're a big mobile gamer.

(If you try to get an HTC Magic, find a 32A, has much more Rams)

If you want a phone that looks cool, get the iPhone.
If you want a phone for business get the Nokia N900.

I need to control multiple campaigns, check on stats and revenue, make tweaks, pull reports, communicate with partners etc. You'll need some serious multitasking for that, and the iPhone isn't even on the starting line: iPhone Multitasking, Where You At? - Columns by PC Magazine. Throughout the day, like when I'm out doing what you see me doing in the http://www.wickedfire.com/shooting-shit/86335-post-pic-you-offline-3.html thread, I do all that on the N900 when I used to keep a laptop in the car.
Every web enabled phone for the last 6 years has claimed the very next update/gen will support flash. At this point its entirely tarded to buy based on the promise of flash.
No promises here. Yes, it does have Flash. Youtube? Just got to youtube.com. Love the thing.
