There are a number of things that could negate that story, but it is still one of those rumors that you just really hope is true. A screen shot of the iPhone loading the site lonelyplanet.com, shows the device rendering out Flash substance on the site. The site has a mini map on the side, that looks a undoubtful way when loaded up in Flash, and additionally a undoubtful way when loaded up without it.

That is what the site looks like under iPhone firmware 1.1.4, a flat map with no Flash, and no variations. It is clearly very different from the screen shot of a normal desktop web browser, loading the site up, with full Flash support.

As you can see in that screen shot from a desktop, the map is a little fancier. It has color variations, and plus hover effects and mouse by actions.

Lastly, that is how it looks on the iPhone 3G. Well, that is how it might look. Clearly the device shows a full version of the page in the browser, but that is nearly certainly marketing material. Meaning screen rendering, and that could be an oversight by Apple. On the more exciting side, Apple could have thrown in Flash support and waited for someone to catch on to that little detail, you decide.
