Why doesn't apple and all the other phone companies have a phone with an interactive flash player

Battery life and usability.

This has been asked numerous times on this site, and all over the internet. I love ya afghanmoose, but here are the links:

The basic reason Flash is not on the iphone is technical, and the ball is in Adobe’s court. The actionscript is too bulky for Apple’s taste – it drains the battery. Adobe has built mobile versions of flash for every other platform but the iphone [which changed yesterday when Adobe announced that they would develop for the iphone]. Another technical speedbump is that Flash cannot currently translate screen taps into mouseovers, and so many features in flash depend on mouseovers.

I think I get irritated when people do not realize that perhaps the issues are technical. But consumers don’t think that way, so under the rug goes another frustration.

thanks squirbel,ur the best, and my bad on the question being asked more than once

It’s cool, sorry if I sounded snippy :)
