If a website relied on a powerpoint presentation as it's main content and the phone didnt have powerpoint it would be a different story I'm sure.

I don't like adverts either but *I* want to choose what I can and cannot see. There's no reason why flash or Java can't be optional.

I don't think it is Apples fault for various websites having a poor design.
