Most Android phones have four physical buttons on the bottom: home, menu, back and search. But an Iphone has only home. What do you use on the Iphone as an equivalent to the menu button? The menu button on my HTC will give you differen menus depending on what you're doing. Sometimes it gives nothing.
I suppose Back on an Iphone is always swipe, is that right?
Re Adobe Flash not existing on an Iphone - when you use an Iphone to visit sites with Flash content - does the Iphone automatically read the Flash content and change it to another thing (like H264)? Or does it depend on how each site is set up?

There is no equivalent for the menu button, as the iPhone doesn't have nested menus like android supports. Most iPhone apps have a settings button somewhere you can push, or you can change settings in the Settings app built into the iPhone.

No, usually there is a little back button at the top left. Depends on where you are in the phone and what app you're using.

It won't display the content. The iPhone can't just "change" stuff to whatever it likes, that's not possible.
That's one of the inconsistencies of the iPhone. BACK. SOme times it is a button at the top left as Kazyn said. Sometimes it is bottom right. It is app dependent. This is one of the things I can't stand about the iPhone.

Android devices are starting to shift away from the 4 physical buttons in newer hardware depending what OS is launching with the device.
There is no equivalent to the menu button. The iPhone button does 3 things: Home, Voice Command (long press) and task menu (double click from home screen).
To get to settings, you would have to do this: Button> Settings. If you want to 'back' well there is no 'rewind' per se. You would need to double click button to bring up tasks and then choose task.
There are soft options within apps or menu UI which have a back arrow, but not always.
About flash. Safari and iOS do not support flash natively. You would need to download a 3rd party browser like Skyfire which will play flash. I wont get into technical details as to how it does it, but it is a solution for iPad nad iPhone users.

Skyfire only plays flash videos, it doesn't do anything else. Some sites do not work with it.
There is support coming for it in the future, but might prove worthless with HTML5 rolling out this year and really going big time by 2013.
You mean official support? I don't think I can believe that without seeing it from Apple themselves. They've always said they will never support flash, now or ever.
Now, if you're talking a jailbroken app or something, that's a different story.

You are correct, it will never be native support, only in reference to the browser and OnLive apps I was talking about.
You are correct, it will never be native support. Adobe has created Flash Media server and Flash Access for iPhone and iPad users.
Basically circumventing Safari and going with an app type of delivery of video content.
Probably smart on their part, but I think you're right in that HTML5 is going to dominate flash soon.
On on Iphone when you run the YouTube app or otherwise stream video, or use Google Maps Street View, what technology is it using, to do so?
(On a Windows computer, Google Maps Street View does require Flash.)
