I agree with soho_1, this ad is already outdated. Apple loses nothing by agreeing to no longer air it.
In so much that there are no pre-defined "parts" of the internet, and the fact that the narrator refers to these parts in a colloquial manner, I am surprised that Apple did not challenge this more. Perhaps the fact that the ad would be replaced with iPhone 3G ads made their decision easier.
As far as flash lite goes, I have yet to see a WM device demonstrate it so that it works both well and with stability to the browser in question. I have seen it twice and it led to crashes of the browser the person was using. I was never feeling like it was necessary to my iPhone use. I have even seen the two sites that I view regularly that used flash be redesigned to have a non-flash design, thus making viewing with mobile Safari that much better. This is the sort of trend that would bite Adobe in the backside if they do not quickly reconsider the stand they have taken regarding licensing their product. If it could work like on the desktop, though, I would really like to have it on my mobile device.
Jason referenced the 3G speeds as well. I have found much variability using the iPhone 3G. Sometimes 3G is slower than EDGE ever was, but then there are times like last weekend in Saskatoon when we were downloading Youtube videos at wi-fi speeds. It was amazing. On a side note, I experienced a technorgasmic event using the GPS on the iPhone 3G. Keeping in mind that the only thing with GPS I have ever had was my Garmin Forerunner, seeing the pulsating blue orb on Google Maps moving along the roads we were traveling on was too cool. Helpful as well, and along with the Box Office app for the iPhone it actually made my non-geeky wife say, "Wow, this thing really is cool!"
It doesn't get any better for a geek, my friends.
