Surprisingly, there is no native "find" function in the version of Safari that comes with the iPhone.
If you are browsing a large piece of content, and need to find a particular word or section of the page quickly, this can present a serious problem.
Thankfully, you can add a search or text finding function to Safari on your iPhone with relative ease through the use of bookmarklets.
Refer to this post for more information about bookmarklets and how to add them to your iPhone.
For those of you unfamiliar with bookmarklets, a bookmarklet is a Javascript program stored within a URL (or sometimes within a web page as a hyperlink). These program add functionality to the browser. The term itself is a combination of the terms bookmark and applet (a small program or application).
No. The iPhone does not support flash.
Apple has been clear, up until this point, that they do not intend to support Flash on the iPhone. Adobe announced its own plans to support Flash on the iPhone when the iPhone SDK was released, but was forced to repeal their own comments when they discovered the SDK did not provide enough access to the iPhone OS "innards" to provide such support.
Future generations of the iPhone may support Flash, but for now, the answer is no.
No. The iPhone will not support Java applications of any kind. Steve Jobs has been quoted as saying "Java's not worth building in. Nobody uses Java anymore. It's this big heavyweight ball and chain."
We can't disagree with the last part of Jobs' scathing remark, but stating that Java doesn't get used anymore couldn't be farther from the truth - especially in the world of mobile devices.
In any event, the iPhone will not offer Java support.
Yes, straight from the mouth of Steve Jobs is the indication that Javascript is built into the iPhone.
This offers a much more expansive mobile web browsing experience vs. mobile browsers which do not suport Javascript.
