Apple’s iPhone 3G ads have been pulled from the U.K. air because the iPhone doesn’t deliver the internet. The iPhone doesn’t use Flash and Java, so what you see on the iPhone internet is different than what you see on other devices. The UK’s Advertising Standards Authority says its agregious enough because the ad claims “all parts of the internet are on the iPhone” Apple certainly won’t add Java or Flash but will have to be more careful in their boasts.

"We concluded that the ad gave a misleading impression of the internet capabilities of the iPhone" because "viewers were likely to expect to be able to see all the content on a web site normally accessible through a PC rather than just having the ability to reach the website." (engadget)
