Flash it’s a bit more complex to program than Java, it allows better GUI’s , but the underlying infrastructure it’s less complex in Java

In the quoted sentece he was talking about the browser and it’s true: nobody use it as browser plugin (applets) anymore.
Often you have plan html or javascript (AJAX) on the client side and Java on the server side.

Said that I think not having Java on iPhone (not speaking about the browser now) is a bad choice.

Mac / OS X is the universe for Mr. Jobs; anything else is inconsequential… so from his perspective it either is native coding against the OS X, or Web (HTML, HTTP, Javascript, etc etc etc) - the rest doesn’t matter and is a distraction. From the perspective of mobile, they are inventing/focusing on their own thing, so the rest (except for native and web) is inconsequential…
