Unfortunately Stallman just devolved to his "Us vs Them" mentality that fails to serve him and his movement. He should have been trying to start a debate on plug-in standards or how web application authors and hosts can build community and extensibility through open standards and free software ideals.

Safari on iPhone, much like it's desktop counterpart needs work. The only thing that ever encouraged Apple to innovate is competition. It's uphill battle against Windows has brought many welcome changes to OS X, as well as may new apps to meet customer need (like Safari).
I see a browser war on iPhone producing a better Safari for both platforms.
