> If Adobe's UI control doesn't include a camera switching button what happens when you install the app on an iPhone 4G?

Flash CS5 isn't going to be used to build the next big application. It will, however, be very useful for creating (or porting) games and other multimedia experiences. The iPhone 4G will likely have a higher resolution screen and Flash itself mostly resolution independent -- it might not take long for Adobe to update CS5 and all those developers could have 4G ready high-res apps in less time than it takes an Objective-C developers to fire up Photoshop. It's really not as simple as you make it out to be.

> Do previously submitted applications using Apple's APIs directly automatically inherit the camera switch button?

Most likely not.

> Is the user going to sit there fumbling with the app annoyed that they can't use the features of the new phone they bought?

It's been mentioned many times when discussing Apple's rule changes that developers and apps are easily replaceable. If Joe Developer doesn't update his app, it'll just be replaced by another app by another developer.

Right, because Adobe has always been known for the speed and quality of its updates, especially on the Mac platform.
