The iphone version is a bit more interactive in that you can edit the list of words. Is that what you mean?

And since the iphone has touch input, you can spin the wheels with your fingers, they have some inertia and keep going for a bit. The flash one doesn't have any inertia when you are dragging.

Actually I was thinking about a text input box with a spin button below it. The input text would give a clue to the innermost wheel as to what universe of random words to choose from. For instance inputing Blue might produce berries, bird, feelings, ect., vs stop sign or school bus on the inner wheel. It seems like it would be more interesting to "play with" when someone is bored too, which could translate into more sales.
